    Service detail

    We Provide Drone Motor Repair

    The motor is an important component of a drone for propulsion.  A slight effect on this component can lead to some repercussions.

    Drones have two types of motors, the brushed motor and the brushless motor. The brushed motors are relatively cheap and don't last long due to friction.

    Some of the common causes of motor 

    • Motor overload 
    • Overheating due to poor cooling
    • Damage to winding junction and power supply wires due to motor vibration and mechanical damage

    Motor overload is mainly caused by overload at the gimbals. The overload can be due to debris at the gimbals, undistributed load, or third-party accessories. To control this, do a load distribution, fix any broken hardware or keep the drone clean.

    drone motor

    Drone motor heating up is normal. However, overheating may cause some malfunctions such as:

    • Damaged motor windings: the winding causes magnetic fields that react with a permanent magnet causing propeller movement. Excess heating will cause winding deformation and affect propeller rotation. To correct this, detach elongated windings from the anchoring screw connecting the motor and frame(or install a shorter screw) or do a conductivity test.
    • Desyncing motor: this is a state of an unbalanced rotation speed of motors that might cause a crash or uncontrollable flight. First, identify the affected motor. Finally, install an updated flight program or take the affected motor for service.
    • Loss of magnetic strength: the magnetic field created in the windings interacts with a permanent magnet causing propeller rotation. Any effect on magnetic strength will affect drone performance. To solve this seek professional help.
    • Hot drone frame: overheating sometimes causes the drone frame to be hot (not too hot that can burn but it feels hot after landing). To correct this, check phase wirings as they could be touching the frame.
    • Drone motor failure: this may happen at last. The best remedy is to visit certified technicians of Good Zone for an amicable solution.

    There are some other common signs that indicate a faulty. The motor can be prevented from most of these causes by keeping it clean and through keen observation. However, some defects can only be detected and corrected through an expert service.

    When Strange Noises Mean Immediate Repair Needs

    drone motor repair NYC Midwood Brooklyn

    Drone enthusiasts know that a well-functioning motor is crucial for safe and enjoyable flights. However, even the most reliable motors can develop issues over time. Recognizing the early warning signs of motor failure can save you from costly repairs or potentially dangerous situations mid-flight.

    Telltale Sounds of Trouble

    One of the most obvious indicators of motor problems is unusual noise. If you hear any of the following sounds coming from your drone's motors, it's time to ground your aircraft and seek professional repair:

    • Grinding or scraping: This often indicates worn bearings or debris caught in the motor housing.
    • High-pitched whining: Could be a sign of electrical issues within the motor or ESC.
    • Intermittent buzzing: May point to loose connections or damaged windings.

    Feel the Heat: Overheating Motors

    While some heat is normal during operation, excessive heat is a red flag. After landing, carefully touch each motor. If one feels significantly hotter than the others, it could be:

    • Struggling against increased friction due to worn bearings
    • Working harder to compensate for an imbalanced propeller
    • Experiencing electrical issues causing inefficient power usage

    The Twitchy Motor Syndrome

    If you notice one of your drone's motors twitching or stuttering during flight, it's crucial to land immediately. This behavior often indicates:

    • A failing ESC (Electronic Speed Controller)
    • Loose motor windings
    • Intermittent electrical connections

    Continuing to fly with a twitching motor can lead to sudden power loss and potential crashes[4].

    Vibrations: When Smooth Becomes Rough

    Increased vibration during flight is another sign that your motors need attention. This can be caused by:

    • Bent motor shafts
    • Damaged bearings
    • Loose mounting screws

    Not only does excessive vibration affect flight performance, but it can also lead to premature wear on other drone components.

    The Importance of Proactive Maintenance

    Regular inspections and maintenance can catch many of these issues before they become flight-ending problems. After each flying session:

    • Visually inspect motors for any signs of damage or debris
    • Gently spin each propeller, feeling for any roughness or resistance
    • Check all motor mounting screws for tightness

    By staying vigilant and addressing motor issues early, you can extend the life of your drone and ensure safer flights. Remember, when in doubt, it's always better to err on the side of caution and seek professional drone motor repair services. At Good Zone, our experienced technicians can diagnose and repair a wide range of motor issues, getting you back in the air with confidence.

    • Carefully disassemble the motor
    • Remove damaged windings
    • Rewind with high-quality copper wire
    • Rebalance and test for optimal performance

    This intricate process not only saves you money but often results in a motor that performs better than the original[7].

      I was recommended this service by another friend. The reviews about them were mixed, so I decided to give it a try. I was very pleased with their service and work. They fixed my phone and made sure everything was up to date. They also gave me a good discount on the anti-shock film. Thank you for your work!

      FAQ

      Do drone motors wear out?

      Just like other components, the motor eventually wears off. Some of its components that often wear off are windings, brushes and bearings.

      What happens when a drone motor fails?

      When the motor fails when the drone is in flight it will spin since its balanced torque is tampered with. The spin will then cause the drone controller to fail since it will be unable to cope with it. Try and maintain the drone position for a safe landing.
