A brush motor is a type of electric motor that uses brushes to transfer electrical energy to the rotor. These brushes, typically made of carbon, make contact with a rotating commutator, allowing the motor to convert electrical energy into mechanical energy. Brush motors are commonly found in various applications, including household appliances and power tools. One of the main advantages of brush motors is their simplicity and cost-effectiveness. However, they do require regular maintenance due to wear on the brushes and commutator. In contrast, brushless motors eliminate the need for brushes, offering higher efficiency and longer lifespan, but they tend to be more complex and expensive.
