These micro gearmotors are built to last, boasting full - metal gears that ensure durability. With a 100:1 gear ratio, they can operate at voltages from 6 to 12 volts. They offer a stall torque of 25 oz - in and reach a maximum speed of 270 RPM at 12V. Each motor comes with a 3mm D - shaft. The enclosures for these micro gearmotors are sold separately. Key features include a wide voltage range of 6 - 12 Volts, a 100:1 gear ratio, a stall torque of 12/25 oz - in at 6/12V, a speed of 140/270 RPM at 6/12V, a no - load current of 40/80 mA at 6/12V, and a stall current of 360/1600 mA at 6/12V. They are also DC reversible. In terms of dimensions, the motor size is 26 x 12 x 10mm, the shaft is 3mm in diameter and 10mm in length, and it weighs only 17g.
Using this micro gearmotor is quite simple. First, make sure to connect it to a power source within the 6 - 12V range. You can reverse its direction as it's DC reversible. When you're using it, keep in mind that the enclosures are sold separately, so you'll need to get them if you want to protect the motor. Regarding maintenance, it's a good idea to keep the motor clean and free from dust. Check the connections regularly to ensure they're secure. If you notice any abnormal noise or a drop in performance, check the power supply and the gear ratio might need a check as well. And always handle it gently because of its relatively small size and light weight of 17g.
