RC Car Action: Tech Know-How - Motor Timing Explained

GPS · Jan 17, 2014

If you have a sensored brushless power system, you’ve probably noticed timing marks on the end of the motor’s can. They indicate a range of stator/sensor timing that adjusts how the motor’s RPM builds throughout its powerband, and you can adjust the timing to suit running conditions. This article will explain basic brushless motor timing and aid you in adjusting for optimum motor performance.

THE BASICS
Brushless motors work due to a simple magnetic principle: opposite (different) magnetic poles attract and opposing (same) magnetic poles repel. This simple principle creates the rotational motion of the motor. The magnetic portion of the brushless motor consists of two parts, the rotor and stator. Of course, there are other components, including bearings, the circuit board, the end-bell, solder tabs, sensors, shims, etc., but we’ll concentrate on how the rotor and stator interact with each other while adjusting timing.
