Concept
Electronic commutation refers to the method of switching the current in brushless motors using electronic circuits instead of mechanical brushes, enhancing efficiency and reducing wear. This technique is fundamental in modern motor control systems, enabling precise speed and torque control in various applications, from household appliances to electric vehicles.
Relevant Fields:
Concept
A Brushless DC Motor (BLDC) is an electric motor that uses electronic commutation instead of mechanical brushes, offering higher efficiency, reliability, and longevity compared to traditional brushed motors. It is widely used in applications requiring precise control and high performance, such as drones, electric vehicles, and industrial automation systems.
Concept
Hall Effect Sensors are devices that leverage the Hall Effect to measure magnetic fields and convert them into electrical signals, often used for position sensing, speed detection, and current sensing. They are non-contact, highly reliable, and can operate in harsh environments, making them ideal for automotive, industrial, and consumer electronics applications.
