LY-30KGF Thrust Stand

LY-30KGF Thrust Stand

The LY-30KGF Thrust Stand is a professional-grade motor and propeller test stand designed for medium-sized UAV propulsion systems. Moving beyond simple thrust measurement, this specialized tool measures torque, allowing engineers to calculate true mechanical power and motor efficiency with laboratory precision. Capable of handling up to 30kg of thrust and propellers as large as 40 inches, the LY-30KGF is an essential asset for drone manufacturers and R&D labs aiming to maximize flight endurance and optimize heavy-lift performance.

Key Features

The stand utilizes high-precision load cells and a rigid CNC-machined frame to ensure repeatable, vibration-resistant data. It comes equipped with an Infrared (IR) Temperature Probe for non-contact monitoring of motor casing heat, preventing thermal damage during stress tests. The system is powered by the MET-V5 Software, which offers real-time data visualization and seven automated test modes—including Sine, Step, and Cycle modes—allowing for exhaustive performance mapping without manual throttle intervention.

Specifications

Designed for high-voltage systems, the LY-30KGF supports inputs from 5V up to 65V and currents up to 150A, making it compatible with large 12S and 14S LiPo setups. The torque sensor handles up to 20 N·m, providing the granular data needed to identify the “sweet spot” of any motor-propeller combination. For safety, the software includes a Safe Guard feature that automatically locks the throttle if thrust, temperature, or current exceeds user-defined limits, protecting both the operator and the hardware.

Applications

The LY-30KGF is primarily used for Propulsion System Optimization, helping pilots choose the perfect propeller pitch to match their motor’s torque curve. It is a staple for Industrial UAV Development, where verifying the “Maximum Take-Off Weight” (MTOW) is critical for safety certification. Additionally, Academic Researchers use the LY-30KGF to study aeroelasticity and propeller efficiency, while commercial drone operators use it to perform Quality Control checks on replacement motors before they are deployed on expensive aircraft.
