These small brushed DC gearmotors can deliver a lot of power for their size. This version has a 12V brushed DC motor with long-life carbon brushes combined with a 250:1 metal spur gearbox. The gearmotor is cylindrical with a diameter of 20 mm, and the D-shaped output shaft is 4 mm in diameter and extends 18 mm from the face plate of the gearbox.

Key specifications:

voltage no-load performance stall extrapolation
12 V 55 RPM, 80 mA 14 kg⋅cm (190 oz⋅in), 1.6 A

Note: the gearbox torque limit is 70 oz-in (5 kg-cm); see detailed description for important product limitations.

Performance at maximum efficiency

Max efficiency @ 12V: 30 %
Speed at max efficiency: 47 rpm
Torque at max efficiency: 2.4 kg·cm
Current at max efficiency: 0.33 A
Output power at max efficiency: 1.2 W

Notes:

1
Not including output shaft; output shaft adds 18 mm to the total length.
2
D shaft.
3
Stalling is likely to damage the gearmotor. Stall parameters come from a theoretical extrapolation of performance at loads far from stall. As the motor heats up, as happens as it approaches an actual stall, the stall torque and current decrease.
4
This motor will run at 6 V but is intended for operation at 12 V.
