Hand drill, I believe we have seen, whether it is decoration or maintenance, as a common drilling with power tools, are inseparable from it, we often hear when choosing a hand drill, “brush” and “brushless”, what does this refer to?
Hand drill generally uses a DC motor, the difference between brushed and brushless, in fact, lies in the carbon brushes, brushed need to be mechanically commutated; brushless does not need carbon brushes, but with Hall sensors for commutation, the driver to drive.
Working principle of hand drill.
When the hand drill is energized, the magnetic field cuts the wire, and current is generated in the wire. The rotating magnetic field is the rotor and the cutting wire is the stator. In order for the rotor to produce a magnetic field, an excitation current must be fed into the coil of the rotor, and the carbon brushes play this role.
Is it better to have a brush or brushless hand drill?
1. Brush hand drill advantages and disadvantages
(1) Advantages: It has the advantages of fast starting, timely braking, smooth speed regulation, simple control, simple structure, low price, etc.. And the starting current is high, the torque (torque) at low speed is large, can carry heavy loads.
(2) disadvantages: due to friction between carbon brushes and commutator, easy to generate sparks, heat, noise, electromagnetic interference with the external environment, low efficiency, short service life; brushes are consumables, after a period of time to replace the trouble.
2. Brushless hand drill advantages and disadvantages
(1) advantages: no carbon brushes, so low noise, maintenance-free, low failure rate, long life, high-speed regulation accuracy, stable running time and voltage, low interference with radio equipment.
(2) Disadvantages: the cost is relatively high, and the design can be a bit complicated.
The above is the working principle of hand drill and the difference between brush and brushless, but in general, brushless hand drill is better, maintenance-free and longer service life.
