I build small power that feels big. I build it clean. I build it quiet. I build it to last. I use a 6mm diameter slotless BLDC motor to make this real.
At Jimi Technology Co., Ltd., I turn electric power into straight line motion. I raise. I lower. I push. I pull. I tilt. You press a button. The job gets done. I am not just a seller. I am an expert. I am a solution maker. I am a guide you can trust in automation.
What is a 6mm Diameter Slotless BLDC Motor?
Let me make it simple.
- It is a miniature BLDC motor.
- It is a micro BLDC motor.
- It is a small brushless motor with brushless DC technology.
- It uses electronic commutation. No brushes. No sparks.
- It has a slotless design. The stator winding is ironless. That is why we say coreless BLDC motor.
- The rotor spins with neodymium magnets.
- A 6 mm body is tiny. This is miniaturization in action.
You get no-cogging motor feel. You get smooth rotation motor motion. You get high-speed micro motor reach. You get precision BLDC motor control. You get high efficiency BLDC duty.
I use it in fine tools. I use it in medical devices, robotics, aerospace, drones (UAVs), optics, endoscopy, and dental equipment. I use it in laboratory automation too. This is precision engineering in a tiny can.
Why Choose Slotless? Big Wins in a Tiny Space
You want calm motion. You want long life. You want power you can steer. Slotless gives you that.
- No Cogging Torque. With an ironless stator you feel no “step.” That gives reduced cogging torque and low ripple torque. You get smooth speed control at a crawl.
- High Efficiency. No iron teeth means lower iron loss. You get improved efficiency motor output.
- Low Noise. It runs as a low noise motor with quiet operation.
- High Power Density. This is a high power density motor in 6 mm.
- Long Life BLDC. No brushes to wear.
- Excellent Dynamic Performance. Low inertia of motor helps quick start and stop.
- Vibration reduction. That helps in haptics and optics.
- Clean builds. Ideal for cleanroom application motor needs.
- Sterilization ready options. I can guide sterilization compatible motor and autoclavable motor builds for surgical instruments. Use in autoclave with the right spec.

Key electric constants help design.

I map these to your load and your motor lifespan calculations. I size right from the start with a clear motor sizing guide.

How to Choose The Right 6mm Slotless BLDC
I ask a few clear questions first.
- What torque do you need. Continuous torque and peak torque both matter.
- What speed do you need. Set your speed (RPM) window and your no load target.
- What bus do you have. Set voltage and allowed current. Note your voltage requirements BLDC and current consumption micro motor limits.
- What run time do you need. Map duty cycle and cool time.
- What space and weight do you have.
- What environment do you face. Note ingress protection (IP rating), shock, and operational temperature range.
- Do you need sensorless BLDC control or Hall effect sensors or an encoder.
- Do you need a planetary gearhead 6mm.
- Do you need DC motor alternatives. I can weigh brushed vs brushless for you.
I then use a motor sizing guide. I pick a winding to fit your bus. I set Kv, Kt, back EMF, inductance, and resistance to hit your curve. I check mechanical time constant and electrical time constant for response. I check thermal resistance to keep heat in line. I do the motor lifespan calculations so you get years of calm use.
