PERMANENT MAGNET MOTOR CONTROL: Overview

Click for larger image

Permanent Magnet Motors or Brushless DC motors Drive High Reliability Electric Applications - Due to their improved torque/inertia and power/size ratios, electronically commutated permanent magnet motors are now preferred in many variable speed applications that induction motors or hydraulics have dominated in the past.

They are commonly used where precise speed control is necessary; computer disk drives, video cassette recorders, the spindles within CD, CD-ROM, drives, and mechanisms within office products such as fans,laser printers and photocopiers.
