Discover the Avius AM50A ESC Pro — a compact, reliable, and high-performance 50A electronic speed controller designed for drones, UAVs, and robotics applications. Built on the proven AM32 open-source ESC platform, it supports modern DroneCAN (UAVCAN) bus communication for seamless integration with ArduPilot/PX4 flight controllers, while also accepting standard PWM/DShot inputs for broader compatibility. This ESC is engineered for durability – it comes housed in a custom IP55-rated enclosure with an integrated aluminum heat sink, ensuring dust protection and resistance to water jets (rain, splashes) for all-weather operation.

PRODUCT INFO

Each unit is assembled and tested in the USA, with all cables professionally soldered and a unique serial number and “Made in USA” label for quality assurance.

 

Product Options

  • Battery Connector Type: Select from XT30, XT60, or XT90 (no additional cost; choose your preferred discharge cable option at checkout via a dropdown menu).
    • This customizes the pre-soldered battery input cable to match your drone's power setup.
       

Features:

  • High Current Performance: 50A continuous current (80A peak bursts) at 2S–6S LiPo input. The AM50A Pro uses low-resistance MOSFETs and an aluminum heat sink to maintain cool operation – allowing sustained high power (proper cooling recommended for >30A continuous draw).
  • DroneCAN & PWM Support: Dual interface design supports DroneCAN for one-cable ESC networking and telemetry, as well as DShot/PWM for traditional RC setups. DroneCAN connectivity enables two-way communication with the autopilot, simplifying setup and allowing in-flight monitoring of ESC and motor health.
  • Open-Source Firmware: Runs AM32 firmware (v2.18) – an open-source ESC firmware known for smooth throttle response and configurability. Users can update or customize the ESC’s firmware via DroneCAN tools or Mission Planner, ensuring future-proof flexibility and access to community-driven improvements.
  • Integrated Telemetry: Built-in voltage and current sensing for real-time telemetry. When using DroneCAN, the ESC feeds back data like voltage, current, and RPM to your flight controller, which can be logged and viewed for diagnostics. Even in PWM/DShot mode, a telemetry wire is provided for connecting to flight controller telemetry ports, enabling health monitoring of the ESC.
  • Rugged Enclosure (IP55 Rated): Custom 3D-printed housing with a rubber gasket and cable glands protects the electronics from dust and low-pressure water jets in any direction. This IP55 water/dust resistance means the AM50A Pro can handle rain, splashes, and dusty environments without issue (not intended for full submersion). The enclosure is tightly fitted yet includes ventilation features to avoid heat buildup, working together with the aluminum heat sink for effective cooling.
  • Plug-and-Play Wiring: Comes pre-soldered with high-strand 14AWG silicone power leads (~50 cm length) and your choice of discharge connector (XT30, XT60, or XT90) for quick installation. Simply connect the XT plug to your battery, and the three motor output wires to your brushless motor (solder or use connectors as preferred). No extra soldering required on the power input side.
  • Flexible Signal Cables Included: Includes a 50 cm CAN bus cable for DroneCAN connections and an 18 cm twisted servo cable for optional PWM/DShot input. These shielded communication cables ensure error-free signal transmission.
  • Quality & Reliability: Each unit is fully tested for correct functionality and performance (including load testing up to 50A and verification of telemetry output) before shipment. All critical joints are secured with heat shrink and the assembly is vibration-resistant. The design leverages high-quality components (e.g., genuine Toshiba MOSFETs and automotive-grade capacitors) for longevity and dependable operation.
  • Made in the USA: Designed and assembled by Aerial MECHANICA Inc. in the USA. Every ESC is assigned a unique serial number and carries a “Made in USA” mark, reflecting our commitment to quality manufacturing and support.

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS

Continuous Operating Current (A) 50 A
Peak Current (A) 80A
Operating Voltage (V) 2S - 6S LiPo (7.4V - 22.2V)
  • Continuous Current: 50 A (with adequate cooling; integrated heatsink aids in sustaining >30 A continuous)
  • Peak Current: 80 A (10-second bursts, max)
  • Operating Voltage: 2S – 6S LiPo (7.4 V to 25.2 V input range)
  • BEC Output: None (flight controller and servos should be powered separately; the ESC’s CAN interface is powered from the flight controller’s CAN port)
  • Control Interfaces: DroneCAN (UAVCAN v0/CAN 2.0) and DShot/PWM
  • Firmware: AM32 ESC Firmware (v2.18, open-source) – supports field upgrades and parameter tuning
  • Telemetry Feedback: Voltage, Current, RPM (over DroneCAN or via dedicated telemetry wire in PWM mode)
  • Board Dimensions (PCB): 40 × 17 mm (bare board size). Note: The enclosed module is slightly larger due to the protective housing and glands (approximately 55 × 30 × 15 mm).
  • Weight: ~30 g (including enclosure, wires, and connectors)
  • Operating Temperature: –20 °C to 80 °C (MOSFET temperature should be kept under 100 °C for longevity – the built-in thermal protection will limit output if overheated)
  • Water/Dust Resistance: IP55 certified (protected from limited dust ingress and water jets)
  • Motor Compatibility: 3-phase brushless DC motors (sensored or sensorless). Motor output via three solder pads on the PCB (internally pre-wired to silicone leads that exit the enclosure). Supports PWM frequencies up to 48 kHz and fast motor commutation via AM32 firmware.
  • Mounting: Enclosure has four M3 mounting holes for secure attachment to your frame or electronics bay. Note: Ensure some airflow or ventilation around the heat sink for best performance under continuous high loads.
