What is an Airsoft Motor?

An Airsoft motor is a crucial component in Airsoft guns, specifically electric-powered ones. It plays a key role in the gun's operation by driving the gearbox and ultimately propelling the BB (plastic pellets) out of the barrel.

Features of Airsoft Motor

Motor That Lasts

Contrary to conventional brushed motors that generate high heat and get worn out quickly, brushless motors do not need to be in contact with the stator and can be 30-40% more efficient than their brush counterparts, thus extending their service life 10 times that of carbon brush motors.

Dc Gear Motor With Encoder AB Dual Phase Encoder

Smart, Precise, And Safe

Featuring a control circuit with CPU and low internal resistance MOSFET, the motor operation is precisely regulated, allowing it to be twice as efficient as conventional motors in converting. Additionally, the control circuit offers low voltage, overheating, and overload protection for the battery.

Ultra Fast Response

If you're looking for ultra-fast response with little delay, or you play primarily in semi-auto, look no further. Some of our motor is designed to withstand 7.4V and 11.1V LiPo batteries, providing speed up to 36,000rpm with 7.4V; and 54,000rpm with 11.1V batteries.

Durable and Easy to Install

Made out of CNC-machined aluminum with anodized surfaces for improved heat dissipation, maintains high performance at all times. For installation, simply swap out the original carbon brush motor and you're good to go. No modification is required.

Types of Airsoft Motor

Airsoft motors are the devices that convert electrical energy into mechanical energy, allowing the airsoft gun to fire. There are different types of airsoft motors, each with its advantages and disadvantages. The most common types are:

Standard Motor

This is the most basic and common type of airsoft motor. It has moderate torque and speed and is suitable for most airsoft guns. It is also the cheapest and easiest to maintain.

High Torque Motor

This type of airsoft motor has a higher torque than the standard motor, which means it can pull stronger springs and provide better trigger response. It is ideal for high FPS or DMR builds, as well as for semi-auto-only guns. However, it has a lower speed than the standard motor, which means it has a lower rate of fire.

High-Speed Motor

This type of airsoft motor has a higher speed than the standard motor, which means it can provide a higher rate of fire. It is ideal for CQB or full-auto builds, as well as for high ROF or RPS builds. However, it has a lower torque than the standard motor, which means it can struggle with stronger springs and have a worse trigger response.

High-Speed Motor

This type of airsoft motor is a compromise between high torque and high-speed motors. It has a balanced torque and speed and can perform well in most situations. It is ideal for general-purpose or all-around builds, as well as for hybrid builds that require both torque and speed.

Applications of Airsoft Motor

Adjust the Rate of Fire

The rate of fire(ROF) is the number of shots that your gun can fire per second, and it depends on the speed and torque of your motor. A faster motor can spin the gears faster, resulting in a higher ROF. A higher torque motor can overcome more resistance from the spring and battery, resulting in a more consistent ROF. Depending on your preference and play style, you may want to choose a motor that suits your needs. For example, if you want to spray a lot of BBs at your enemies, you may want a high-speed motor that can deliver a high ROF. If you want to conserve ammo and have more accuracy, you may want a high-torque motor that can deliver a steady ROF.

Change the Muzzle Velocity

The muzzle velocity(FPS) is the speed at which the BBs exit the barrel of your gun, and it depends on the power and efficiency of your motor. A more powerful motor can compress the spring more, resulting in a higher FPS. A more efficient motor can use less energy from the battery, resulting in a longer battery life and less heat generation. Depending on your preference and field regulations, you may want to choose a motor that suits your needs. For example, if you want to have more range and penetration, you may want a high-power motor that can deliver a high FPS. If you want to have more safety and compatibility, you may want a low-power motor that can deliver a low FPS.

Customize the Sound and Feel of Airsoft Gun

A third application of airsoft motors is to customize the sound and feel of your airsoft gun. The sound and feel of your gun are determined by the vibration and noise of your motor. A smoother motor can reduce the vibration and noise of your gun, resulting in a quieter and smoother shooting experience.

A louder motor can increase the vibration and noise of your gun, resulting in a louder and more realistic shooting experience. Depending on your preference and environment, you may want to choose a motor that suits your needs. For example, if you want to have stealth and stealthiness, you may want a smooth motor that can deliver a silent shooting experience. If you want to have realism and immersion, you may want a loud motor that can deliver a realistic shooting experience.

Some Common Parameters of the Airsoft Motor

Specification of Motor

The motors commonly used for V2 and V3 are 460, 470 and 480 motors. Taking the 480 motor as an example, 4 represents a rotor length of 40mm and 8 represents a diameter of 8mm. The larger the diameter, the more copper wire can be wound, which can improve the performance of the motor. Due to the limitation of installation space, 480 motor is the largest size motor that can be used by conventional airsoft guns.

Long Axis & Short Axis

Refers to the length of the motor shaft.
Motor for V2 gearbox is separated from gearbox, installed in the grip, it's long axis motor.
Motor for V3 gearbox is installed in a motor frame which is fixed in the gearbox, it's short-axis motor.

Torque

To easily understand, the torque is the power of the motor. The bigger the torque, the stronger the power, and the larger the spring it can be driven.

Rotating Speed

The speed of the motor's no-load rotation, the higher the speed, the higher the RPS. Usually, there will be a mark of voltage and rotating speed on the motor, for example, 11.1V 28000RPM.

Tpa

The number of coils wound on the rotor mainly affects the speed. Generally, the higher the number of turns, the lower the speed and the lower the heat generation. Many people like to use TPA to judge the performance of a motor, but this is not a scientific way.

Magnetic Tile Type

Usually, the stronger the magnetism, the larger the motor torque, the shorter the startup response time, the higher the electromagnetic conversion efficiency, and the faster the motor stops. Ordinary magnetic tile and strong magnetic tile:

1)Ordinary magnetic tile:
It is a black magnet, has general magnetism, and belongs to a low torque motor. Mostly used for some cheap original guns because the cost is low enough.
2)Strong magnetic tile:
Commonly used are NdFeB rare earth materials, according to the process, it is divided into two types: bonding and sintering. The bond magnetism is medium, generally used for medium torque motors, Sintered magnetic is the strongest, usually used in high torque motors. Since NdFeB is easy to oxidize, the magnet needs to be electroplated, and the surface will be electroplated silver. Through the motor shell, we can observe the magnetic tile to identify it. (Note that many fakes will also use ordinary black magnets to pretend to be NdFeB magnets by electroplating or painting silver)

Structure of Airsoft Motor

Bottom Cover

There are two common materials for the bottom cover, one is plastic and the other is metal. The two bases have their own advantages and disadvantages. The plastic bottom cover has low cost and good insulation, and it is not easy to cause a short circuit accident when the power cord is broken or loosened.
However, the heat resistance limit of plastic is not as good as that of metal, At high temperatures (over 250°C), it may deform and cause failure. But in fact, it is difficult to achieve such a high temperature in normal use. If there is such a high temperature, the motor itself will almost be scrapped, so this is not a very direct disadvantage at all. The CNC metal bottom cover is just the opposite. High cost and poor insulation (Most factories will spray insulating paint on the surface, but the insulating layer may be worn during disassembly and assembly, so be sure to insulate the power cord just in case), high-temperature resistance, and help to dissipate heat.

Motor Shell

The casings are basically made of metal, and some will have heat-dissipation holes. However, since the motor is installed in the handle, both sides are sealed, not open space, and there is not enough heat dissipation space. Therefore, opening the heat dissipation holes has limited improvement in the heat dissipation effect.

Fixing Spring

Keep the motor in a stable longitudinal position in the grip or motor frame. Fixing the position of the motor relies on the force on both sides of the screw of the grip bottom cover and the spring, they clamp the motor in a fixed position to achieve the effect of stable gear engagement.

Motor Gear

The motor gear is used to engage the bevel gear of the gearbox to drive the action in the gearbox. Generally, there are two kinds of materials: nylon and metal. Metal is divided into three types: powder die casting, injection, and steel cutting. Note that the motor gear and the bevel gear must be made of the same material. Otherwise, the nylon gear will be aggravated and damaged.

Shaft Sleeve

The shaft sleeve extends into the motor hole of the handle and the gearbox to fix the lateral position of the motor. If the lateral position is not fixed, the gears will be disengaged, which will aggravate the wear of the gears and cause damage. A good shaft sleeve and motor shaft will be fixed with bearings for better stability.

Electrodes

There are positive and negative electrodes on the motor tail cover, which are used to connect the power cord.

Carbon Brush Fixing Spring

Keep the carbon brush in tight contact with the rotor commutator.

Carbon Brush

There are two carbon brushes, which are respectively connected to the positive and negative electrodes, and the inner side is in contact with the rotor commutator to supply power to the rotor coil. Note that carbon brushes are consumables. After friction loss, they will not be able to supply power to the motor, and new carbon brushes need to be replaced.

Factors You Should Consider When Choosing Airsoft Motor:

Types of Airsoft Motors

There are two types of airsoft motors: brushed and brushless. Brushed motors have a simple design that consists of a metal core, a coil of wire, and two brushes that connect the coil to the power source. Brushless motors have a more complex design that uses magnets and electronic circuits to control the rotation of the motor.

Size of Airsoft Motors

The size of an airsoft motor refers to the diameter and length of the metal core. The size affects the speed and torque of the motor, which are two important factors for airsoft guns. Speed is how fast the motor can spin, measured in revolutions per minute (RPM). Torque is how much force the motor can apply to turn the gears, measured in kilogram-centimeters (kg-cm).

Generally, a larger motor will have more torque but less speed, while a smaller motor will have more speed but less torque. A high-torque motor is better for high-power guns that use heavy springs or high-voltage batteries. A high-speed motor is better for low-power guns that use light springs or low-voltage batteries.

Speed and Torque of Airsoft Motors

The speed and torque of an airsoft motor are also affected by the number of turns of wire in the coil. The number of turns is usually indicated by a letter after the size, such as T or L. For example, a 22T motor has 22 turns of wire in the coil.

A higher number of turns means more resistance in the coil, which results in more torque but less speed. A lower number of turns means less resistance in the coil, which results in more speed but less torque. Therefore, a 22T motor will have more torque but less speed than a 16T motor.

Voltage of Airsoft Motors

The voltage of an airsoft motor is determined by the battery that powers it. The voltage affects the speed and power of the motor, as well as its lifespan. A higher voltage means more current flowing through the motor, which results in more speed and power. However, it also means more heat and stress on the motor, which can shorten its lifespan.

The most common voltages for airsoft batteries are 7.4V, 9.6V, and 11.1V. The voltage you choose depends on your gun's specifications and your personal preference. A higher voltage will give you more rate of fire and trigger response, but it may also damage your gun's internals if they are not compatible or upgraded. A lower voltage will give you less rate of fire and trigger response, but it may also prolong your gun's lifespan if it is not designed for high power.

Frequently Asked Questions about Airsoft Motor

Q: What is an airsoft motor?

A: The motor is the backbone to the internals of an airsoft electric gun (AEG). When the trigger is pulled, the switch assembly allows current from the battery to power the motor which turns the gears and pulls back the spring loaded piston inside the gun. Once the piston has reached the end of its travel and the gears have made a complete revolution, the piston is released and the spring pushes it forward, forcing air inside the cylinder into the hop up unit and propelling the BB. The fully automatic and semi-automatic modes are made possible by the electrically driven gearbox as opposed to a spring powered airsoft gun which requires the operator to manually cock and pull back the piston before firing the shot. A motor is one of the simplest upgrades you can perform without opening up the gearbox and see some tangible results.

Q: How long do airsoft motors last?

A: Airsoft motors should last tens of thousands of rounds with the components that wear out being the motor brushes. Motor brushes themselves are replaceable making the motor serviceable for continued use, however some people view this as the perfect excuse to upgrade to an aftermarket motor. Improper motor height adjustment could cause more electrical resistance and damage other components such as the pinion gear.

Q: What motor fits my airsoft gun?

A: Motors are going to be the same internally however they will be offered with different shaft lengths. The most common shaft lengths found in airsoft electric motors are the long shaft and short shaft models. These do not interchange and it is important you research your airsoft gun model before purchasing the motor. If you are unsure about what type to get, reach out to us and we can help you figure it out. Though it is not possible to know every single model in the market, many do follow the standard motor shaft lengths and should be compatible with upgrade motors that we offer.

Q: Why should I upgrade my motor?

A: Motors in airsoft guns affect trigger response and rate of fire. Replacing the motors can therefore improve the performance of your airsoft gun. CHIHAI's product includes several types of airsoft motors, which are distinguished by excellent workmanship, and made from the best materials and components available. As a result, the motors are resistant to external factors and remain reliable even when used frequently and intensively.

Replacing the airsoft guns’ engine can significantly improve the parameters of a given replica, e.g. rate of fire, which is of great importance during dynamic games. Among our products, airsoft enthusiasts can pick and choose from models with high torque and high rotational speed. High-torque motors can reach their maximum speed rapidly. It is a great choice for people who use semi-automatic airsoft guns frequently. High-speed motors, on the other hand, enable for much better rate of fire.

Our products are resistant to the harshest weather conditions and are protected against overheating or burning as a result of a short circuit. They will function in the most difficult and harsh conditions.

Q: Is it worth changing airsoft motor?

A: Motors for airsoft guns, e.g. the High Torque is characterized by extraordinary strength, but also a higher price than in the case of stock motors. However, for airsoft enthusiasts who value high quality, the higher cost is not a problem. Additionally, it is one of the best solutions for people who care about tuning an airsoft gun. These devices exceed the technical parameters of all stock motors that are pre-installed in airsoft guns, which further improves their effectiveness. All of the offered products are ready to use straight out of the box and do not require any additional configuration, except for some minor adjustments after installation. This eliminates the dilemma of how to properly connect the airsoft gun motor so that the replica will function properly.

Q: What kind of motors you can provide?

A: For now, we mainly provide a micro motor and a series of DC deceleration motors, including a straight tooth deceleration motor, planetary deceleration motor, and worm deceleration motor. At present, our company focuses on developing various types of motors with voltage between 1VDC and 30VDC and motor diameters between 8 and 51mm.

Q: How many amps does an airsoft motor use?

A: Smaller Airsoft guns need about 30 Amps while larger ones can need over 100 Amps.

Q: What is the voltage of the airsoft motor?

A: Nominal Voltage: 7.4V, 11.1V LiPo.
Magnet Type: Neodymium.
Operating Voltage: 6-13v.

Q: What is a brushless motor airsoft??

A: Non-sparking brushless motors have very high torque, are high speed, and possess lithium battery low voltage protection, overheating protection, as well as overload protection.

Q: What is the difference between airsoft brushless motors and regular motors?

A: Contrary to conventional brushed motors that generate high heat and get worn out quickly, brushless motors do not need to be in contact with the stator and can be 30-40% more efficient than their brush counterparts, thus extending their service life 10 times that of carbon brush motors.

Q: What does TPA mean in airsoft motors?

A: TPA means turns per armature. Armature is central shaft inside the airsoft motor and it has winded wire on it. How many times its winded, means TPA. So 22 tpa means there are 22 stacks of wire winded on each side.
