Scorpion HK-3226 motors have been developed
for the 500 class electric helicopters (425-450mm blade). These motors
are designed to provide all the power that you can use, while still
maintaining excellent efficiency and cool running characteristics.
Scorpion
HK Series Brushless Motors are built from the best materials available,
and are designed to provide both quality and performance at an
affordable price. Scorpion starts with high quality aluminum alloy parts
that are produced on the latest CNC milling machines. These parts are
then gold anodized to provide a beautiful, long-lasting finish. The
stators are made with 0.2mm laminations to give maximum efficiency, and
minimum Eddy current losses. The stators are epoxy coated to prevent
shorts. Unlike other motor manufactures that use off-the-shelf NdFeB
magnets with a maximum Curie temperature of 80 to 100 degrees C, our
motor magnets are custom manufactured to be able to withstand high
temperatures. The wire we use to wind the stators is rated to 180
degrees C (356 F), so it can take the heat and keep on performing.
All
Scorpion HK-3226 series motors come with 4mm male Bullet style
connectors already attached, and include a hardware package that
contains 3 matching female Bullet connectors for your speed controller
with matching heat shrink tubing. Since the HK series motors are
primarily designed for Helicopter and Ducted Fan use, they do not
include a prop adapter. If you intend on running a prop on this motor,
you will need to purchase a prop adapter for a 5mm shaft.
Scorpion
Motors are built to last, and are backed with a 2-Year warranty against
defects in materials or workmanship. However, due to the high RPM of
these motors, and the fact that we cannot control the installation and
setup, the bearings are not covered by the 2-Year warranty, nor is any
subsequent damage caused to the motor by a bearing failure. Bearings are
a normal wear item, and as such, need to be maintained and changed
periodically. For maximum life, make sure that a sufficient gap is left
between the pinion and main gear during motor installation to avoid
binding, and put a small drop of oil on each bearing every 5-6 flights.
It is the responsibility of the pilot to ensure that the bearings are
maintained properly.
