# NEO Vortex Brushless Motor — REV-21-1652
|
||
|
||
## Overview
|
||
|
||
The **NEO Vortex** is Team 2890's standard drive motor for swerve modules. It's a high-power sensored brushless motor with integrated encoder memory and a dockable interface that connects directly to the SPARK Flex motor controller.
|
||
|
||
## Key Specifications
|
||
|
||
| Parameter | Value | Notes |
|
||
|-----------|-------|-------|
|
||
| Nominal Voltage | 12V | Standard FRC battery |
|
||
| Motor Kv | 565 Kv | RPM per volt |
|
||
| Free Speed | 6784 RPM | @ 12V no load |
|
||
| Stall Current | 211A | Maximum starting current |
|
||
| Stall Torque | 3.6 Nm | Maximum starting torque |
|
||
| Peak Output Power | 640W | |
|
||
| Typical Output (40A) | 375W | Sustained working power |
|
||
| Weight | 447g (0.99 lbs) | |
|
||
| Encoder Resolution (SPARK Flex) | 7168 CPR | With high-res firmware update |
|
||
|
||
## Mechanical specs
|
||
|
||
- **Shaft:** 1/2" hex through-bore with 7.5° taper
|
||
- **Mounting:** #10-32 threaded holes on 2" bolt circle
|
||
- **Docked body length:** 79.7mm (with SPARK Flex docked)
|
||
- **Through-bore:** Compatible with hex shafts, 8mm keyed, Falcon spline, MAXSwerve key, 7-tooth 20DP gear
|
||
|
||
## Features
|
||
|
||
- High-resolution integrated encoder
|
||
- Integrated motor parameter and calibration memory (auto-configures with SPARK Flex)
|
||
- Dual sensor direct-contact winding temperature sensing
|
||
- No motor wires — reliable dock connectors for phases and sensor
|
||
- Through-hex bore for quick-change shaft system
|
||
|
||
## Connection to Training
|
||
|
||
**For students:** The NEO Vortex is the power plant. Understanding:
|
||
- **Kv rating** (565 Kv) — at 12V, spins at ~6784 RPM under no load
|
||
- **Stall vs. free speed** — torque is highest at stall, speed is highest at no load
|
||
- **Current draw** — 211A stall means the battery and wiring must handle high current surges
|
||
- **Temperature sensing** — dual sensors protect the motor from overheating
|
||
|
||
This is a good bridge between physics (Pmec = τ × ω) and real hardware.

## Notes
|
||
|
||
Chris and team use these with SPARK Flex controllers in the MK4i swerve modules. The dockable design eliminates external motor wiring — phases and sensor data pass through the dock connection. This is a significant reliability improvement over bullet-wire connections. |
