In a sensorless brushless motor which does not have a position sensor for detecting a rotational position of a rotor, the rotational position thereof is detected by detecting the zero-crossing points of the counter electromotive forces induced in the stator windings of the rotor. A shaping signal obtained by detecting the zero-crossing point of each of the counter electromotive forces and a slant waveform signal generated in response to the shaping signal thus obtained are combined to form a trapezoidal waveform position signal, and an electric current of a trapezoidal waveform is supplied in response to the position signal thus obtained to the corresponding one of the stator windings, so that the electric current commutation of the stator windings can be performed smoothly. As a result, the motor can be practically driven with reduced vibration and noise generation.
