yes, they are brushless DC motors. below is a 256 line disc with grid size of 0.4mm. the encoder communicates with the control unit and second sensor e.g. at the platter. clock frequency ~65khz. The voltage is selectable 12-60 volt dc I think perfect for battery operation.Don’t these have brushes? I think they run straight off 24V DC. A BLDC needs to have some kind of commutation, like a sine wave, to work. Also, while some of these are slotless, they still have Iron in the stator and therefore aome torque ripple.
All these AC synchronous motors will have plenty of torque ripple that can only be smoothed by a belt but not eliminated.
The only motors with inherently almost no torque ripple are pancake coreless motors that are either brush or brushless. All the great Japanese (and German Dual) motors were of this type. Brinkmann now uses the same…even for their Nalance belt drive.
yes the dual eds 1000 motor is one of the best direct drives under 0.02%
