Hello,
I am surprised by these results. You got peak efficiency at speeds which seems for me too high for a 24N28P motor. I also wonder that you (and the manufacturer) recommend not so big propellers. Particularly, the last reviewed motor XM4010TE-7 is recomended to be used in the range of 10-16V with a propeller of up to 12x10.
Currently I am using the quite similar NX-4008 motor: http://hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store...ter_Motor.html, rewound by myself to have Kv=500rpm/V. (It can be compared to your last reviewed XM4010TE-7.)
The power supply is not 3-4s as recommended (for the original Kv=620rpm/V), but 2s and I use really big propellers: Aeronaut CAM 16x13 and even 18.5x15 (on Easy Glider). It performs very well and I fly usually 1h25' with 2s 3.3Ah.

Can you test one of them (let's say XM4010TE-7) at 2s to find out the peakeff for 2s? Or even for 6V? (because my rewound NX-4008 with Kv=500rpm/V supplied at 8V can be compared with XM4010TE-7 at 6V)

Hi ViorelX

XM4010TE-7 @ 6V
6,01 V ; no load Io = 0,86 A ; 3853 rpm ; Peakeff 78,4%
taking Rm = 0,0920 ohm

Using Dualsky Calc 3.20 on XM4010TE-7 (motor #56)

On 2S you could go to APC 17x8E at limit 18A
But you are far away from Peakeff
You need also some cooling, because temperature is the major actor

On your rewound 4008 (Kv 500 rpm/V) what is your mesured ph-ph resistance ?

Hi Louis,
I got a ph-ph resistance of 85mOhms. If the motor is turned at about 3000rpm (with a lathe) a phase generate a 4.4V voltage and thus I determined a Kv of about 500rpm/V (actually, the lathe rpm may be of 2800rpm).
With the 16x13 propeller the static current consumption on full throttle is of 18A. After 1min of running the motor is still cold.
With the 18.5x15 propeller the motor takes 22A and warms up a bit after 1 min of run. It doesn't seem to me that it runs far away from the peak efficiency.
And, of course, I haven't had any problems with the heat inflight after long time running.

Hi ViorelX
Is your 4.4V peak (oscilloscope) or rms (AC DMM) ?

Not peak, I measured the rms value by a digital multimeter.

Neodymium grade

Great review, thank you.

What is the grade of neodymium? In for example XM5015TE-3.

Hi
Hereunder is the reply coming from Dualsky HQ Shanghai after my asking:
The magnets for TE series are N42SH, the temperature grade is 150°C

And here, at K&J Magnetics, are a couple of pages that present some handy specs for the various grades of magnets:

Neodymium Magnet Physical Properties - http://www.kjmagnetics.com/specs.asp

Pull Force and Surface Field Data - http://www.kjmagnetics.com/magnetsummary.asp

I can't vouch for the honesty or accuracy of all the info but to those of us that know little, it seems more interesting than knowing less...
