Servo Motor Types

Hi Group

I notice that there are encoders which also handle commutation on brushless motors. If one of these is used with a brushless motor, would it look like a brush motor from an electrical point of view, ie would it work with a Gecko drive.

With brush motors, is it crucial (for use with a Gecko) to use a permanent magnet motor, or would a motor with field windings work. If so, which type of connection is required for the field windings.


Thanks for your help.
