How Does the Hall Effect Sensor Work on a BLDC Motor? 2025-09-22
Brushless DC (BLDC) motors are widely recognized for their efficiency, precision, and reliability across industrial, automotive, and consumer applications. Unlike brushed motors, BLDC motors eliminate the physical brush mechanism, significantly reducing wear and increasing lifespan. However, this brushless configuration requires accurate rotor position sensing to maintain correct commutation, ensuring the motor operates smoothly and efficiently. This is where the Hall Effect sensor plays a pivotal role. A Hall Effect sensor is a magnetic field sensor that detects the position of the rotor. By converting magnetic flux changes into electrical signals, it allows the motor controller to determine the exact rotor position, enabling precise commutation timing and improving overall motor performance.
