Qianjiang Motor is a manufacturer with over a decade of experience in the industry. We offer brushless gear motors that deliver exceptionally high low-speed torque while featuring a compact, lightweight design. We provide mature, proven solutions at competitive direct-sales prices; please feel free to contact us.
A brushless geared hub motor consists of a high-speed brushless motor unit combined with an internal planetary gear reduction mechanism; the high-speed, compact motor drives the hub after the gearing reduces speed and amplifies torque.
With its components integrated inside the hub housing, it is classified as an internal-reduction hub motor and is widely used in standard-compliant electric bicycles, electric motorcycles, and electric tricycles.
1. High-speed brushless motor core: Compact stator and rotor; high no-load speed (exceeding 10,000 RPM).
2. Planetary gear reduction assembly: Sun gear, planet gears, ring gear, and planet carrier; common reduction ratios: 3.2:1, 3.6:1, 4:1, 4.5:1.
3. Output flange / Output shaft: The gear carrier drives the rotation of the outer hub shell.
4. Hall sensor assembly, oil seals, bearings, and lubricating grease.
The high-speed motor spins rapidly → the sun gear drives the planet gears to orbit and rotate → the ring gear remains stationary while the planet carrier outputs power at low speed → driving the hub and wheel rotation.
A simple analogy: It is like an electric vehicle with a built-in transmission, allowing a small motor to deliver high torque.
Motor speed of 3,000 rpm → gear reduction → actual wheel speed of only 250–700 rpm, matching normal driving speeds.

3. Small specialized vehicles: Inspection vehicles and drive wheels for indoor food delivery robots.
● Structural and Parameter Customization: Qianjiang Motor can customize motor dimensions, shaft diameters, gear ratios, mounting hole patterns, voltage, power, and rotational speed based on engineering drawings or specific application requirements.
● Drive and Control System Integration: We provide comprehensive integration and optimization services matching the motor with electronic controllers, speed regulators, sensors, and battery systems.
● Rapid Prototyping: We offer end-to-end custom development services, ranging from conceptual design, engineering assessment, and rapid prototyping to small-batch validation.
A: Yes. Brushless motors utilize electronic commutation and require a dedicated driver or controller to operate.
The controller drives the motor by precisely regulating the phase and magnitude of the three-phase current based on rotor position data provided by Hall sensors or sensorless algorithms. Connecting the motor directly to a DC power supply will not drive it.
