What determines the life expectancy of a Brushless motor?
Last Updated: 05/23/2014
The life expectations of a BLDC motor are dependent on the operating conditions and environment. Under “ideal” conditions, a BLDC motor-only will have minimal wear and will have a long life span. High radial and axial load will affect the life of the bearings, therefore, reducing life. For BLDC gear-motors, the gearing technology will determine life.
