If an application requires high speed, quiet operation, low EMI and longevity, then brushless DC technology (BLDC) might be what you’re looking for in a motion solution. While Brushless DC motors have an overwhelming number of advantages, there are also a few counterpoints to be aware of before making the commitment to go brushless. This quick guide breaks down advantages of brushless technology, cost (versus a brush DC motor), and how to determine the ideal motor type for a particular application.
