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 488.3:1 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 6 V 30 RPM, 150 mA 21 kg⋅cm (290 oz⋅in), 2.9 A Note: the gearbox torque limit is 70 oz-in (5 kg-cm); see detailed description for important product limitations.
