What's the Difference Between Tang and Conventional Commutators?
Tang and conventional commutators are two common types of commutators used in brushed motors. Each has its own advantages depending on the application.
Conventional Commutator:
- Stronger wire connections
- Better suited for high vibration and high RPM applications
- Typically more expensive due to additional manual assembly
Tang Commutator:
- Wire connections can be made during the winding process
- Typically lower manufacturing costs
- Improved designs can handle more demanding applications
