① Brushed High-Speed Motors: Generally, they have good airtightness. Equipped with brushes, they feature high efficiency, strong overload and hill-climbing capabilities, and large starting torque, but produce slight noise.


② Brushless Motors: Without brushes or reducers, they have the advantages of maintenance-free operation and no noise. However, their controllers are complex and they have large starting currents. Currently, this type is commonly used.


③ Brushed Low-Speed Motors: With brushes but no reducers, they have a simple structure and low cost. However, they have low efficiency and poor hill-climbing and overload capabilities.
