A2212 930KV Brushless Outrunner Motor

The A2212-KV930 is a brushless outrunner motor built for multirotor drones, quadcopters, hexacopters, and fixed-wing RC aircraft. Its three-phase, 120-degree winding and brushless commutation eliminate brush friction, which raises efficiency and extends runtime on a given battery compared with a brushed motor of similar size. The motor is rated at 930 KV, reaches a maximum efficiency of 80%, and draws 4–10 A in its maximum-efficiency band, with a short-term current capacity of 12 A for 60 seconds. At 10 V the no-load current is 0.5 A, and the motor is intended for 2S to 3S Li-Po packs.

It uses a 27.5 mm stator diameter with a 3.17 mm output shaft and measures approximately 30 mm in length. The prop nut is clockwise-threaded, and the motor can be run in either direction by swapping two of the three phase leads, so clockwise and counterclockwise props can both be accommodated. Typical uses include F450-class frames and similar multicopter builds. This A2212 930KV motor is a practical choice for builders who need a lightweight outrunner with predictable efficiency for sport flying, aerial photography platforms, and educational drone projects.
