Sensorless motor on sensored esc

[burakol 462]

I know for a fact that you can run a sensored motor using a sensorless esc and I've tried it myself. However, the result I got is really undesirable in a sense that theres a lot of cogging in low power, as well as an obvious delay in motor response. 

Will I get the same result if I buy myself a sensorless motor? I dont want to throw this esc away, but I dont think running a sensored motor as sensorless will give me good results.

If you have a sensorless ESC, I don't think that it makes any difference if you have a sensored or sensorless motor as the ESC wouldn't know whether the sensor array is there and being ignored, or simply not there at all.

If you want to get a smoother, faster response, and you have a sensored motor already, would it not make more sense to get a sensored ESC to work with it?

I just have this one sensorless esc in my bin that I tried. I'm just running all stock TBLE02S esc and worked so far for my means in all my sensored motors. But when I tried the sensorless to my brushless motors, I was underwhelmed so I thought it might have something to do with the fact that the motors are sensored... but I know for a fact that it won't matter much since it is the esc who really controls the output to the motor...

If both sides aren't "sensored" and connected with a sensor wire, then the system will behaved as sensorless.  Cogging is an issue with sensorless.

That is why there is sensored to fix the problem you are having. Crappy response if not sensored.
