Difference between BLDC motors and Brushless Servo Motors

[suman]

Hi
   I am new to the concept of motors and motor control. I dont know if I have come to the right place but it would be great if anyone can help me in finding out the differences between Brushless DC motors and Brushless Servo motors. Can I use NI motion controllers to control a Brushless DC motor?

Regards,
Suman.

Suman,

Brushless DC motors and Brushless Servo motors mean typically the same thing. The word "servo" implies that a position feedback resource (e. g. a quadrature encoder) is used for closed loop control.

You can use NI motion controllers to control brushless motors. Please refer to this thread in the forums for more information.
