Brushless, cordless rechargeable to dominate power tool market?

Brushless and brushed are often talked about in the design of power tools and consumer shopping, and they mainly refer to brushless motors and brushed motors. Currently, many domestic and international companies have adopted brushless motor combinations for their high-end products, as they offer advantages such as long life, power saving, small size, high performance and quietness.

The current development speed domestic 1-3 years will have a large number of brushless motor output, then there will be a large number of domestic various brands of brushless tools listed.

Foreign brands of brushless products, short-term price adjustment is unlikely, after all, the domestic brushless is too little. Global view will be in 3-5 years (the impact of domestic manufacturers and other factors) within the corresponding price adjustment, while the product line is also being updated.

But in the adoption of brushless from the performance, manufacturing and other perspectives there is still a gap, brushless motor development speed is still in the trough, most manufacturers do not have the ability to adopt the mainstream manufacturers of brushless, small and medium-sized power tools on the market, such as angle grinders, small toothless saws, crushers, etc. is still mainly brush AC motor.

Consumer end-users and machine manufacturers have also reacted to the brushless motor power tools price is more than double that of the brush, its controller is complex, later failure is more difficult to troubleshoot, and in the manufacturing and maintenance costs are high, brushless power tools are also higher than the brush power tools, about the noise is mainly from the operation of the mill, the saw, with the motor itself does not have a lot to do.

Power tools will undoubtedly move towards brushless, but there is still a long way to go before the brushless era.

However, in the adoption of brushless from the performance, manufacturing and other perspectives there is still a gap, most manufacturers do not have the ability to mainstream manufacturers to adopt brushless.

At present, China's annual production of power tools accounted for 80% of the world, of which cordless cordless tools accounted for 22% of the total, lithium batteries accounted for 66% of the mainstream brands panasonic (Fein), Festool (Festool), Bosch (Bosch), Patel (Black & Decker), DEWALT (DEWALT), Kotron tools, Maitai Bao, Hilite hiliti and Makita (Makita) and other companies, most of the high-end products using lithium batteries and brushless motor combination. Domestic brands are accelerating to catch up, such as Daiyu, Vickers and other comprehensive shift to lithium, quickly eliminating nickel-cadmium, and most other manufacturers also use lithium.

Coupled with the significant rebound in the real estate market and the rapid large-scale expansion of infrastructure in developing countries to improve the market demand of professional users, the market for cordless power tools is growing.

However, cordless power tools all need to be recharged and then used. Getting as much energy as possible from the battery, and then utilizing that energy as efficiently as possible, has become two key challenges for tool designers.

According to the analysis of the concentration of the domestic market for power tools is gradually increasing (eliminating more), but the quality of foreign capital is very strong, especially in technology, brand, management, sales channels and other aspects of the leading larger.

As a result of the recent sustained attention to power tools industry-wide product development, can be so that the development of power tools is now in the trough, the overall slowdown, the major mainstream electric tools manufacturers flagship products in the comprehensive replacement of lithium-ion power after several years of slow progress. Brushless motor in the iteration of 1 generation, 2 generations after the temporary difficult to see breakthroughs, brushless is still in the early stages of popularization.

At the same time realize that lithium batteries and brushless motors are the mainstream of the present and future development of power tool technology.

With the new technology and lifestyle changes, power tools gradually enter the brushless and cordless era.
