Overview
The BLS348 is the 48 kg·cm member of the low-profile brushless family: the same 41 × 20.5 × 28.5 mm case as the BLS325, 4 g heavier at 69 g, and nearly double the torque. Same mounting holes, same 25T spline, same 20.5 mm profile.
Going from 25 to 48 kg·cm in the same envelope is a gear-ratio and motor-wind change, and you pay for it in speed: 0.09 s/60° at 8.4 V against 0.07 s/60° on the 325. For 1/10-scale steering or a large control surface that is the right trade; for a fast cyclic load it may not be.
This page covers the RS-485 build: the same mechanics, commanded over a differential serial bus instead of a PWM channel. It is the version to pick when several servos sit on one pair of wires or when the cable run is long enough that a single-ended signal would pick up noise.

| 7.4 V | 0.110 s/60° (545 °/s) | 37 kg·cm (3.63 N·m / 514 oz·in) | 220 mA | 4 A |
| 8.4 V | 0.090 s/60° (667 °/s) | 48 kg·cm (4.71 N·m / 667 oz·in) | 250 mA | 5 A |

How to size it
48 kg·cm at 8.4 V is the headline; on 7.4 V it is 37 kg·cm and on 6.0 V it is 30 kg·cm. With 5 A stall current at the top rail, two of these on one BEC will pull 10 A at stall — size the BEC for the transient, not the average.
Because the case is the same as the 325’s, the mounting and the clearance are identical. If you are replacing a 325 with a 348 for more torque, nothing in the bracket changes; if you are replacing a 348 with a 325, you lose 23 kg·cm and gain 0.02 s/60°.
FAQ
What is the difference between the BLS325 and BLS348?
Torque and speed: 48 kg·cm at 0.09 s/60° against 25 kg·cm at 0.07 s/60°, same 41 × 20.5 × 28.5 mm case, 69 g against 65 g.
Is the case really the same?
Yes. The 348 shares the 41 × 20.5 × 28.5 mm housing and the 49 mm mounting span with the 325, so brackets and clearance are interchangeable.
Does the RS-485 build speak Modbus?
The inspection sheet lists RS-485 as the command signal and nothing more. Ask for the register map and the supported function codes before you write the controller code — do not assume a Modbus dialect.
How many servos can share the bus?
The limit is the address space and the current budget of the shared supply. Terminate the pair at both ends and keep the power pair separate from the signal pair.
