Product overview
The T-MOTOR VL1032 KV180 is a UAV propulsion motor rated at 180 RPM/V for a 12S LiPo supply. It combines a 24N28P configuration with centrifugal cooling and IPX5 protection. The motor measures 109.6 mm in diameter by 56 mm and weighs 1090 g including its 150 mm enameled-wire lead. Its construction includes a 6901 bearing and a rotor dynamic balance specification of ≤15 mg. Electrical ratings include a 200 A peak current and 3500 W continuous power specified for 180 seconds, with an ambient operating range of −30°C to 55°C.
The propulsion configuration pairs the motor with a V200A ESC and G30 × 10.5-inch propeller. The ESC supports PWM/CAN control, DRONE CAN/UAV CAN protocols and electronic propeller locking, with a maximum voltage of 60 V. Its 120 A continuous and 220 A peak current ratings depend on heat dissipation conditions; the peak rating applies for 10 seconds. The propeller measures 762 × 266.7 mm and weighs 97 ± 5 g per blade. Reference bench runs use the V200A 14S identifier, distinct from the motor's 12S rating. The recorded 77°C motor-bell temperature applies after 10 minutes at 75% throttle on 44.4 V in a 25°C ambient environment.
