Brushless Direct Current Motor (BLDC) is a type of motor commonly used in a variety of devices and applications, such as drones, power tools, and home appliances. To detect the quality of DC brushless motors, the following methods can be used:
1. Appearance inspection: First check the appearance of the motor to ensure that there is no obvious damage, crack or deformation of the motor housing. Check that connectors, wires, etc. are intact.
2. Measure resistance: Use a digital multimeter (DMM) to measure the resistance between the motor phase lines. For a three-phase BLDC motor, the resistance between the phase lines should be roughly equal. If the resistance value is abnormal, the internal coil of the motor may be damaged.
3. Measuring Hall sensors: BLDC motors are usually equipped with Hall sensors to detect the position of the rotor. Use a digital multimeter to measure the output voltage of the Hall sensor. For each Hall sensor, there should be different output voltages when the rotor is in different positions. If the output voltage is abnormal, the Hall sensor may be damaged.
4. Measure the motor voltage: Use a digital multimeter to measure the voltage of the motor power line. Under normal operating conditions, the voltage should be consistent with the nominal voltage of the power adapter or battery. If the voltage is abnormal, the power line may be damaged or the motor internal fault.
5. Measure motor current: Use a current clamp meter or current probe to measure the working current of the motor. Under normal working conditions, the current should be within a reasonable range and change with the load and speed. If the current is abnormal, it may be an internal fault of the motor or an improper driver setting.
6. Measure the motor speed: Use the tachometer or mobile APP and other tools to measure the motor speed. Under normal operating conditions, the speed should match the drive Settings. If the speed is abnormal, it may be an internal fault of the motor or an improper driver setting.
7. Monitoring sound: Under normal working conditions, the DC brushless motor should emit a smooth and low running sound. If you hear abnormal sounds (such as sharp noise, friction, etc.), it may be an internal failure of the motor or bearing wear.
8. Operation test: Connect the motor with the driver and power on to observe the operation of the motor. Under normal working conditions, the motor should be able to start, accelerate and stop smoothly. If the motor is running abnormally, it may be an internal motor failure or improper driver setup.
Through the above detection methods, the quality of the brushless DC motor can be preliminarily judged. Such as
To detect the quality of the DC brushless motor, the following methods can be taken:

Observe the running state: During operation, observe whether the rotation of the motor is smooth and whether there is abnormal noise or vibration. If the motor is running unstable or there is an abnormal phenomenon, it may indicate that there is a problem with the motor.
Measuring resistance: Use a multimeter or resistance meter to measure the winding resistance of the motor. Under normal circumstances, the resistance between the phase windings should be equal. If the resistance value of a phase is significantly different from the other phases, it may indicate that there is a problem with that phase.
Check winding connection: Check whether the connection of the motor winding is firm, whether there is loosening or poor contact. Loose or poor contact may cause the motor performance to decline or not work properly.
Measuring Hall sensor output: DC brushless motors typically use Hall sensors to detect rotor position. Use an oscilloscope or a digital multimeter to measure the waveform and frequency of the output signal of the Hall sensor to ensure its normal operation.
Check the drive circuit: DC brushless motors usually need to cooperate with the drive circuit to work properly. Check the power supply of the driver circuit, whether the control signal is correct, and whether the driver chip is working normally.
