Product overview
The T-MOTOR U7 Power Type UAV Motor KV490 is a propulsion component for multirotor integration, including DSLR-lifting and professional photography quadcopter or hexacopter builds. The supplied package contains one U7 motor and one hardware pack. Its Φ60.7×39.5mm body, 6mm shaft and 750mm cables define the main installation dimensions and wiring reach. Cable gauge is 16# AWG, and the recommended matching propeller is the T-MOTOR CF20*6. Motor weight is 258g excluding cables and 299g including them.
The KV490 motor uses a 12N14P configuration with 21mΩ internal resistance and supports 3-8S LiPo batteries. Idle current is 1.1A at 10V; maximum continuous current is 44A for 180S, with maximum continuous power specified as 500W. Six upward-bevelled side holes provide airflow and water- and sand-resistant features. Internal construction includes precision winding, 0.2mm silicon steel sheets and an oxygen-free copper coil with a 180C material tolerance. A special screw secures the stator and rotor, while bearing service life exceeds 1600 hours under trouble-free operation.
