The BLDC motor efficiency over that of a traditional brushed motor is another benefit to using a brushless motor. Brushless motors have an overall higher speed and torque, and produce less noise than traditional brushed motors. They also run more efficiently and have little or no power loss, which is a problem that can accompany brushed motors due to increased friction caused by the brushes. BLDC motors have reportedly hit 85 to 90 percent efficiency margins, which is higher than the standard brushed motors at 75 to 80 percent.

Brushless DC motors must also be electronically commutated, which means the motor is regulated by a control mechanism. That feature allows the 3 phase BLDC motor to change speeds at varying degrees along with the ability to quickly accelerate and decelerate to provide for the most efficient use of power and productivity when it comes to output. BLDC motors also typically weigh less than a brushed motor, but they have the ability to provide similar power outputs. With the capability to provide high speed performance and efficient operation, the brushless DC motor is an obvious choice that can be used in multiple applications across a range of industries, including:

• Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning
• Electrical vehicles
• Pumps
• Laboratory equipment
