Motors - How Many Turns ?

[artful bodger]

hi all...

i need a bit of advice on motors; is a motor marked as 12 x 2 turns the same as a 12 turn motor ? ...i dont want to toast my ESC, or spend the money on what i think is a 12 turn motor but is actually a 24...

many thanks,

AB.

The first number is the turns, and the second number is the winds. A 12x2 brushed motor will have two individual pieces of wire wrapped around the armature together 12 times. A 12x1 is a single piece of wire wrapped 12 times. Both are 12 turns, but the 12x1 will have a thicker piece of wire with less resistance, and therefore produce more torque (and heat).

The wind number is also expressed as a "double", "triple", or even "quad" if there are 4 individual wires. Your 12x2 motor would be considered a 12 turn "double". These different winds help bridge the torque gap between the different low turn motors...

many thanks, that makes things a lot clearer...
