SunnySky A2212 980KV Brushless Motor - Clockwise

The clockwise partner to the CCW A2212

This SunnySky A2212 980KV turns clockwise. The maker describes a perfect combination of power, efficiency and reliability, and says the 980 KV rating provides consistent thrust while keeping energy efficiency high. Clockwise rotation simplifies setup and ensures proper motor alignment.

It is suitable for RC planes and multi-rotor drones, and the advanced cooling fins dissipate heat for longer flight durations.

Details to check

The stator is 22 mm by 12 mm, the motor weighs 56 g, the maximum power is 330 W and the continuous current is 20 A for 30 seconds. Motor resistance is 123 milliohm, the required ESC is 20 A and the recommended propeller is a 9450.

It is compatible with standard mounting patterns. On a quadcopter you need two CW and two CCW motors, so order this motor together with the CCW version, check the direction of each motor with the propellers removed and use matching propellers.

Who it suits

Builders of quadcopters and RC planes who want a pair of matched, well-rated A2212 motors.

Matching it with the CCW motor

This CW motor should be paired with the CCW version of the same model for a balanced quadcopter. Order both together so that the batches and wire lengths match, use a propeller of the matching direction and label each motor when you install it. After the first flight, check the temperature of all four motors: they should be similar, and a hot one points to a problem. Common causes are a bent shaft, a damaged bearing or a propeller that is not balanced.
