Commutator
In brushed motors, invented in the 19th
century, this is done with a rotary switch
on the motor's shaft called a
commutator.[3][5][4] It consists of a rotating
cylinder divided into multiple metal
contact segments on the rotor. The
segments are connected to wire
electromagnet windings on the rotor. Two
or more stationary contacts called
"brushes", made of a soft conductor like
graphite press against the commutator,
making sliding electrical contact with
successive segments as the rotor turns,
providing electric current to the winding.
Each time the rotor rotates by 180° the
commutator reverses the direction of the
electric current applied to a given winding,
so the magnetic field creates a torque in
one direction.
Disadvantages of commutator
Brushless solution
The development of semiconductor
electronics in the 1970s allowed the
commutator and brushes to be eliminated
in DC motors. In brushless DC motors, an
electronic servo system replaces the
mechanical commutator contacts.[3][5][4]
An electronic sensor detects the angle of
the rotor, and controls semiconductor
switches such as transistors which switch
current through the windings, either
reversing the direction of the current, or in
some motors turning it off, at the correct
time each 180° shaft rotation so the
electromagnets create a torque in one
direction. The elimination of the sliding
contact allows brushless motors to have
less friction and longer life; their working
life is only limited by the lifetime of their
bearings.
Controller implementations
Because the controller implements the
traditional brushes' functionality it needs
the rotor's orientation/position (relative to
the stator coils). This is automatic in a
brushed motor due to the fixed geometry
of rotor shaft and brushes. Some designs
use Hall effect sensors or a rotary encoder
to directly measure the rotor's position.
Others measure the back-EMF in the
undriven coils to infer the rotor position,
eliminating the need for separate Hall
effect sensors, and therefore are often
called sensorless controllers.
