iPower Motors
GM3506 is a brushless direct-drive gimbal motor with an AS5048A encoder in an aluminum case. The assembly measures Ø40 × 25.8 mm and weighs 72 g; its hollow shaft has 12 mm OD and 8.6 mm ID. Maker tests list 600–1000 g·cm at 12 V/1 A and 2149–2375 rpm unloaded at 16 V. Continuous ratings and cable pin assignments are not published.
GM3506-AS5048AMotorFacts about the complete product. Unknown values remain open design questions.
Guidance to help you shortlist. The basis is shown for each recommendation.
Brushless direct-drive GM3506 has AS5048A position feedback and 11 pole pairs; maker targets balanced SLR camera gimbals. Requires an external BLDC/FOC driver, phase alignment and verified encoder cable routing; not a drop-in controller.
Engineering inferenceNo-load speed, rated performance and stall limits describe different operating points. A stall specification is not a continuous operating rating.
Generated from the datasheet's dimensioned drawing and measured against it. Download the STEP to check fit in your own enclosure.
The motor body, transmission and output shaft have separate roles in a mechanism.
Reported body dimensions may exclude the shaft, terminals and other protrusions. Use the manufacturer drawing to establish the complete mounting and clearance envelope.
No-load, rated-load and stall figures retain their separate test conditions.
Stall torque and current are not continuous ratings. Check the duty cycle and starting load when choosing the driver and power supply.
Product operating conditions, chip ambient ratings, package case limits and junction maxima remain separate.
Reported product dimensions may exclude protruding components. Unknown height does not establish a complete clearance envelope.
Attached generated geometry is an approximate envelope. A generated outline does not establish an electrically verified PCB footprint.
