Product Details
Hyperion H3025 Outrunner Motor Series, for all Aircraft, but especially Helicopters such as Hirobo Lepton and HDX500 helicopters
H30 motors weigh 186 grams. They are as pictured above, including cast aluminum cooling fan and 3.5mm Gold connectors pre-soldered to the motor wires. Female 3.5mm connectors and shrink tube come included in the package along with 4 M3 screws. Note: Unlike the airplane-specific Z30 Hyperion motors, the H30 Series motors have both sets of mounting screw holes with 25mm spacing (Z30 have one set at 19mm spacing, one at 25mm). The most popular installations of the H30 motor is in the Hirobo Lepton Heli, with H3025-10 motor on 4S 3700-4200mAh battery and stock pinion gear. Some also use the H3025-08 in Lepton as a 3S motor, or on 4S with appropriate gearing. Both the 8T and 10T versions of the motor are also good for model airplanes, especially when extra cooling is a concern.
The new Z30 Series Hyperion Outrunners are big brothers to the immensely popular Z22 motors, and share their quality in materials and design. From front to back, only the highest quality materials and components are used. The arrangement of twelve stator poles and fourteen magnet poles is primarily responsible for the high torque the Z Series generates on direct drive. But there is much more to the "Z" than that. The stators are hand-wound in an optimal pattern for copper packing, so we get less resistance for a given number of turns. The stator plates are produced via a CNC process that insures uniformity, and made of a new silicon steel with superior permeability at high induction. The stator plates are finished with a lifetime anti-oxidant coating, to eliminate losses which can occur due to magnetic shorting from corrosion. The magnets are especially made for the Z Series motors, and are rounded on both bell and stator sides. The result it that contact area with the bell is complete, and this has two benefits: First, heat transfer is maximized, so the magnets are much less subject to damage from overheating.
Second, the full contact with the bell on one side, and matching curvature to the stator on the other, means that the magnetic flux lines are complete and optimally shaped; this means higher efficiency, lower incidence of motor stalling, and smoother starts. The magnets themselves are produced in one of the foremost factories in the world, and are the latest type, featuring both an extremely high temperature rating and high magnetic strength. They are retained by fingers in the bell-end, and attached with a special high-temp glue made for the Japanese space program. We think it's just about impossible to throw a magnet, or temperature de-mag these motors. Finally, the high-speed, shielded stainless bearings in the Z Series are made by NMB Japan; expensive for Hyperion to install, but well worth it for smoothness and longevity.
One thing you'll notice immediately about the Z30 series is the tapered nose. It isn't just pretty! There were two design objectives accomplished:
The extra length in the bearing tube means that the spacing between the three bearings is increased, which provides much needed extra support to the outer rotor. Motors without this feature tend to develop high-frequency vibration which can loosen magnets. Equally importantly, the tapered nose has an end diameter of only 28mm and a set of mounting holes with 19mm spacing, which allow it to mount in places similar-sized outrunners never could before. The wires also exit 12mm (~1/2") behind the motor face, which means that there is clearance for the wires even in tight glider fuselages. I was astonished to find that the Z3007 would easily fit in my Filip 400 motor glider, for example, without any drilling or cutting on the fuselage. At only 75 grams (3oz), the Z3007 weighs less than a Speed 400 motor but, at 25A on 3S lithium, powers the Filip 400 like a vertical bullet! The Z3007 will be available from late May. We tested the Z3025-08 in a 2M hotliner, too, and it was awesome at 60A peak in 10-second bursts.
