Product catalog summary
Introduction to Brushless DC Motors
Portescap Brushless DC motors are known for their reliability and high performance. They offer high power density, allowing for smaller application sizes, and operate quietly even at high speeds. An autoclavable option makes them suitable for medical applications.

Why Choose a Brushless Motor?
Brushless motors eliminate mechanical commutation, resulting in longer life limited only by ball bearing wear. They offer excellent speed and position control, improved heat dissipation, and high efficiency. The design features a rotating permanent magnet and stationary windings, which enhances durability and performance.

Brushless Motor Technologies
There are two main technologies: slotted iron structure, which uses stacked steel lamination, and slotless iron structure, which uses a self-supporting cylindrical ironless coil.

Custom Motor Options
Portescap offers customization in stack lengths, winding, shaft modifications, materials, and more. Standard features include continuous stall torque up to 39 oz-in, peak torque up to 332.7 oz-in, and speeds up to 100,000 rpm.

Specifications and Selection
Specifications include back-EMF constant, electrical time constant, inductance, and more. Selection involves understanding motor designation, diameter, stack length, gearhead options, and winding types.

Applications
Brushless motors are used in various fields:
  • Medical: Surgical hand tools, respirators, infusion pumps.
  • Industrial Automation: Nut runners, screwdrivers, conveyors.
  • Aerospace & Defense: Aircraft instrumentation, gyroscopes, satellites.
  • Other: Robotics, precision instrumentation, security devices.


Conclusion
Portescap Brushless DC motors provide versatile and reliable solutions across multiple industries, offering customization and high performance for specific application needs.

Why a Brushless motor Housing Lamination Stack Flange Winding Print with Hall sensors Permanent Magnet Bearing Brushless Technology Conventional DC motors use a stationary magnet with a rotating armature combining the commutation segments and brushes to provide automatic commutation. In comparison, the brushless DC motor is a reversed design: the permanent magnet is rotating whereas the windings are part of the stator and can be energized without requiring a commutator-and-brush system. Therefore this motor type achieves very long, trouble-free life even while • o mechanical commutation N Long...

How to select your Brushless motor Hall Sensors In general, BLDC motors have three phase windings. The easiest way is to power two of them at a time, using Hall sensors to know the rotor position. A simple logic allows for optimal energizing of the phases as a function of rotor position, just like the commutator and brushes are doing in the conventional DC motor. Possible applications: high variation of speed and/or load, positioning Sensorless With this solution the motor includes no sensors or electronic components and it is therefore highly insensitive to hostile environments. In all motors,...

Where to apply your Portescap Brushless motor SURGICAL HAND TOOL When you’re an orthopedic surgeon performing multiple operations in a day, hand tools that are powerful and precise are a must. However, a smaller, more lightweight version of the tool would be a welcome relief. Portescap supplies customized solutions that are exceptionally lightweight but do not compromise performance. Its lightweight feel and low-heat feature reduce hand fatigue in surgeons. Suitable sealing and optimized design assure adequate autoclaving and prevent contamination. So surgeons, and their patients, have a lot...
