INTRODUCTION
What is Motor? It is a machine can converts electrical energy to mechanical energy. It may be DC or AC depending upon the type of power supply. It has mainly two parts- stator & rotor. DC motors are of two typesi) Brushed motor with brushes and commutator and ii) Brushless motor- without brushes.
INTRODUCTION
Commutator is a cylindrical in structure, made of copper or carbon with high conductivity. Mounted on the rotor part of the brushed motor. Helps to conduct current through conductor when the brushes comes to contact during rotation. The electrical contacts to the rotating ring called brushes.

BRUSHLESS MOTOR
It
has no brushes and commutators. The rotation of the rotor depends on the accurate position with stator. Detected by Hall Sensor, mounted on rotor, shifted at 60 or 120 phase shift. Electronic commutation used to vary the PWM duty-cycle for speed control, using software.
circuit to rotate the rotor. Rotor position is very important. HALL SENSOR senses the position of the coil accurately
motor. Senses accurate position of the rotor to the stator. Shifts at 60 or 120 phase shift for each of three coils, yet a time two coils work for 3 current Due to the changing of direction of the current & applying Flemings Left Hand rule force direction can be determined. Thus the permanent magnet on rotor moves clockwise , as well as the rotor of the BLDC also moves clockwise.
PWM requirement
To control the speed PWM is required. To vary the
speed the Hall output signals should be pulse width modulated. When the signals marked by PWM switches ON or OFF according to the sequence, the motor will run at the rated speed. The PWM frequency should be at least 10 times of the max. frequency as thumb rule. By varying duty cycle, the stator voltage can be increased causes increasing of the speed.
Machine rated speed 1000rpm, commutated with 6 pulses Required frequency f= 10006 = 6000 pulse/min. Therefore, speed in pulse/sec= 6000/60= 100 Hz. And the PWM frequency= 10100 Hz =1kHz. Thus the speed depends on the switching frequency i.e. switching period. By varying duty cycle PWM freq. varies and switching speed also varies. It is controlled by electronically through software PEWIN32PRO in GMRT rayshed.
Testing Procedure
PMAC 1st axis connected to motor1 through servostar #1 as well as 2nd also connected to motor2 through servostar #2. Both the motors coupled through central gear and connected to the encoder. Encoder feedback connected to 5th axis of the PMAC. Commands for position loop #1o0 #2o0 #5o0 (enabling 1st, 2nd and 5th axis) #5j+ (closing the position loop)
In BLDC motor PM are on the rotor & electromagnets are on the stator controlled by software. Thus the advantages are: Because of computer control it is more precise & more efficient. There is no sparking & less electrical noise. Voltage and current rating is high. High speed can be achieved. As there is no brushes it requires no servicing. It has longer life. Low Radio Frequency Interference and Electromagnetic Interference.
