6.5″ Hub Motor with Encoder Overview:
The 6.5″ Hub Motor with Encoder is a self-contained 3-phase brushless motor with 6.5” wheel and solid rubber tire. Hub motor types are commonly used for Hoverboard style applications and ideal for mobile robotic platforms. The brushless motors require a motor controller capable of driving 3 phases. Three internal Hall-effect sensors provide positional feedback for the motor controller to determine position, speed and direction.
Ready to build your own custom mid-sized robot? The 6.5″ Hub Motor with Encoder accepts our custom-made Hub Motor Mounting Block (#34080) sold separately, and is height-compatible with our Heavy Duty Caster Wheel Kit (#64030).
