Brushless motors are any permanentmagnet motors, switchedreluctance motors, or induction motors that omit the use of commutator and brushes for commutation.

There’s more on this subtopic at: https://www.motioncontroltips.com/cat... and from this video’s sponsor at https://www.electrocraft.com.

Here we consider the motor type that’s usually implied when engineers use the term brushless motor — that of the permanentmagnet design. For more information on this, visit https://www.motioncontroltips.com/cat....

We also cover other brushless motor designs that don’t have magnets (induction and switchedreluctance) and a few common ways in which brushless motors are driven.
