The new V5 Smart Motor (5.5 W) motor is essentially a 393 Motor + IQ Smart Motor:
The new V5 Smart Motor (5.5 W) contains the motor from the 393 Motor, the same gearing and integrated encoder from an IQ Smart Motor, a new full metal gearbox output carrier (with a fourth planet instead of the three inside the IQ Smart Motor), and a new temperature sensor that will be adhered directly onto the motor itself (which is how we can get more usable mechanical power out of this motor compared to the prior 393 Motor).
There are no swappable cartridges or gear ratios; the motor will always have a free speed of 200 RPM and fixed overall ratio of 64:1.
The “cooling vents” were mostly added to the V5 Smart Motor (5.5 W) because their bigger (11 W) sibling already had them, and thus it formed a consistent visual design language between the two motors. We do not want any actual openings in the motor housing, because then metal dust from cut / filed pieces of metal has an easy ingress route.
We also changed the aluminum mounting standoffs to steel.
