Product overview

The T-MOTOR A16-18S-KV54 modular propulsion system combines an A16-18S motor, an 18S FOC 260A ESC and an EFZ6324 folding carbon fiber propeller for agricultural drones. Recommended quadcopter configurations have a load capacity of 70~90kg and a take-off weight of 140~160kg. For hexacopters, the recommended load capacity is 150~180kg with a take-off weight of 210~240kg. Rated thrust is 35~40kg, efficiency is 8.7g/W at 38kg thrust, and maximum thrust is 74.5kg. System weight is 5970±2%g including wires and propeller.

The system has a 60mm tube size, a KV54 motor with a 155*23.5mm stator, and a 63 Inch (1600.2mm) propeller. Its 2000±5mm wiring comprises red and black 8#AWG power wires and 5P Teflon signal wires. Recommended batteries are 14~18S LiPo. The ESC has an 83V maximum voltage and a fixed 1100~1940us throttle range. PWM/CAN control and DRONE CAN, UAV CAN and CUBE CAN protocols are supported; no BEC is fitted. Peak current is 260A for a short time in an open environment at temperature ≤60℃. The system has IPX5 protection and a recommended ambient temperature range of -20~55℃.
