The third wire is used for feedback during the instant that it's not energized. Switching any two of these wires will change the rotation of the motor. The permanent magnets of inrunner brushless motors are positioned on the inside of the electromagnets. Inrunner brushless motors are set up very similar to the canned motor explained above, except the permanent magnets and electromagnets are in opposite positions.
An outrunner brushless motor has the permanent magnets on the outside of the electromagnets. You can see in the picture to the right that the outer hub holding the permanent magnets has the output shaft attached in the center. The faster a motor spins, the more efficient it is. Inrunner motors turn very fast and are much more efficient than outrunner motors.
For this reason, the output speed and torque of the propeller can easily be " tweaked " to facilitate different flying characteristics by using different size gears. The downside of an inrunner is the added parts that can and do fail.
The gears get stripped, and the gearbox shafts are easily bent. It can also be an obstacle when mounting the gearbox motor combination for your RC airplane neatly, especially under a cowling. Below is a working list of some of the more common brushless RC motor manufactures. At the bottom of each listing, there is a comments section for sharing your thoughts, experiences, or questions with each of these brands. It seems like every day there is a new brand of brushless motor hitting the market.
If you have experience with another quality manufacturer of brushless airplane motors,. Feel free to ask questions or add comments! The most common of these are diameter, length, weight, Kv motor constant, and Ro. Size — Motors are usually defined by the outer diameter and length of the stator. Diameter and length are usually specified by a 4 digit number. Weight — This is straightforward, but weight is very important for quadcopters because it impacts flight time, the size of props needed, among other things.
This is usually measured in grams. Kv — Kv stands for voltage constant and gives an indication of how fast the motor will rotate with no load on it for an applied voltage.
Brushed and brushless motors have a speed that is proportional to the voltage applied to the motor. I plan to have another post about it in the future.
Ro — this is merely the resistance of the motor. Resistance has an effect on efficiency, torque and many other aspects of a motor. So a 2 pole motor would have 1 north magnet and 1 south magnet.
A 6 pole motor would have 3 north magnets and 3 south magnets. The of poles can have an effect on efficiency, speed, and a number of other motor parameters. It depends.

The permanent magnets that would wrap around the armature in a normal motor are instead placed around the motor shaft, and this assembly is called the rotor. The wire coils are around the inside of the motor can, making several different magnetic poles. In a sensored brushless motor, there are sensors on the rotor that send signals back to the electonic speed control. Why brushless motors are so much more efficient than brushed motors Other than the ball bearings the rotor spins on, there is no physical connection at all, automatically making the brushless motor more efficient and longer-lasting because there is no friction of the brushes and commutator.
Having a computer the speedo control the rotation of the rotor also vastly increases efficiency. There's also no sparking from brushes to commutator so electrical interference is drastically reduced, and finally the coils are much easier to keep cool, boosting efficiency even further.
Are there any drawbacks to brushless motors? The only possible drawback to a brushless motor system is the increased starting cost, however anyone familiar with maintaining high-power, heavily abused brushed motors will know that you'll quickly see considerable savings because you won't be replacing motor brushes, brush springs, armatures or whole motors How much cheaper could brushless motors be than standard motors?
The cost of racing a typical touring car brushed motor could add up to over Euro per run if you replace the brushes every time you do a 5-minute race. Add in the cost of a variety of springs four pairs of springs at 3 Euro per pair , commutator lathe at over 90 Euro, diamond tip for the lathe at over 50 Euro, then the extra battery pack for the lathe and you've got quite a racing bill on your hands!
Are brushless motors really 'no maintenance'? They are such a time-saver that racers around the world have re-discovered the joys of having fun in the pit area.
They no longer have to deal with everything they used to do with their motors between every race: motor removal, disassembly, comm trueing, brush swapping, re-assembly, break-in and finally re-installing
