Brushless motors (BLDC motors) are widely used in industries, home appliances, power tools and other fields due to their high efficiency, stability and low maintenance. However, as the use time increases, the motor power may gradually decrease, resulting in reduced efficiency or even malfunction. In order to restore the power of the brushless motor, it is necessary to check and adjust from multiple aspects such as the working environment of the motor, the drive system, and the motor itself. X-TEAM will provide you with detailed diagnosis and solutions.
- Check the power supply
The power of the brushless motor is directly affected by the power supply. If the power supply voltage is unstable or insufficient, the output power of the motor may decrease. First check whether the power supply can provide a stable voltage and the voltage value meets the requirements of the motor. Especially for battery-driven systems, low battery power or aging of the battery will cause the voltage to decrease, thereby affecting the power output of the motor.
- Check the motor driver
The motor driver is the core component that controls the current and power output. If the driver fails, it may cause insufficient motor output power. Common driver problems include improper control parameter settings, overload protection activation, or driver damage. Check the working status of the driver to ensure that there are no error codes or overload indications, and adjust parameters or replace the driver as needed.
- Check the internal fault of the motor
Another common reason for the power drop of the brushless motor is the failure of the motor itself. Long-term operation will cause aging or damage to the motor coils, magnets, bearings and other components, which will affect the efficiency and power output of the motor. You can check the internal condition of the motor by the following methods:
1) Coil inspection: Use a multimeter to check the resistance of the motor coil to ensure that there is no open circuit or short circuit.
2) Magnet inspection: Check whether the permanent magnet of the motor has fallen off or magnetic attenuation.
3) Bearing inspection: Bearing wear will increase friction resistance, causing the motor speed to decrease, thereby affecting power.
- Clean the motor and drive system
Dust, dirt or foreign matter in the motor and drive system may affect the normal operation of the motor. Regularly cleaning the dust, oil and other dirt on the outside and inside of the motor will not only help improve the heat dissipation effect, but also reduce mechanical friction and improve the working efficiency of the motor. Ensure that the heat dissipation system of the motor is working properly to avoid power attenuation caused by overheating.
- Adjust the load and working environment
The power output of the brushless motor is closely related to the load and working environment. If the motor is running under heavy load or in a bad working environment (such as excessive temperature or humidity), the motor power may be reduced. Check whether the load of the motor exceeds the rated value and ensure that the motor is running in an appropriate working environment.
- Optimize control parameters
Most brushless motors are equipped with a regulating controller, which can adjust parameters such as current and speed according to different application scenarios. If the motor power is insufficient, it may be caused by improper control parameters. By adjusting the control parameters of the drive, such as maximum current, speed limit, etc., the motor power output can be improved and its normal performance can be restored.
The power drop of the brushless motor may be caused by multiple factors, including power supply problems, drive failure, internal damage to the motor, excessive load, etc. Through systematic inspection and maintenance, timely detection and resolution of these problems can effectively restore the power output of the motor. Regular maintenance, cleaning the motor, adjusting the control parameters and optimizing the working environment are important measures to ensure the long-term and efficient operation of the motor. Through these steps, you can extend the life of the motor, improve its performance, and ensure the stable operation of the equipment.
