WHAT IS A BRUSHLESS MOTOR AND WHAT DOES IT MEAN FOR MY TOOL?
Brushless motors are prominent in power tools on the market today and this is the case for Bosch Professional’s innovative BITURBO Brushless range. As the name suggests, it uses a brushless motor, but what is a brushless motor? How does it work? And why should you make the jump to using one?
TRADITIONAL DC BRUSHED MOTORS
For a power tool to function, a motor is designed to convert electrical power into mechanical motion. Traditional direct current (DC) motors contain carbon brushes which are in permanent contact with other components within the motor in order to function. However, the drawback is these brushes generate friction and heat. This results in a loss in energy efficiency, reduced power and wear over time. Naturally, this means there is a need for maintenance or even replacements.
BRUSHLESS MOTORS
Brushless motors do not require the use of carbon brushes. Therefore, there is no friction within the motor. This means that they require less maintenance and provide more power. Tools can run longer per charge and can have up to twice the lifespan of a traditional DC motor. In the case of Bosch Professional’s BITURBO Brushless range, motors are designed to boost power even further by using larger, high-powered motors that utilise higherstrength neodymium magnets and larger fans to maximise airflow.
OUR BEST PERFORMING 18V COMBI.
If you’re looking for a powerful cordless Combi Drill that delivers both strength and control, look no further than the Bosch Professional GSB 18V-150 C.
With a maximum torque of 150Nm, it performs solidly for any screwing, drilling, or impact drilling task that it may face in a number of materials including wood, metal, and masonry.
But it’s not just powerful, this cordless combi has a few clever tricks up its sleeve. Its ingenious Electronic Angle Detection ensures that long screws are always kept at the right angle, and for tasks that require hole saws, switchable KickBack Control reduces the risk of a sudden rotational torque reaction. To top this off, a metal chuck and gearbox help to ensure impressive reliability and robustness when it matters most.
So where does all this power come from? The GSB 18V-150 C is part of Bosch Professional’s BITURBO Brushless range; a range known for its revolutionary performance. This groundbreaking technology is made up of two key components, a brushless motor and the ProCORE18V battery system. The brushless motor reduces the friction of moving parts within the tool’s motor, this not only extends the life of the tool but also increases power output. This feature is then powered by ProCORE18V batteries, Bosch’s most innovative 18V battery platform yet.
These impressive batteries combined with a brushless motor, make BITURBO Brushless the impressive and powerful technology that drives tools like the GSB 18V-150 C to the next level. A Combi Drill that truly sets a new standard in performance.

SHOULD YOU BE USING BRUSHLESS TOOLS?
There are still plenty of tools on the market that use traditional DC motors and quite a few of these would be an asset to your toolkit – especially at a lower cost. However, if you find yourself working on more demanding tasks, brushless tools are more than ready for the challenge.
Spending more money on a tool is well worth it, especially when there is less need for maintenance or replacement over time. Brushless technology is fast becoming standard in the market and there are now plenty of entry-level tools that offer similar levels of power and performance when compared to their heavy-duty counterparts. The Bosch Professional GSB 18V-55 Combi Drill is a great example of this. With a strong metal chuck and a brushless motor, this combi generates a powerful 55 Nm of torque and the machine is suitable for working in multiple materials including wood, metal, and brick.
BITURBO BRUSHLESS TECHNOLOGY
Bosch Professional has developed an innovative solution for demanding jobs onsite with their range of BITURBO Brushless tools, designed to provide extreme power when it’s most needed. They achieve this by combining two key elements: a high-performance brushless motor and the high-powered Bosch ProCORE18V Professional Battery System. These two parts have been engineered to work perfectly together and maximise each other’s performance.
The high-performance brushless motor makes full use of Bosch’s ProCORE18V battery system. Designed to drive and maintain the higher currents needed for power-hungry applications, these advanced batteries feature Bosch’s COOLPACK 2.0 technology. This uses intelligent heat management for greater power and runtime, while extending battery life by preventing damage from overheating.
The combination of powerful motors and long-lasting batteries enables tools to work to their full potential, this means BITURBO Brushless technology can match the performance of their equivalent corded tools.
