apartThree decisions, made first
A drone is only as dependable as the motors under its arms. Every Taraxis unit starts from the same three choices.
Magnets that hold their strength
N52H, the high-temperature grade, in every motor we build, set into an aluminium rotor bell.

Our own ESC hardware and firmware, tuned to our own motors and sealed in the unit.
In-house ESC firmwareModels
Two integrated units and three motors to start, with more on the way. Full specifications are published at launch.
X6 class
To be launchedFor spraying and heavy-lift multirotors. Our first unit, developed against the market-standard X6 class.
X8 class
To be launchedThe larger unit for heavier payloads, developed after the X6 on the same stator, rotor and controller design.
Motors
2806
To be launched28 × 6 mm stator. For small multirotors and light survey drones.
4006
To be launched40 × 6 mm stator. Flat and light, for mid-size multirotors and mapping.
4215
To be launched42 × 15 mm stator. More torque for larger multirotors and light payloads.

Collaborate with usBLDC drone motors for agricultural and industrial drones
Taraxis Motor develops brushless DC (BLDC) drone motors in Chennai, from the small 2806 to the 80 mm-class 8020, which is in development. Specifications are published after validation.
Drone motors
Two integrated units and three motors to start: the X6 and X8 class units and the 2806, 4006 and 4215 motors.

About the 8020 motorApplications
Crop spraying, survey and mapping, inspection, and logistics and heavy lift.
Where the motors are usedBuilt for the work
Units for drones that fly every day, in Indian conditions.
- Crop sprayingHexa- and octocopters that carry a full tank, sortie after sortie, in heat and dust.
- Survey and mappingLong, steady passes where motor efficiency decides how much ground one battery covers.
- InspectionClose flight near bridges, towers and lines, where the ESC must answer every correction at once.
- Logistics and heavy liftPayload drones that need torque in reserve, not a motor run at its limit all day.
- ExportWe take export orders directly from Chennai.
Collaborate with us
We develop propulsion with drone companies, not only for them. Bring us your airframe and mission, and we will design, prototype and test the motor and controller around it with your team.
- Winding and motor size matched to your propeller and payload
- Mounts and arm clamps made for your frame
- ESC firmware tuned to your flight controller
- Small prototype batches before production volumes
- Share the briefAirframe, all-up weight, propeller, payload and how long it must fly.
- We propose a unitAn existing model, a modified winding or a new size, with the reasoning behind it.
- Prototype and test togetherBench runs in our lab, then flight tests on your airframe.
- Build to volumeProduction on our own line in Chennai, with the same tests on every unit.
How a unit is made
Everything that decides how a unit performs is made on our own line: winding, magnet insertion, balancing and testing.
Start with the core
Every unit starts from a laminated steel stator core: thin sheets stacked and bonded into one block, ready for winding.
Wind it
Copper goes onto every tooth on our winding machine, and the leads are brought out to the three phase pads on the controller.
Build the rotor
N52H magnets go into an aluminium bell, investment cast or CNC turned, on our own magnet insertion machine. Every rotor is balanced.
Run it on the bench
Each unit is assembled with its ESC and run on a test bench in our quality lab before it leaves Chennai.
