Product Description (Detailed):
Unleash robust power and precise control in your robotic and automation projects with our 60 RPM-12V DC Geared Motor featuring a Centre Shaft. Engineered for demanding applications, this high torque metal gear motor is the ideal choice for driving robotic platforms, automated machinery, and intricate mechanisms where reliability is paramount. Operating efficiently at 12V DC, it delivers a controlled rotational speed of 60 revolutions per minute (RPM), perfectly balancing speed with substantial torque for heavy loads. The integrated metal gearbox ensures exceptional durability and longevity, capable of withstanding significant radial and axial forces, making it far superior to plastic gear alternatives for industrial or heavy-duty hobbyist use. Its centre shaft design with an often-threaded end simplifies mounting of wheels, pulleys, and other mechanical components, ensuring stable and secure coupling. With a typical rated torque ranging from 3.5 to 15 kg-cm (depending on specific model variations) and low no-load current, this motor offers both efficiency and power. Easily interfaced with popular motor drivers like the L298N and controllable via microcontrollers such as Arduino or Raspberry Pi, it's perfect for building DIY robot drive systems, automated gates, or even complex robotic arms requiring consistent and powerful motion. Invest in this durable metal gear motor for unparalleled performance in your high-torque applications.
The 60RPM 12V DC Geared Motor is a high-torque, low-speed brushed motor designed for use in robotics, home automation, mechanical arms, rotating platforms, and other precision systems.
Its metal gear mechanism ensures high durability under load, and the 6mm D-type output shaft allows easy mounting of wheels, pulleys, or gears. With its compact design and versatile voltage support, it’s a go-to motor for students, makers, and engineers alike.
Paired with a motor driver like L298N, this motor is ideal for PWM-based speed control and Arduino-based automation projects.
