I-outer rotor motor iyimoto kagesi esebenza kahle futhi enokwethenjelwa esetshenziswa kabanzi ekukhiqizeni izimboni nezinto zikagesi zasendlini. Umgomo wayo oyinhloko ukubeka i-rotor ngaphandle kwe-motor. Isebenzisa umklamo we-rotor wangaphandle othuthukisiwe ukwenza injini izinze futhi isebenze kahle ngesikhathi sokusebenza. I-rotor motor yangaphandle inesakhiwo esihlangene namandla aphezulu, okuvumela ukuthi inikeze amandla amakhulu okukhipha amandla endaweni elinganiselwe. Iphinde ibe nomsindo ophansi, ukudlidliza okuphansi nokusebenzisa amandla aphansi, okuyenza yenze kahle ezimeni ezihlukahlukene zohlelo lokusebenza.
Ama-rotor motors angaphandle asetshenziswa kakhulu ekuphehleni amandla omoya, izinhlelo zokupholisa umoya, imishini yezimboni, izimoto zikagesi neminye imikhakha. Ukusebenza kwayo kahle nokuthembekile kuyenza ibe yingxenye ebalulekile yemishini nezinhlelo ezahlukahlukene.
