Pole Count on an RC Brushless Motor - RC Motor Basics

When one refers to how many poles an electric motor has, they are commonly referring to how many magnetic poles there are.

Here we look at the difference between pole counts specifically on inrunner motors.

Common in runner motors have 2 or 4 magnetic poles. There are some motors containing 6 poles as well. Outrunner motors may have in excess of 6 magnetic poles.

There are differences between a 2, 4 and 6 pole motor that does have an affect on the consumer. To most hobbyists, the performance differences will be quite subtle and may go unnoticed. However, there are a few key differences that will not go unnoticed and this is due to the inherit characteristics of a motors pole count.

In general 2 pole motors have a much larger range of options for kv selection vs a 6 pole motor for example. This is one key difference.

If you can't find the right kv motor, it makes no difference as to which pole count you can select. kv selection is prioritized over pole counts.
