250:1 Metal Gearmotor 20Dx46L mm 6V CB with Extended Motor Shaft
These small brushed DC gearmotors can deliver a lot of power for their size. This version has a 6V 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. This version also has a 6 × 2 mm extended motor shaft.
Key specifications:
| voltage | no-load performance | stall extrapolation |

 - Not including output shafts; output shafts add 24 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.
