With a 2200 RPM/V rating, this A2212 2200KV Brushless DC Motor drives high-speed FPV racing drones. Under a 3S LiPo load, the coils draw up to 12A current. Compared to the 200W predecessor, this unit pushes 342W of peak power and increases rotation speed significantly.
Key Features
- 2200 KV Rating: 2200 RPM per volt for high-speed FPV racing. Spins faster for aggressive flight maneuvers.
- Outrunner Design: 27.5x30 mm external rotor for efficient cooling. Heat dissipates quickly even in humid air.
- 2S-3S LiPo Support: Operating voltage range from 7.4V to 11.1V. Use 3S batteries for maximum thrust.
- 3.17mm Shaft Diameter: Hardened steel output shaft fits standard prop adapters. It resists bending during prop strikes.
- 12A Max Current: Peak current draw rated for 60-second bursts. Exceeding this limit melts the windings.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the thrust of A2212 2200KV motor?
With a 6x4 propeller on 3S LiPo, this motor generates about 740g of thrust. Larger propellers increase current draw beyond the 12A safety limit.
Which ESC is best for 2200KV motor?
A 30A ESC provides the necessary thermal headroom for this motor's 12A draw. Using a 20A ESC risks controller failure during sustained full-throttle flight.
