  • Product Description
  • I. Product Overview

    This is a low-voltage, high-torque brushless DC motor with a gearbox, specifically designed for applications such as electric tricycles, sanitation vehicles, and small industrial equipment. It features a horizontal base‑mounting configuration and supports a wide voltage range of 48V/60V/72V, with power ratings from 1.0 to 3.0 kW, making it an ideal drive solution for low-speed, heavy‑load scenarios.

    II. Core Specifications and Parameters

    1. Basic Electrical Parameters

    Parameter item Specification Range Explanation
    Rated voltage DC 48V / 60V / 72V (customizable) Compatible with lead-acid and lithium battery packs, supporting direct drive from the battery bus.
    Rated power 1.0 kW / 1.5 kW / 2.0 kW / 3.0 kW Covers a range of load requirements; the higher the power, the greater the torque.
    Rated current Approximately 20–60 A (at 72 V) The higher the power, the higher the operating current; therefore, the wire gauge and controller must be matched accordingly.
    Efficiency ≥85% Brushless design plus gearbox optimization deliver high overall efficiency and low energy consumption.
    Insulation Class Class F (temperature resistance 155°C) Suitable for prolonged continuous operation and resistant to overheating.

    2. Mechanical and Performance Parameters

    Parameter item Typical value Explanation
    Reduction ratio 1:5 to 1:20 (commonly 1:10 or 1:15) The motor’s rotational speed is significantly reduced after deceleration, while the torque is proportionally increased.
    Rated speed of the main body 3000~4500 rpm The brushless motor itself operates at a high speed; after deceleration, the output speed is reduced.
    Rated output speed 300–600 rpm (common) Suitable for low-speed, heavy-load applications, such as tricycle hill climbing and equipment towing.
    Rated output torque 10–30 N·m (increases with power and reduction ratio) Peak torque can reach 2 to 3 times the rated value, meeting the demands of startup and hill-climbing.
    Output shaft diameter 16–22 mm (with keyway / spline) Adapter sprocket/coupling installation; the figure shows a standard shaft end with nut‑type locking.
    Protection rating IP54 Dustproof and splash-proof, suitable for outdoor use and humid, dusty workshop environments.
    Work system S1 (Continuous Operation) Supports long-term operation under load and is compatible with applications such as sanitation vehicles and three-wheeled vehicles.

    III. Structure and Design Features

    1. Integrated design of brushless motor and gearbox
     
    1. The front stage is a DC brushless motor housed in an aluminum alloy heat‑dissipating enclosure, equipped with built-in cooling fins to prevent overheating during prolonged operation. The rear stage features a planetary or gear reduction gearbox that significantly lowers the output speed while amplifying torque, delivering low‑speed, high‑torque performance. The entire unit is mounted on a horizontal base, making it suitable for installation on tricycle rear axles and small equipment frames.
    2. Low-Voltage, High-Current Adaptation Design
     
    1. It features thick‑gauge windings and high‑current terminals, supporting direct battery‑bus power supply to minimize voltage drop; it is compatible with 48/60/72 V electric vehicle and sanitation‑vehicle controllers, offering simple wiring and convenient retrofitting and maintenance.
    2. High reliability and durability
     
    1. Brushless design eliminates brush wear, delivering a service life far exceeding that of conventional brushed motors; the gearbox features high-strength gears, supporting frequent start‑stop cycles and heavy‑load uphill operation; the aluminum alloy housing offers excellent corrosion resistance and heat dissipation, making it ideal for outdoor use and harsh operating conditions.

    IV. Typical Application Scenarios

    • Electric Vehicles: Power Systems for Electric Tricycles, Sanitation Vehicles, Low-Speed Sightseeing Cars, and Mobility Scooters
    • Industrial equipment: small conveyor lines, traction machines, agricultural machinery, material handling equipment
    • Modification scenarios: electric vehicle power upgrades, small construction machinery modifications, and power system retrofits for power tools.

    V. Precautions for Use and Selection

    1. Controller matching : It must be paired with a DC brushless controller that matches the specified voltage and power; it supports Hall‑effect signal feedback, otherwise it will not operate properly.
    2. Power Supply and Wiring : A battery pack matching the motor’s voltage must be used (e.g., a 72 V motor paired with a 20‑cell lithium‑ion pack or six 12 V lead‑acid batteries); the motor phase wires are thick (yellow, blue, and green in the diagram) and should be connected to high‑current terminals to prevent overheating due to loose connections.
    3. Load and Operating Conditions : The larger the reduction ratio, the greater the torque, but the lower the maximum vehicle speed; select accordingly based on actual requirements. Avoid prolonged stall or overload operation, as this can cause the motor and controller to overheat and burn out.
    4. Installation and Maintenance : Ensure concentricity between the output shaft and the load to prevent eccentric vibration from damaging the bearings; regularly replenish the gearbox with grease to extend the service life of the gears.
