BLDC motors can be divided into two types
based on their rotating parts:
1. Brushless DC motor inside the rotor (also known as inner rotor): This type of BLDC motor has a rotating component (rotor) inside the electromagnetic coil (stator) assembly. Its structure allows for heat dissipation through conduction, as the stator coils are installed on the motor casing. The inner rotor brushless DC motor can easily reach peak speed, making it most suitable for applications that require higher speed characteristics.
2. Outer rotor brushless DC motor (also known as outer rotor): This type of outer rotor BLDC motor is basically the opposite to the type of inner rotor brushless motor. It uses a rotating shell to wrap around fixed internal components. Outer rotor BLDC motors typically use a larger number of permanent magnet poles on the rotor, which means greater torque and smoother operation. These types of motors are more suitable for low-speed, high torque applications.
We have magnets for both types of motors. The outer rotor motor in the picture can be used for BLDC ceiling fans, while the inner rotor motor can be used for coolers, range hoods, and other places.
