CubeMars GL100 KV10

The GL100 KV10 is the most powerful gimbal motor in the CubeMars GL series. It is a high-precision brushless motor designed for high-end gimbal systems, autonomous driving perception modules and radar scanning heads. For a weight of 698 g and a size of Ø106.8 × 34.2 mm it delivers 3 Nm rated and 7.7 Nm peak torque. Its 30 mm center hole lets cables and a slip ring pass through.

Key features

• Highest torque in the series. With 3 Nm rated and 7.7 Nm peak torque it carries heavy loads precisely. The torque to weight ratio is 11.03 Nm/kg.
• High torque at very low speed. No-load speed is 223 rpm and rated speed is 130 rpm, giving slow, strong rotation without a gearbox.
• 30 mm hollow shaft. Signal and power cables pass through the center, or a slip ring fits inside, for complex rotating systems.
• Low cogging, smooth output. The structure is optimized for gimbal use, giving finer control and faster response.
• IP45 protection. Dust resistant, it suits outdoor applications that need long, stable operation.

Applications

Typical applications include heavy camera and optics gimbals, rotating modules for autonomous driving perception, radar scanning heads and platforms that must turn a heavy load slowly but precisely.

Is it enough for your project?

The GL100 KV10 delivers 3 Nm rated and 7.7 Nm peak torque. In a gimbal, the required torque depends on how far the load's center of gravity sits from the rotation axis. For example, an 8 kg optical system with its center of gravity 3 cm off the axis needs about 2.35 Nm of static torque (8 × 9.81 × 0.03). That load stays within the motor's rated torque.

It runs on 24 V, with a rated current of 2.9 A and a peak current of 7.8 A. Its torque constant is high at 1.03 Nm/A, so it produces high torque at low current. If a lighter, faster motor is enough, the GL80 KV30 may be a better fit.

How it compares to similar models

• GL80 KV30. At 24 V it gives 1 Nm rated and 2.9 Nm peak torque. It weighs 315 g, measures Ø87 × 22.3 mm and has a no-load speed of 650 rpm.
• GL60 KV25. At 24 V it gives 0.6 Nm rated and 1.75 Nm peak torque. It weighs 230 g and has a 20 mm center hole.

Frequently asked questions

Are the driver and encoder included?

No. The GL100 is the motor only. The manufacturer states that it enables high-precision control when paired with an encoder. The driver and encoder are chosen separately.

Is a gearbox needed?

Usually not in gimbal applications. The motor gives high torque at low speed to carry the load directly, which gives a quiet axis with no gear backlash.

What about insulation and operating conditions?

Insulation is class H and tested at 1000 V. The operating temperature range is -20 °C to 50 °C.
