Product Overview

Precision QDD in a light body

The CubeMars AKE80-8 KV30 integrates a brushless DC motor with a planetary gearbox in a compact quasi-direct-drive package. With backlash of roughly 9 arcmin and a torque density near 52 Nm/kg, it delivers precise, responsive motion in a light 570 g body.

Grade-5 precision gears and an optimised winding process lower noise and temperature rise while extending service life, and a base with threaded and through holes allows flexible bidirectional mounting.
