Clearance: This is being replaced by a functionally identical version that has a removable protective end cap over the encoder. This gearmotor consists of a low-power, 6 V brushed DC motor combined with a 226.76:1 metal spur gearbox, and it has an integrated 48 CPR quadrature encoder on the motor shaft, which provides 10,884.47 counts per revolution of the gearbox’s output shaft. The gearmotor is cylindrical, with a diameter just under 25 mm, and the D-shaped output shaft is 4 mm in diameter and extends 12.5 mm from the face plate of the gearbox. Key specifications: voltage no-load… (Pololu item #2289)
