Detailed Product Description:
For any robotics or automation project requiring a powerful, yet slow and controlled rotation, the 30RPM 12V Centre Shaft Geared DC Motor is the perfect solution. This robust component is engineered to deliver exceptional torque by leveraging an internal metal gearbox, which reduces the output speed to just 30 revolutions per minute while multiplying the turning force. This makes it an ideal choice for applications where high torque is more critical than speed, such as driving robot wheels on uneven terrain, lifting components with a robotic arm, or powering industrial machinery and automated systems.
Operating on a nominal voltage of 12V DC, this motor provides reliable and consistent performance, drawing a relatively low no-load current. The metal gears within the gearbox are a key technical feature, ensuring superior durability and wear resistance compared to plastic counterparts. This makes the motor suitable for heavy-duty applications and guarantees a longer operational life. The center shaft design with a pre-drilled hole simplifies mechanical assembly, allowing you to easily connect wheels, pulleys, or couplings.
This high torque motor is compatible with standard motor drivers like the L298N H-bridge and can be easily controlled with popular microcontrollers such as Arduino and Raspberry Pi. With a stall torque that can exceed 20 kg-cm in some models, it provides the brute force needed to prevent stalling under heavy loads. Whether you are an educational institution building a teaching tool, a hobbyist creating a DIY project, or a professional developing a commercial prototype, this geared DC motor delivers the perfect combination of strength, control, and reliability.
The 30 RPM DC Geared Motor (12V) is a high-quality, compact, and robust DC motor with a metal gear reduction box, designed for precision and torque-intensive applications. Its low output speed and high torque make it ideal for mobile robots, conveyor systems, grippers, and automatic machines.
Made with high-durability materials, this motor is capable of long continuous operation and can be easily interfaced with Arduino, motor drivers like L298N, L293D, and relay control boards. It operates silently with minimal vibration, ensuring smooth performance in sensitive robotics setups.
