This is the motor and encoder portion of our low-power (LP), 12V 25D mm metal gearmotors with 48 CPR encoders. It does not include a gearbox, but the pinion gear on the output shaft works with all of our 25D mm gearmotor gearboxes, so this can be used as a replacement motor or encoder for those gearboxes. Key specifications: voltage no-load performance stall extrapolation 12 V 5600 RPM, 60 mA 0.14 kg⋅cm (1.9 oz⋅in), 0.9 A (Pololu item #4880)
