Why Are Brushless Tools Becoming More Popular?

As the demand for power tools increases every day, most power tool manufacturers focus on producing power tools with advanced features to compete with well-known brands. Power tools with brushless technology are becoming more popular among DIYers, professionals, and power tool manufacturers for marketing purposes, which is not new.

When a power dimmer with the ability to convert alternating current (AC) to direct current (DC) was invented in the early 1960s, power tools with brushless motors became widespread. Magnetism-based technology was used in the tools by power tool manufacturers; an electric battery then balanced these magnetism-based power tools. Brushless motors were designed without a switch to transmit current, and most power tool manufacturers prefer manufacturing and distributing tools with brushless motors because they sell better than brushed tools.

Power tools with brushless motors did not become popular until the 1980s. A Brushless motor could generate the same amount of power as brushed motors thanks to fixed magnets and high-voltage transistors. Brushless motor developments have not stopped in the last three decades. As a result, power tool manufacturers and distributors are now providing more dependable power tools. Consequently, customers benefit from key advantages such as great diversity and lower maintenance costs due to this.

Brushed and Brushless Motors, What Are the Differences? Which is Used More?

Brushed Motor

The armature of a brushed DC motor acts as a two-pole electromagnet with a configuration of wound wire coils. The commutator, a mechanical rotary switch, changes the directionality of the current twice per cycle. The electromagnet’s poles push and pull against the magnets around the outside of the motor, allowing current to pass more easily through the armature. As the commutator’s poles cross the permanent magnets’ poles, the armature’s electromagnet’s polarity is reversed.

Brushless Motor

A brushless motor, on the other hand, has a permanent magnet as its rotor. It also utilizes three phases of driving coils as well as a sophisticated sensor that monitors rotor position. The sensor sends reference signals to the controller as it detects the rotor orientation. The coils are then activated in a structured way by the controller, one by one. There are some advantages to power tools with brushless technology, these advantages are as follows:

• Due to the lack of brushes, there is less total maintenance cost.
• Brushless technology performs well at all speeds with the rated load.
• Brushless technology increases the performance rate of the tool.
• Brushless technology provides the device with many superior thermal characteristics.
• Brushless technology generates lower electric noise and a greater speed range.

Brushless motors are now far more popular than brushed motors. Both, on the other hand, can be used in a wide variety of applications. In household appliances and vehicles, brushed DC motors are also widely used. They still have a strong commercial market due to the potential to change the torque-to-speed ratio, which is only available with brushed motors.

Enjoy Brushless Technology with Series of Power Tools

Tiankon has used brushless motors in its latest range of 20V durable tools, just like other well-known brands such as Metabo, Dewalt, Bosch, and others.  To give the users the joy of using brushless power tools,Tiankon, as a power tools manufacturer, has released a line of brushless mini angle grinders, die grinders, impact drills, screwdrivers, impact wrenches, rotary hammers, blowers, hedge trimmers, and grass trimmers, all of which run on a single battery. Imagine being able to do anything with a single battery: sawing, drilling, trimming, polishing, and so on. As a result of having new compatible batteries, not only will performance be improved, but time and space will be saved as well. Consequently, you can charge your tools once and accomplish hundreds of jobs with only one battery that works with all of your tools.

This brushless tool series comes with two powerful batteries: a 20V battery pack with a 2.0AH Li-ion battery and a 20V battery pack with a 4.0AH Li-ion battery. If you need to work for an extended period, the 20V 4.0Ah battery pack is the best option because it powers the tools for longer periods of time. Otherwise, the 20V battery pack with a 2.0Ah Li-ion battery is a smarter choice if dealing with the tools does not take a long time.
