Durability of Brushless Electric Screwdrivers vs Standard Electric Screwdrivers

Designed for high production environments, electric screwdrivers with a high performance brushless motor design provides durability and reduces the standard maintenance costs for standard electric screwdrivers. Management in power tools ensures product quality, cost savings and a reduction in overall failures.

Standard Electric Screwdrivers (with Brushes)
These ordinary models use brushes and over time there’s wear on expandable parts (carbon brushes, commutators, switches and other contact points. The heat generated by the motor in brushed screwdrivers can shorten the operating life of the screwdriver. These screwdrivers require regular maintenance and part replacement, depending the amount operating time and environment it’s used in.

Brushless Electric Screwdrivers
Screwdrivers with brushless motors have an extremely long operating life with no need for regular maintenance or replacement of expendable parts (carbon brushes, rotor, switches and other contact points). Heat generated by the motor is reduced and screwdriver performance is always at the maximum level resulting in reliable product quality. The brushless screwdriver ensures product quality, cost savings and a reduction in overall failures.

Carbon Brushes
Carbon brushes are the first item replaced after 6 months (based on tightening of 5,000 screws per day). Approximately 0.6g of worn carbon granules are scattered inside the screwdriver case and into the air after each carbon brush replacement.

Carbon Brush		Carbon Brush Worn

Brush Screwdriver Expendable carbon brushes wear out, sending carbon powder through out the motor, in turn causing operating problems and reducing overall screwdriver performance. These screwdrivers require regular maintenance and part replacement.		Brushless Screwdriver With almost no expendable parts and simple design, the brushless screwdriver life cycle is extended and maintains a clean working environment. The screwdriver requires less maintenance and part replacement and provides consistently reliable performance.
