Where Can I Find High Speed Electric Motors Over 10000RPM and 0.2 N*m?

Click For Summary

Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around finding high-speed electric motors that operate above 10,000 RPM with a torque rating of at least 0.2 N*m. Participants explore various sources and types of motors suitable for this specification, including applications in remote control (RC) vehicles and hard drives.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory
  • Technical explanation
  • Debate/contested

Main Points Raised

  • One participant seeks information on manufacturers of electric motors that exceed 10,000 RPM and 0.2 N*m torque.
  • Another suggests that hard drive motors may operate within this speed range but expresses uncertainty about their torque capabilities and how to acquire them.
  • A participant claims to possess brushless DC motors that can reach speeds of over 50,000 RPM, noting their use in RC airplanes and the need for a digital speed controller.
  • The same participant inquires about the manufacturer of the high-speed motors they mentioned.
  • Another participant provides a link to a motor manufacturer and mentions having experience with Himax motors, describing them as high quality but expensive, while also noting the availability of cheaper Chinese alternatives.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants do not reach a consensus on specific manufacturers or models of high-speed motors, and there are multiple competing views regarding the types of motors available and their specifications.

Contextual Notes

Some claims about motor specifications, such as torque and speed capabilities, remain unverified, and there is uncertainty regarding the acquisition of specific motors mentioned.

I'm looking for a electric motor that works at speeds higher then 10000RPM and 0.2 N*m. Which companies manufacture such high speed motors?
 
Engineering news on Phys.org
I don't know for certain, but some hard drives have motors in that speed range. Unfortunately I don't know any specifics on how to obtain one without obtaining it yourself. (ie. deconstruction)

Also I am not sure how much torque a hard drive motor is capable of. Good place to start though!
 
10,000 RPM is nothing, I have a few brushless DC motors capable of 50,000 or more (depending on load) and they have high-torque too. They work at about 12 volts and draw 15 amps continuously. Weigh under 80 grams too. I use them for RC airplanes.

The trick is you need a digital speed controller for these, you can't just supply a potential.

What is the manufacturer name of those motors?
 
There are lots.

I had 1 Himax and they're good quality but expensive. There are also some Chinese brands that work well and are much cheaper. Have to wait 2 weeks for shipping though.
