GM5208 Brushless Gimbal Motor 12N14P / 24N22P – High Torque UAV & Camera Gimbal Motor (No Encoder)

Product Overview

The GM5208 Brushless Gimbal Motor (No Encoder) is a high-performance outrunner brushless motor engineered for camera gimbals, UAV payload stabilization, and precision robotic motion systems. Designed with a high pole count and low cogging torque, it delivers exceptionally smooth rotation and stable output under dynamic loads.

This motor is available in two configurations (GM5208-12 and GM5208-24), allowing designers to select the optimal balance between speed, torque, and efficiency for their application. Its robust mechanical design and wide operating voltage range make it suitable for professional aerial imaging and industrial stabilization platforms.
