Micro dc Coreless Motor with Brush

Product Description

Micro Coreless Brushed DC Motors are ultra-small, high-performance electric motors that use a coreless (ironless) rotor and brushes for commutation. Unlike traditional brushed motors with an iron-core armature, coreless motors use a lightweight coil winding suspended inside a permanent magnetic field. This design makes them faster, smoother, and more efficient, especially at small sizes.

They are typically found in applications requiring high speed, fast response, low vibration, and compact size.

 

On stock series: 10 series, 12 series, 13 series, 15 series, 16 series, 17 series, 22 series coreless brushed DC motors. Voltage range from 5V to 12V.

Advantage: high power density, small moment intertia, quick start and stop, small size but high conversion efficiency. Easy to mount with micro planetary gear reducer.

 

We offer these DC coreless brush motor mainly for Military Industry and Precision Medical Instruments.

Micro Coreless Brushed DC Motors Key Features

1. Coreless (Ironless) Rotor

Uses a hollow, basket-shaped copper winding instead of an iron core.

Results in very low inertia, enabling extremely fast acceleration and deceleration.

2. Brushed Commutation

Simple electrical design using brushes and a commutator.

No ESC (electronic speed controller) required—just connect to a DC power supply.

3. Micro Size

Extremely compact, usually 4–20 mm in diameter.

Ideal for portable, battery-powered, or miniaturized devices.

 

Why Are Micro Coreless Brushed Motors Special?

✔ Fast Response & High Speed

Coreless design allows the rotor to spin rapidly with minimal lag.

✔ Smooth, Low-Noise Operation

No iron teeth → no cogging → stable rotation, ideal for precision movement.

✔ High Efficiency

Reduced weight and magnetic losses improve energy conversion.

✔ Lightweight & Compact

Perfect for micro devices where space and weight matter.

✔ Easy to Drive

Runs directly from DC power, no complex control electronics required.

 

Typical Applications

Micro coreless brushed DC motors are widely used in:

Drones (mini quadcopters)

RC toys and hobby models

Medical devices (pumps, surgical tools)

Wearable electronics

Micro pumps and micro fans

Camera autofocus and lens systems

Precision micro-robots

Electric toothbrushes and shavers

Portable instruments

 

Micro Coreless Brushed vs Other Motor Types

Motor Type Advantages Disadvantages
Micro Coreless Brushed Fast response, smooth, lightweight, simple control Brush wear, limited heavy-load capability
Micro Brushless (BLDC) Long life, high efficiency, no brushes Requires controller, higher cost
Micro Iron-Core Brushed Cheap, rugged More vibration, slower response, heavier

 

How Coreless Brushed DC Motors Work

DC power flows into the motor through the brushes.

Brushes transfer power to the commutator.

The coreless rotor coil becomes an electromagnet.

Magnetic interaction with the permanent magnets causes rotation.
