What is "Kv" of UAV BLDC Motor ?

The motor velocity constant (Kv) is a measure of the relationship between the speed of a brushless DC motor (BLDC) and the voltage applied to it. It is typically measured in units of revolutions per minute per volt (RPM/V). The Kv of a BLDC motor is determined by the number of windings in the stator and the number of magnets in the rotor.

In selecting a BLDC motor for a UAV, the Kv value is an important factor to consider. A higher Kv value indicates that the motor will rotate at a higher speed for a given voltage, which is desirable for applications that require high-speed operation, such as drones and UAVs.

However, it's not the only factor that should be taken into account as other parameters like torque, current, power and weight of the motor also play a critical role in the selection process.

For example, a UAV with heavy payload will require a motor with higher torque and power. Therefore, it's important to consider the specific requirements of the UAV application and match them with the appropriate BLDC motor, taking into account the Kv value along with the other parameters.

In short, the motor velocity constant (Kv) is an important parameter to consider when selecting a BLDC motor for a UAV, as it determines the speed at which the motor will operate. However, it should be considered along with other parameters such as torque, current, power and weight of the motor in order to select the appropriate motor for the specific UAV application.
