Product OverviewRB-1806-CE is an 1806-class outer rotor brushless DC motor (BLDC) designed for compact high-speed drive applications such as small drones, miniature air pumps, handheld fans and smart home devices. The motor uses a flat-profile outer-rotor (outer rotor diameter ~23.4 mm), supports typical battery voltages 7.4V (2S) and 11.1V (3S) and can reach no-load speeds up to approximately 22,747 rpm depending on variant. OEM/ODM customization is available for electrical and mechanical parameters.

Comparison Highlights- Outer-rotor configuration: improved heat dissipation as the rotating shell promotes airflow compared with typical inner-rotor designs
- Higher direct-drive torque: preferable for propeller/impeller drive versus inner-rotor motors that may require gear reduction
- Flat-profile form factor: saves axial height for compact assemblies
- Fast response: direct-drive design enables quick speed changes
