This gearmotor is a powerful 24V brushed DC motor with a 6.25:1 metal gearbox and an integrated quadrature encoder with a resolution of 64 counts per revolution (CPR) of the motor shaft and 400 CPR of the gearbox’s output shaft. The gearbox is composed mainly of spur gears, but it features helical gears for the first stage for reduced noise and improved efficiency. These units have a 16 mm-long, 6 mm-diameter D-shaped output shaft. This gearmotor is also available without an encoder. Key specifications: voltage no-load performance stall extrapolation 24 V 1600 RPM, 100 mA 3.5 kg⋅cm (49… (Pololu item #4698)
