• Robust and reliable design. The housing effectively removes heat from the windings. The motor is designed for continuous operation.

• Versatility for various tasks. Suitable for aerial photography, FPV flights and just pleasant walks. This is an engine for those who value stability and quality.

Operating principle and technical details

iPower GM4108 brushless motor works according to the classic principle for its class. Electrical energy from the battery is converted into mechanical rotation. It is based on the interaction of magnetic fields. The stationary stator contains windings made of copper wire. A rotor with neodymium magnets rotates around the stator, creating thrust.

The ESC controller supplies three-phase current, creating a rotating magnetic field. This field interacts with the magnets, causing the rotor to rotate. A low KV parameter (eg 500) indicates high torque. The motor picks up speed slowly, but creates a lot of force on the shaft. This force is ideal for turning large, low pitch propellers smoothly. This combination provides stable and efficient lift.

Specific functionality and technical characteristics:

• Standard size: 4108 (approximate stator diameter 41mm, height 8mm).

• Construction: External rotor (Outrunner).

• KV parameter: Low, usually in the range of 400-700 KV.

• Winding resistance: Low for high efficiency.

• Recommended voltage: 4S-6S LiPo (14.8V - 22.2V), depends on KV.

• Shaft type: Usually the shaft is 5mm or 6mm (M5/M6) for attaching propellers.

• Weight: Approximately 100-130 grams.

• Recommended Propeller: Large propellers 9-13 inches.

• ESC requirements: 20-40A stroke regulators supporting the appropriate voltage.

• Purpose: Large quadcopters (450-550mm), hexacopters, platforms for aerial photography.

This engine is a great choice for transitioning from racing drones to filming drones. It is suitable for the pilot who wants to build a stable camera platform.
