General Information:

The Torcman TM 430 series motors are designed for high power applications, addressing input power anywhere between 700 and 2000 Watts. The very robust motors have been in the field for many years now. They are typically used in large Scale- and Acro- and Towing- models as well as in gliders and helicopters (60-90 sizes).

The TM 430 series motors are available in 3 different sizes addressing different applications :

TM430-20 for Input power up to 1000 Watts

TM430-30 for Input power up to 1500 Watts

TM430-40 Triton for Input power up to 2000 Watts

While there is a choice to make between 10 and 14 poles motors for the TM430-20 and TM430-30, the TM430-40 Triton is only available in a 10 poles version. We will refer to them as 10pole or 14pole in this document.

10pol-versions are typically used in scenarios, where rotation speed between 8000 and 15000rpm are required (mostly helicopters). The14pol versions are to be preferred where torque is more important than rpms. This is typically the case where large diameter propellers are used. We even have customers that have successfully installed them in bikes, kickboards and other means of transportation.

For applications with more than 24 NiCd/NiMh cells or 7 LiPo cells it is generally better to use the 10pol versions, since most of the controllers have problems to handle the high power.

The best choiceregarding controller for these motors is the Hacker Master 77. This controller adresses applications all the way up to 32 cells and 77Amps, covering the full motor specification.

Number of windings :

These are the winding schemes for the TM430 that we deliver of-the-shelf:

TM430-20 : 20w, 24w, 28w (other types available on request, please ask for a customized offer)

TM430-30 : 15w, 16w, 20w, 24w, 28w (other types available on request, please ask for a customized offer)

TM430-40 Triton : calculated and manufactured upon request.
Dimensions (mm) :

TM430-20 / TM430-30

M4 Screws
max length 7,5mm

TM430-40 Triton

M4 Screws
max length 15mm

For fuselages with a very tight head, it is possible to install an extension kit which moves the motor back by either 40 or 50mm, reducing the required diameter of the fuselage to 40mm (see drawing below).

RPM/V under load:

The following table gives an overview of the specific rpm in rpm/V. This value is dependent on the stiffness of the motor and is available for a number of different loads.
