Product overview
The T-MOTOR VL8015 KV170 is a large brushless propulsion motor intended for light-to-medium lift VTOL aircraft and multirotor UAVs. Its applications include industrial aerial work, mapping and medium payload transport. Integration centers on a 12S power system, with up to 14.8kg thrust per motor and suitability for a quadrotor with 25kg maximum takeoff weight. The product is a motor component for aircraft integration; its electronic propeller-locking function requires compatible ESCs to hold propellers during cruise and reduce drag.
The motor combines integrated centrifugal cooling with temperature-resistant internal materials for sustained operation. Its construction uses 180°C magnets, 220°C enameled wire and a 150°C stator coating; these are component-specific temperature figures. Mechanical details include imported 6901 bearings and a ≤10mg dynamic balance standard, supporting smooth rotation with low vibration. IPX5 protection adds resistance to rain, snow and humidity. Together, these features address thermal management, rotational behavior and weather exposure in the intended outdoor UAV applications.
