Product overview
The T-MOTOR VL8018 KV180 is a propulsion motor for light-to-medium lift VTOL and multirotor UAV platforms, with applications including industrial aerial work, mapping and medium payload transport. Its electrical integration centers on a 12S power system, where maximum thrust reaches up to 17.6kg per motor. The stated aircraft application range is 30–32kg maximum takeoff weight for a quadrotor. Its 360° electronic propeller locking function requires compatible ESCs and holds propellers during cruise to reduce aerodynamic drag.
The motor combines centrifugal cooling with heat-resistant internal materials: 180°C magnets, 220°C enameled wire and a 150°C stator coating. These construction features address airflow and temperature rise during sustained operation. Its rotating assembly uses imported 6901 bearings and a ≤10mg dynamic balance standard to support smooth rotation with low vibration. IPX5 protection provides resistance against rain, snow and humidity. The temperature figures describe individual construction materials; the cruise locking function remains dependent on compatible ESC integration.
