specification sheet of the motor is included at: http://alliedmotion.com/Products/Series.aspx?s=29.
Caution: Max motor input ±18 V, 2 A peak, 0.5 A continuous.
Caution: Exposed moving parts.
Caution: Holding the motor in a stalled position for a prolonged period of time at applied voltages of over 5V
can result in permanent damage.
2.2.2 Thruster Assemblies
The Quanser Aero has two identical thruster assemblies which are attached to the Aero body. Thruster 0 can be
identified by locating the pitch lock screws or the yaw lock magnets. Both of these items are on the side of the yolk
facing thruster 0.
2.2.3 High-efficiency Propeller
The Quanser Aero ships with two counter-rotating APC 5.0x4.6 propellers, models LP05046E/EP. More information
on the propellers can be found on the Advanced Precision Composites website (www.apcprop.com).
2.2.4 Low-efficiency Propeller
The Quanser Aero ships with two eight-vane counter-rotating 3D-printed propellers.
2.2.5 Propeller Hub
The Quanser Aero propellers are connected to the DC motors with aluminum prop adapters with collets. The pro-
peller adaptors are E-flite part number EFLM1922.
2.2.6 Pitch and Motor Position Encoders
The encoders used to measure the pitch of the Aero body and the angular position of the DC motorson the Quanser
Aero is a single-ended optical shaft encoder. It outputs 2048 counts per revolution in quadrature mode (512 lines
per revolution).
The encoders used to measure the pitch of the Aero body, and angular position of the DC motors on the Quanser
Aero is the US Digital E8P-512-118 single-ended optical shaft encoder. The complete specification sheet of the E8P
optical shaft encoder is given in E8P Data Sheet.
2.2.7 Yaw Encoder
The encoders used to measure the yaw of the support yolk on the Quanser Aero is an optical encoder. It outputs
4096 counts per revolution in quadrature mode (1024 lines per revolution).
The encoders used to measure the yaw of the support yolk on the Quanser Aero is the US Digital E3-1024-984
optical encoder. The complete specification sheet of the E3 optical shaft encoder is given in E3 Data Sheet.
