Brushed Motors and Brushless Motor and Stepping Motor

DC Motors

DC motors are capable of high-speed rotation of 2,000~40,000 rpm and have high torque.

• Brushed Motors
  Brushed motors are the most common type of motor. The current is switched by sequentially bringing the brushes, which are electrodes on the stator side, into contact with the commutator on the armature side, thereby causing the motor to rotate.

• Brushless Motor
  Brushless motor do not use brushes and commutators. The current is switched electrically using a switching function with a transistor, etc. (Application example: CD player).
• 
  
• Stepping Motor
  A stepping motor operates using pulsed electric power and are also called a pulse motor. They are characterized by its ability to easily perform accurate positioning operations. (Application example: Printer)
