High Torque 14.5 inch Brushless and Geared Hub Motor

A 14.5 inch geared hub motor is a power unit that integrates an electric motor with a gear reduction mechanism in the hub of a wheel, which can directly drive the wheel to rotate. When used in carts, it can significantly improve handling efficiency, especially in logistics, warehousing, factories and other scenarios where heavy loads need to be transported frequently.

Conventional carts need to be pushed continuously by human power, especially when carrying heavy loads or going uphill. Gear-hub motors provide electric assistance, and the operator only needs to hold the handlebar to control the direction, which significantly reduces physical exertion.

Brushless motor technology: a breakthrough in efficiency and longevity
Adoption of advanced brushless DC motor (BLDC) eliminates the wear and tear of carbon brushes found in traditional brush motors and extends the lifespan to more than 20,000 hours. The brushless design reduces operating noise (≤65dB), minimizes heat loss, and has an energy conversion efficiency of over 85%, significantly improving battery life. Built-in Hall sensor supports accurate speed feedback and overload protection to ensure operational stability.Planetary Gear Reduction System: Precise Regulation of Power Output
Built-in multi-stage planetary gear reduction mechanism amplifies the torque by 3-5 times (up to 30N.m-50N.m), which can easily cope with steep slopes (e.g., slopes of 15° or more) or heavy-duty (200-800kg) scenarios. The output speed can be adjusted within the range of 50-300rpm, which is suitable for low-speed and high-load or medium and high-speed transportation needs.

Industrial-grade protection and durability design
The wheels are forged from aircraft-grade aluminum alloy, which is both lightweight (10kg) and corrosion-resistant, adapting to harsh working conditions. The standard IP65 protection grade effectively protects against dust and rain, and supports a wide temperature range of -20℃ to 60℃ to meet the needs of cold storage, high-temperature workshops and rainy outdoor environments.

Working Principle of the Gear Hub Motor
Integrated design: The motor and gearbox are encapsulated in the hub, which directly drives the wheel, eliminating the need for traditional transmission chains (e.g., chains, belts).
Torque amplification : The gear reducer reduces the speed and increases the output torque, giving the cart greater load capacity and hill climbing ability at low speeds.
Electric drive: Usually powered by lead-acid batteries, the 14.5 inch motor speed and power output are adjusted through the controller, supporting infinitely variable speed regulation.

Thanks to their high torque, wide temperature range and IP65 protection, 14.5-inch brushless hub motors are widely used in industrial logistics (e.g., motorized carts, storage trucks), outdoor work (agricultural trucks, port equipment transportation) and in complex environments (chemical plants, corrosion-resistant, dusty mines, rainy weather). Its brushless technology and planetary gear reduction design enable it to excel in heavy-duty climbing (e.g. 15° slope), high-frequency start/stop, and long endurance (8-12 hours) scenarios, making it a highly efficient and durable core component for electrification upgrades.
