Types of Brushless motors——Brushless DC Motor&BLDC Planetary Gearmotor&BLDC Worm Gearmotor Tightly connected

BLOG | 05/06/2025

Brushless motors are widely used in modern automation and robotics.The advantages of brushless DC include energy saving, high efficiency, low maintenance, and low noise. The birth and R&D of brushless gear motors are mainly to solve the limitations of traditional brushless motors in low-speed and high-torque applications, and to meet the needs of more industrial automation and precision equipment

Brushless geared motors combine the efficiency of brushless motor technology with speed reducers. These motors are commonly divided into planetary geared motors and worm gear motors, which share efficiency and torque characteristics but differ in structure, direction, and application flexibility.

Classification diagram of brushless motors

Just like a tree, the brushless motor is the trunk—while brushless planetary gearmotors and worm gearmotors are its major branches, each extending in different directions to meet specific application needs.



What Are the Key Differences Between The Types?

The three types differ in internal construction, output behavior, space requirements, and cost. Here's a simplified comparison table:

FonctionnalitéMoteur BrushlessMotoréducteur planétaire sans balaisBrushless Worm Gearmotor
Structure interneMotor only, no gearboxMotor + planetary gear setMotor + worm and wheel gear set
Couple de sortieFaibleHigh (torque amplification through gears)Moderate to high, with self-locking ability
Vitesse de sortieHigh (3000–10000 rpm)Reduced (10–500 rpm depending on ratio)Reduced and smoother (typically <300 rpm)
Efficacité des engrenagesN/DÉlevé (90–95 %)Lower (70–85%) due to sliding friction
Direction de sortieInline (coaxial)Inline (coaxial)Right-angle output
Taille et poidsThérapie Slightly bulkier due to gearboxBulky due to angular structure
PrixFaibleModéréeModerate to high (depending on gear ratio)
ApplicationsFans, drones, centrifugal pumpsAGVs, robot arms, medical robotsDoors, conveyors, lifting equipment


What Is Right-Angle Output vs. Coaxial Output in Speed Reducers?

sortie coaxiale  The input shaft and output shaft are arranged coaxially, such as the helical gear structure of the R series reducer, and the space utilization is optimized through a compact design. It is suitable for heavy equipment with horizontal coaxial transmission, such as cranes, conveyors, etc

Right-angle output The right-angle output adopts bevel gears (such as K series reducers) or turbine-helical gear combinations (such as S series reducers) to achieve a 90° right-angle layout between the input shaft and the output shaft. Suitable for equipment that requires vertical drive, e.g. heavy industrial machinery (K series) or light industrial equipment (S series)


How to Judge Load Size and Make the Right Motor Selection?

  • Calcul du couple

  • F = load force (N)

    r = radius (m)

    η = efficacité

  • Match Application Requirements

    Continuous, heavy load → Brushless geared motor

    Intermittent or low load → Direct brushless motor

  • Consider Space and Output Direction

    Tight space → Worm gearmotor

    Precision and inline output → Planetary gearmotor

  • Add a Safety Factor
    For industrial use, a 20% safety margin is recommended.


What Are the Advantages and Disadvantages of Each Motor Type?
