Abstract
A wiper system including a brushless DC electric motor having a rotor, a stator having coils for electromagnetically exciting the rotor, a device for determining the angular position of the rotor with respect to the stator, a control unit configured to generate control signals for supplying power to the electromagnetic excitation coils according to the angular position of the rotor determined by the device for determining the angular position of the rotor, a reduction gear mechanism linked, on one side, to the rotor of the electric motor and, on the other side, to an output shaft that is intended to be linked to an external mechanism. The rotor includes at least one Hall effect sensor associated with a control magnet that rotates with the rotor and the gear motor also having a processing unit connected to the device for determining the angular position of the rotor.
