Brushless motor has some advantages as same as DC brush motor and remove brush and commutator to make no mechanical contacts. Magnets are rotate instead of motor coil.
Semiconductor (hall elements or hall IC) and driver board detect rotor position then changes current to the motor coil to run the brushless motor.
The most valuable characteristics of brushless motor are longer life, higher speed and less electrical noise because there are no electrical contacts even if motor driver is required.
