This is the motor and encoder portion of the low-power (LP), 6 V versions of our 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 6 V 6200 RPM, 120 mA 0.15 kg⋅cm (2.1 oz⋅in), 2.0 A (Pololu item #4820)
