Overview
The T-Motor MN505-S KV320 is an IP45 Navigator Type UAV motor designed for multirotor, VTOL, and fixed-wing power systems where dust/water resistance and stable operation are required. The Navigator series is positioned for general UAV uses including aerial photography, with applications such as cargo drones, tethered platforms, mapping, and inspection.
Key Features
- IP45 protection concept: waterproof, dust-resistant, and anti-corrosion design.
- Centrifugal fan cooling (bell cap): active cooling design; heat dissipation performance stated as 10% better than ordinary motors.
- High-temperature resistance: manual winding with special varnished wires; high-temperature resistant magnets; anti-high temperature and anti-overload positioning.
- Foreign object protection note: grid-shaped bell cap helps keep the motor away from >1 mm foreign objects, including when mounted upside down.
- Locking method: T-shape shaft secured with a circlip and a screw for “Double Security” under high RPM.
- Structure for lifespan/impact resistance: uses a 6 mm steel shaft and a 15 mm bearing.
- Performance optimization: anti-high temperature curved magnets; motor performance stated as improved by 5%+.
- Mounting note: when mounting the motor, ensure the thread inside the motor is ≤ 5 mm.

Details

The T-Motor MN505-S KV380 motor features a clean mounting face and lists IP45 protection with 6.6+ kg thrust.

The T-Motor cooling design uses a bell-cap centrifugal fan and heat-dissipation features to help handle hot conditions and overloads.

Motor airflow and temperature contour analysis across a cross-section helps visualize heat distribution and cooling paths.

The T-Motor IP45 design adds waterproof, dust-resistant, and anti-corrosion protection for flying in wet or dusty conditions.

The MN505S uses a screw, washer, and circlip locking method to help secure the T-shaped shaft during installation.

The MN505S uses a 6mm steel shaft and a 15mm bearing to support stable, long-lasting operation.

Curved magnets with controlled spacing are used to optimize the motor’s magnetic circuit compared with ordinary magnets.

The integrated 14–22 inch prop mounts to the motor using two M3×10 mm screws with a Ø20×2.4 mm cover and a 6×4 mm copper adapter.

The 14–18" foldable prop mounts to the motor hub using two M3×10mm screws for a secure, clean install.

The foldable 20–22" prop setup uses two M3×10mm mounting screws and a 6mm×4mm copper adapter for the hub fit.

T-Motor MN505-S KV380 motors pair with a finned ALPHA-series ESC for a clean, compact drone power setup.
