Product overview
The T-MOTOR VL8022 KV170 is a propulsion motor for VTOL and multirotor UAV platforms used in industrial aerial work, mapping and medium payload transport. Optimized for 12S power systems, it delivers up to 22.2kg of thrust per motor and is specified as suitable for a quadrotor UAV with a 40kg maximum takeoff weight. Its 360° electronic propeller locking system works with compatible ESCs to hold the propellers during cruise flight, reducing drag and improving aerodynamic efficiency.
The motor combines centrifugal cooling with 180°C magnets, 220°C enameled wire and a 150°C stator coating to manage heat during sustained operation. These temperature figures describe the materials, rather than an ambient operating range. Its construction includes a ≤10mg dynamic balance standard and imported 6901 bearings, while IPX5 protection provides resistance to rain, snow and humidity. The recommended VL8022 VTOL Propulsion Kit pairs the motor with a V150A ESC and a VZ29×11 propeller for medium-lift VTOL platforms.
