Product overview

The T-MOTOR U8 Lite KV100 is a DC brushless motor for industrial multirotor UAVs used in surveillance, cruising, security protection and mapping. Its construction combines custom imported silver-wire windings, directly routed coil leads that reduce soldered connections, and curved magnets with a smaller gap. A dust screen excludes foreign particles larger than 1mm while improving heat dissipation. The motor measures 87.1mm in diameter and 27.05mm in height, with a 15mm shaft and a 36N42P slot/pole configuration.

Rated for a 12S LiPo supply, the KV100 motor weighs 238g including its 90mm leads and accepts recommended propeller sizes of 27–28 inches. Maximum thrust reaches 8.7kg with a T-MOTOR NS28*9.2-inch carbon-fiber propeller. With 28CF propellers, recommended total aircraft weights are 14kg for four rotors, 21kg for six and 28kg for eight. Electrical specifications include 0.7A no-load current at 18V, 170±5mΩ phase-to-phase resistance, 29.3A maximum current for 180s and 370W maximum continuous power.
