X8 - UAV Propulsion System | Drone Motor with ESC

Integrated propulsion, ready to use

Integrated propulsion solution with integrated motor, ESC, blade
and motor holder helps for easy installation and usage. A tube
diameter converter (φ40mm) can be purchased separately.
The standard 30-inch folding propeller is suitable for
5-7kg single-axis load, and up to 15kg thrust force.

The power of integration

The optimization of the PMSM algorithm Based on FOC
Creates the perfect power system

PMSM has a larger power density. lower noise, smaller in size and smaller moment of inertia
and pulsation compared to BLDC. The advantages of small moment and high control accuracy
are based on the PMSM optimization calculation of FOC (Field Oriented Control) method for
the ESC, motor and propeller for a strict and perfect match. This results in the motor
and the propeller to be more balanced, and a power system with high stability, reliability and efficiency.

Smarter and more compatible

Intelligent multiple redundant protection, real-time output of operating data

The X8 power system is equipped with several protection functions such as: Power-on self-test, Power-on voltage abnormal protection,Current protection and Stall protection.It is able to output an operating status data to the flight controller in real time including; input throttle amount, response throttle volume motor speed, bus voltage, bus current, phase current, capacitor temperature and MOS tube temperature, etc. This allows the flight controller to grasp the electronics in real-time during operation to improve the flight performance and efficiency. It improves the overall system reliability.
Note: Using the Hobbywing DataLinkBox data acquisition memory (Note: need to be purchased separately) can simultaneously collect the real-time operation data of the 8-channel power system, and pass it to the flight controller through the bus interface to form a closed-loop control system.

Super protection, easy to cope with the harsh environment of plant protection

The X8 propulsion system is IPX6 waterproofing rated and has drainage channels for liquids and debris.
Note: Patented design. Rinse with water directly after usage without any problem. It is able to
cope working in harsh environment such as in the rain, pesticide salt spray, high temperature, sand, and dust.

High lift, high efficiency propeller

The 3011 propeller is injected molded form high-strength special carbon fiber reinforced nylon composite material.
It is strong and has a lightweight paddle body to provide good consistency and superior
dynamic balance characteristics. The aerodynamic shape optimized by experts, together
with the electromagnetic design of the motor optimized for the propeller, and the
efficient FOC (field-oriented control, commonly known as sine wave drive) algorithm,
makes the entire power system advantages in lift and force efficiency.

Thermal optimization

High-brightness LED display light, at a glance

The X8 integrated power system comes with a ultra-bright LED display light.
The user can set the light color or turn off the display light.
The display light can prompt the working status information
of the power system, issue an early warning signal when it
is abnormal, and improve the safety factor of the system.

Robust and reliable, extremely impact resistant

The use of high-strength aluminum alloy material precision processing optimizes
structural design and strengthens the protection of the motor components.
The motor will be extremely strong, and anti-fall impact ability reduces
the probability of any failure due to the impact of the fall. The deformation
structure and cannot be used. Internal reinforced beam structure; Three
interlocking structures; Super impact resistance

Modular design, easy maintenance

Modular design, when the power system is damaged, customers can quickly replace the integrated system (ESC + motor),
paddle blade (single piece or pair), paddle clip. The maintenance time is shortened and it improves work efficiency.

Support system upgrades

Hobbywing allows you to update your ESC to the latest firmware and synchronize it using a computer via the Hobbywing
DataLinkBox software (Note: need to be purchased separately) at all times. Excellent heat dissipation conditions are required
