ODrive Motors

Below is general characteristics and performance numbers of the motors sold on the ODrive shop. Note that all performance figures are approximate, and real-world performance will depend on your particular application and cooling solution.

Because brushless motors are current-limited devices, the torque-speed curve looks quite different than what many people are used to when dealing with brushed motors.

Specifically, the motor is able to operate at a constant torque for the vast majority of its speed range, with the specific torque determined by the motor’s torque constant and current rating. However, after a certain speed (“base speed”), the achievable torque linearly falls to zero as the motor reaches its no-load speed (“free speed”). An example of such a graph is below, however the exact response will differ based on the motor parameters.
