New products: Six new Mini Plastic Gearmotors

Our family of Mini Plastic Gearmotors is growing! We have added HP versions with more powerful motors for increased torque and speed, and we are now carrying versions with extended motor shafts intended for use with custom encoders for motor speed and position feedback. (These extended-shaft versions are not compatible with the magnetic encoders we just released for our Micro Metal Gearmotors; we will have a similar encoder solution for these plastic gearmotors at some point, but for now we are offering them for people who want to make their own encoders.) The following table shows the current state of our Mini Plastic Gearmotor family:

Motor Type	Stall Current @ 4.5 V	No-Load Speed @ 4.5 V	Stall Torque @ 4.5 V	90° output	90° output + motor shaft	offset output	offset output + motor shaft
high-power (HP)	1250 mA	150 RPM	25 oz-in	120:1 mini HP	120:1 mini HP	120:1 mini HP	120:1 mini HP
low-power	800 mA	120 RPM	20 oz-in	120:1 mini	120:1 mini	120:1 mini	120:1 mini
		80 RPM	30 oz-in	180:1 mini		180:1 mini

We are particularly excited about these gearmotors because they offer a great combination of performance and affordability; don’t be surprised if you find these motors in some of our future robots and robot kits! For more information about all of these gearmotors, see our Mini Plastic Gearmotors category.
