Product Description (Detailed):
Elevate your mechanical projects with our robust 500 RPM 12V DC Geared Motor, engineered for applications demanding both moderate speed and significant power. This high torque brushed motor integrates a precision gearbox, crucial for translating the DC motor's high speed, low torque output into a powerful, controlled rotation ideal for driving heavy loads. Operating efficiently at a nominal voltage of 12V DC, this motor delivers a consistent rotational speed of 500 Revolutions Per Minute (RPM). Its integrated metal gears ensure exceptional durability and wear resistance, significantly extending the motor's lifespan even under continuous operation. Characterized by its high torque output, which can range significantly but often provides substantial kilogram-centimeters (kg-cm) of force, it's perfect for tasks requiring strong pushing, pulling, or lifting capabilities. Being a brushed DC motor, it offers straightforward speed control, typically via Pulse Width Modulation (PWM), making it highly compatible with microcontrollers like Arduino or Raspberry Pi and various motor driver boards. Common applications include robotics (e.g., drive systems for medium-sized robots, robotic arms), industrial automation (conveyor belts, actuators), DIY motorized projects, and home automation systems like automated blinds or smart locks. This geared motor is a reliable choice for projects where robust performance and efficient power transmission are paramount.
The 500 RPM 12V DC Geared Motor is a versatile, medium-speed DC motor designed for DIY electronics, robotics, and industrial automation projects. It combines a brushed DC motor with a precision metal gearhead, delivering steady torque and consistent RPM under load.
With a robust build and smooth operation, it’s the ideal motor for building robotic vehicles, automated arms, rotating platforms, and other motor-driven mechanisms. The 500 RPM rating strikes a balance between speed and torque, making it suitable for general-purpose motion control tasks.
Compatible with controllers like L298N, L293D, or BTS7960, and works seamlessly with Arduino, Raspberry Pi, and other microcontrollers.
