Product overview
The HOBBYWING M8108 HighProt is a propulsion motor for industrial multirotor UAVs, available in 85KV and 100KV versions. Its outer rotor construction uses a precision CNC-machined 7075-T651 aluminium support and a seamless-steel housing with nickel plating and electrophoretic treatment. The support and shaft form an integrated assembly, while three M2.5*8 fasteners and washers secure the shaft tail. Centrifugal cooling in the rotor support and cooling fins in the stator base aid heat dissipation. The enclosed structure carries an IP45 protection rating.
Both versions measure Φ87.1*H26.9mm and use a 4×M4@D36 motor mounting pattern, with a combined propeller mounting-hole specification of 4×M4@D23+4×M3@D20. Each has 100mm, 16AWG leads; motor weights including wires are 270g for 85KV and 271g for 100KV. Recommended propulsion combinations use 12S LiPo power, MSC 28x9.2, MSC 29x9.5 or MSC 30x9.8 propellers, and an XRotor Pro H60A 14S controller. The recommended application range is 2.5~3.5kg thrust per rotor, corresponding to a quadrotor maximum takeoff weight range of 10.0~14.0kg.
Electrical and thrust limits differ between versions: the 85KV motor has a maximum current of 27.2A and maximum thrust of 7.2kg, compared with 34.3A and 9.3kg for 100KV. The maximum-current ratings apply in a non-enclosed environment at an ambient temperature of ≤25°C. Both versions have a rated maximum continuous output of 238W. Winding insulation receives a 500V AC withstand test; the enamelled wire has a 220°C grade and the magnets a 180°C grade. These component temperature grades describe the respective materials.
