Brushed DC Motor | Brushless DC Motor |
It uses brushes to deliver current to the motor windings through mechanical commutation. |
It uses electrical commutation instead to mechanical commutation to deliver current. |
Armature winding is on rotor. |
Armature winding is on stator. |
Fixed magnets are placed on either side of the rotating electromagnet. |
Eixed magnets are mounted on the rotor. |
Current is delivered to the commutator coils by metallic brushes |
It employs, control circuitry instead of using brushes. |
Low overall construction cost |
Less maintenance due to lack of brushes. |
Inexpensive and reliable but brushes réquire periodic maintenance. |
Little expensive but efficient and require no maintenance. |
