Brushless motors

Brushless DC motors from the BL range are available in 5 sizes with torque from 37 mNm to 0.7Nm and they can be supplied with either an integrated (version IE) or external driver. The advantages of using brushless motors instead of traditional DC brush motors are the following:

Longer life time
Higher efficiency
Electronic commutation and control of the motor via digital sensors (encoder, resolver etc.)
Wide speed range
Maintenance free

BL motors have a compact design and thanks to low inertia they have high performances and are a low cost solution already including Hall sensors, as opposed to an encoder or resolver. The 3 phase windings of the motor have a low voltage of 24/36/48 V and so these motors are safer to use when a machine operator has direct contact with them. Furthermore, by using the integrated speed controller, optional IE solution, the cables of the equipment can be simplified taking up less space in the electric cabinet.

Insulation class

Class	Δ t °C Ambient temperature: 40°C
B	90°C
F	115°C
H	140°C

IEC duty cycle ratings

S1	Continuous duty. The motor works at a constant load for enough time to reach temperature equilibrium.
S2	Short time duty. The motor works at a constant load, but not long enough to reach temperature equilibrium, and the rest periods are long enough for the motor to reach ambient temperature.
S3	Intermittent periodic duty. Sequential, identical run and rest cycles with constant load. Temperature equilibrium is never reached. Starting current has little effect on temperature rise.

Key / Diagram Glossary

With a brushless motor, the rotational speed is a linear function of
the torque. In the same way, the absorbed current is also a linear
function of the torque. Speed and current change a lot against
applied torque.

Motori Brushless - Legenda e Glossario

The output power is calculated using the formula:
Pn [W]= Mn · S = 2π
60 · n1 · Mn

Motori Brushless - Legenda e Glossario

Since the supply voltage is constant, whereas the current increases
in a linear manner as the torque increases, the absorbed power
trend is a straight line going up. Efficiency is shown from the ratio
between the output power and the absorbed power.
