8- to 9-inch FPV motor

Axisflying AZ2812

A 2812 for 8-inch long range and cinematic builds: 76 g with wire, and 2710 g at full throttle on an HQ 9X4.5 at about 24 V.

  • 4S–6S
  • 8- and 9-inch props
Drawing the 3D model…

The spin is an illustration: the model turns at 1/600 of the no-load speed, and it is a generic 2812 motor drawn from Axisflying’s published sizes, not its exact design. Thrust, current and power are Axisflying’s bench figures for the HQ 9X4.5 prop at 24.01 V, read straight across between its throttle steps. Its data starts at 10% throttle.

What it pulls

Axisflying’s own bench test, one line per prop. Drag across the chart to move the throttle; the model above follows.

At 60% with the HQ 9X4.5: 1,275 g of thrust, 12.2 A, 292 W, 4.37 g per watt.

On your quad

16.7 : 1

Thrust to weight at full throttle: four motors pull 10,840 g with the HQ 9X4.5 at 24.01 V.

At 60% throttle they pull 5,100 g, 7.8 times the quad’s weight.

All-up weight is the quad ready to fly, with its battery and camera. The thrust is the maker’s static bench figure; in the air it is lower.

What you get for $16.90

  • For 8-inch

    Axisflying says the AZ2812's speed range is for 8-inch FPV, and lists it for long-range, heavy-lift and cinematic drones.

39.95 A at full throttle on an HQ 9X4.5 at about 24 V; 35.09 A on a GF 8040. (Axisflying test data)
Props
Axisflying tested a GF 8040 and an HQ 9X4.5; the HQ pulls more at every step, 2710 g against 2485 g at full throttle. (Axisflying test data)
Battery
4S–6S; the bench data is at about 24 V (6S). (Axisflying spec image, Axisflying test data)
Frame
Four M3 screws on a 19 mm circle; the holes are threaded through the base. (Axisflying drawing)

Bench data

Redrawn from Axisflying’s test reports. Thrust is static pull on a bench, more than you get in flight. Power is volts × amps; efficiency is thrust divided by power.

Inside the motor

A brushless outrunner: the coils stand still in the middle and the magnets spin around them. From the top down:

How fast it spins

KV is the motor’s no-load speed per volt. With nothing on the shaft, the 900KV version reaches about these speeds; a prop loads the motor and brings it down, typically to around 70–75% of these figures at full throttle.

BatteryVoltsNo-load rpm (KV × V)Electrical frequencyESC steps per second
4S nominal14.813,3201,554 Hz9,324
4S full16.815,1201,764 Hz10,584
6S nominal22.219,9802,331 Hz13,986
6S full25.222,6802,646 Hz15,876

A 14-pole rotor has 7 pole pairs, so every turn of the shaft is 7 electrical cycles, and a six-step ESC switches the phases 42 times per turn.

About the 3D model

A generic outrunner drawn from Axisflying’s published sizes: the 28 × 12 mm stator, 33 mm bell, 25.85 mm height, 5 mm shaft, 19 mm mounting circle and 12 teeth and 14 magnets. Anything Axisflying doesn’t publish is typical for a motor this size, and the bell’s spoked top, the base and the inside are a generic design, not this motor’s. The colours are read off the maker’s product photos. There are no logos or markings: it is our drawing, not the maker’s.
