add a comment
The slotless stator design originated with the goal to deliver smooth-running performance and eliminate cogging, which is an unwanted characteristic especially in slower-running applications (less than 500 rpm). The absence of cogging is, in fact, the most-often cited reason for selecting a slotless brushless motor.

ElectroCraft RapidPower high-speed brushless motors feature ball-bearing construction, dynamically balanced rotors, low vibration and low audible and magnetic noise.
ElectroCraft RP17 Brushless Motor
By utilizing M-8 ceramic and rare-earth neodymium magnets, these BLDC motors provide the quick acceleration and consistent speed (up to 15,000 rpm) needed for applications such as centrifuges, fans and pumps. Sealed ball bearings and reduced torque ripple from skewed magetization also ensure a smooth operation at any speed.
They are compatible with all three-phase brushless DC motor amplifiers and have optional 500 or 1000cpr encoders.

Comparison of DC servomotors and brushless servomotors
ElectroCraft Handbook
The traditional permanent magnet DC servomotor has been the industry workhorse for many decades in highperformance servo drive applications. The primary reason for this is that the DC servomotor is very easy to control using adjustable DC voltage. A brief review of the operating principle of the DC motor illustrates this point (continued)…
