Description
A DC motor with gear box attached to the shaft, which is mechanically commutated electric motor powered from direct current (DC). These motors can rotate in either direction and speed control is also possible, however, expect a very fast speed and high torque from these small guys.
Technical Specification:
- RPM: 300 (at 9V)
- Operating Voltage : 3V - 9V
- Gear materials: plastic
- Motor types: permanent-magnet
- Brush-type: Brush
- Uncommitted motors: Homopolar motors
- Magnet types: ferrite magnets
- Torque: Approximate 2.5Kg/cm
- Low density: lightweight, low inertia
Features:
- Capability to absorb shock and vibration as a result of elastic compliance
- Ability to operate with minimum or no lubrication, due to inherent lubricity
- Relatively low coefficient of friction
- Corrosion-resistance; elimination of plating, or protective coatings
- Quietness of operation
- Tolerances often less critical than for metal gears, due in part to their greater resilience
- Consistency with trend to greater use of plastic housings and other components
Applications:
- Toy cars
- Windmill projects
- Basic Electronics projects
- As Robot wheels
