Product overview
The Ascend Kunpeng S8 combines an S8 motor, a 14SFOC80A ESC and a TS30 propeller in an integrated propulsion system for UAV thrust applications. It delivers a maximum thrust of 16 kg, with a recommended takeoff weight of 5–7 kg per axis and an efficiency of 10.0 g/W at 5 kg. The system accepts 12S–14S lithium batteries and fits carbon tubes with a 40 mm outside diameter. Weight, including cables and propeller, is 1020 g ±2%.
The motor measures Φ87.5 × 41.5 mm and has a KV rating of 115. Power connections use red and black 14# AWG cable, while the 800 ±5 mm signal cable uses 5P Teflon wire. The ESC supports PWM/CAN control, a fixed 1050–1950 μs throttle range and a maximum voltage of 60 V. Its maximum continuous current is 30 A and peak current is 80 A in an open environment at temperatures ≤60°C. The system operates from −20°C to 55°C and carries an IP36 protection rating.
The supplied TS30 propeller uses a φ30 mm bolt circle with four M3 fasteners. After flight, the folding propeller can be secured with a propeller strap. If dirt, sand or gravel enters the motor during use, rinse it with clean water and leave it for one hour to dry surface moisture before using it again.
