AmpFlow high-performance A28 motors are designed to give the highest level of performance possible in a brushed DC motor. This is achieved by advanced design and the use of neodymium rare-earth magnet material.		New fan-cooled A28 motors are designed for applications that require longer duty cycles and even higher power outputs. Low profile leads enable more compact installations. Available for 24V and 48V.
The mid-range F30 motors are designed for the highest performance and efficiency while still using the less expensive ferrite magnets.		The economy E30 motors are designed to give good performance at the lowest possible price.

All motors on this page are available with the optional AmpFlow speed reducer.

Custom motors are available with a minimum order of 25 units.

* The above specifications are for 24V. The motors can also be used at 12V or 18V. The RPM is proportional to the voltage so running at 12V will result in half the no-load RPM that is shown above for 24V. The lower voltage also reduces the maximum achievable torque by 50%. The motors have also been tested and used at higher voltages resulting in higher RPM, torque, and power. Shorter duty-cycles are recommended for higher voltages to allow the motors time to cool. Please note that the above torque figures are the theoretical peak torques when stalled. Operating any high-performance motor while stalled will damage it.

NEW! Fan-cooled motors

The fan-motors have ventilation holes in the front and rear aluminum plates to allow for flow-through cooling. The holes in the front plate are positioned so they are not blocked when mounting the motor to a flat surface. These motors also feature low-profile motor leads for better fit into smaller spaces.

* Theoretical peak power is 11.5 HP. Power at the recommended short-term current limit of 200A is 9.1 HP.
** The current required to reach 7260 oz-in is far outside the safe operating limits of this motor. This figure is theoretical and should be used for comparative purposes only.

VEX High-Voltage Motor Controller

We recommend using the IFI VEX 48V motor speed controller with our 48-volt motors. Visit this page for more details.

Efficiency

Getting high efficiency from a low-voltage motor is not easy. There are many factors that effect efficiency. We have optimized each of these factors to achieve very high efficiency in these motors.

As you can see from the above charts, the efficiency of the motors is very high over a broad range of power.

Sprockets and Keys

The 1/2-inch bore of our standard sprocket fits all our 3-inch motors. The sprocket has 9 teeth and it works with #35 roller chain. It comes with a 1/8-inch key.

Applications

The A28-150 and A28-400 motors are popular choices in cablecams, camera cars, POV camera rigs, zipline cameras, camera control platforms, and motorized cable cams.

Our pancake motors or standard motors are typically used in motorized bicycles and scooters. But if you have the right gearing and you can allow a little extra time for motor cooling, our high-performance motors can result in a wild ride!

Here are our recommendations regarding the selection of a proper reduction ratio.
