Video - Brushless Motors and Drives | How It Works?

Transcript: Today we are discussing the brushless motor and drive Solutions offered by John Brooks. A brushless DC motor is essentially flipped inside out, eliminating the need for brushes to transfer Voltage to the magnetic field. In brushless DC motors, the permanent magnets are on the rotor, and the windings are on the stator.

Our John Brooks Range of brushless DC motors and drives are built using advanced control technology that features excellent performance and ease of use. These brushless systems are aimed at applications requiring high-performance, high-speed, basic velocity control, and low-cost compact design.

The John Brooks drives, and motors are optimized to work together as sets. They provide stable velocity control over a wide speed range. Motor speed can be controlled by an on-board trim pot, a 0–5-volt analogue input, or via the drive's digital inputs. Dedicated stop and enable inputs are available, along with a braking feature that brings the motor to zero speed in a quick and controlled fashion.

The John Brooks series of brushless motors offer long life and low maintenance. They come in metric frame sizes and are offered with optional gearheads for applications demanding high torque. John Brooks has a wide range of expertise spread across 3 branches to help assist in selecting, assembling, and delivering brushless motors and drive solutions you can trust. If you’re not sure which drive set to select, contact your local branch, and a John Brooks representative will be in contact to discuss your needs and requirements.
