B-RAD Select: Unveiling Brushless Motor Efficiency in Torque Tools
At the heart of every torque tool lies the electric motor, which converts electricity into tightening power. While brushed electric motors are traditionally the go-to when it comes to torque tools, growing infrastructure demands from big projects like mega-dams, wind farms, and skyscrapers, require an alternative.
Next-gen brushless motors enable unparalleled energy efficiency and longevity in elite tools like the B-RAD Select. Discover how advanced brushless technology is driving the future of high-performance bolting.
The Vital Role of Torque Tool Motors
An electric motor’s capabilities make or break a tool’s overall effectiveness. Suboptimal motors lead to slow, weak torque delivery that hampers productivity. They also require frequent downtime for maintenance which disrupts operations further.
In contrast, a robust, efficient motor delivers faster, harder torque for longer without interruption. This keeps crews tightening at maximum productivity.
As motors directly determine torque output and durability, enhancing this core component is crucial for next-level tool performance.
The Drawbacks of Brushed Motors
Traditionally, pneumatic tools used brushed electric motors known for their simple, inexpensive construction. However, the antiquated brushed design has inherent limitations:
- Short lifespans because of mechanical commutator or brush wear
- Low energy efficiency due to frictional losses at contact points
- High noise and vibration from brushes sparking
- Frequent maintenance to replace worn brushes
While cost-effective, brushed technology ultimately cannot meet evolving infrastructure demands. A paradigm shift to brushless designs was needed.
The Rise of Brushless Motors
Brushless motors eliminate contact points and instead use sensors and electronics to channel current. This approach completely transforms torque tool capabilities:
Extended Lifespans
Without brushes and commutators wearing down from friction, brushless motors last longer between services. Less maintenance means fewer disruptions and increased productivity.
High Efficiency
Without the energy-draining friction of brushes, brushless motors use less power than brushed alternatives, minimizing energy losses and operating cooler.
Enhanced Control
Advanced digital control systems deliver precise torque adjustment and rapid pulsing capabilities for challenging fastener applications. Integrated sensors and closed-loop speed regulation optimize power delivery for maximum efficiency and performance.
Compact Design
Consolidation of control electronics within the motor housing optimizes space utilization, enabling the development of compact and lightweight tools without compromising power output.
