Detailed Description:

Elevate your robotic and automation projects with our versatile BO Motor 100 RPM Double Shaft Straight – DC Geared Motor. This popular "Battery Operated" (BO) series motor is an essential component for hobbyists, students, and engineers seeking a balanced combination of moderate speed and reliable torque. Its dual shaft straight design offers exceptional flexibility for various mechanical setups.

At its core, this DC geared motor integrates a high-speed DC motor with a precisely engineered plastic gearbox. This gearbox effectively reduces the motor's high internal RPM to a consistent 100 Revolutions Per Minute (RPM) at the output shafts. Simultaneously, it significantly multiplies the torque, enabling the motor to easily drive robot wheels, activate mechanisms, or overcome friction in mechanical systems. Operating efficiently across a common voltage range of 3V to 12V DC (often recommended at 6V or 9V), these motors are ideal for battery-powered applications, drawing relatively low current.

The standout feature of this motor is its double shaft straight design. This means output shafts extend directly from both the front and rear of the gearbox. This dual output capability provides immense design flexibility:

• Balanced Drivetrains: Easily mount wheels on both sides for a symmetrical and stable robot chassis (e.g., 2WD or 4WD platforms).

• Encoder Integration: Attach an encoder to one shaft for precise feedback on speed and position, while the other shaft drives the load.

• Driving Multiple Mechanisms: Simultaneously power two independent components or gear systems from a single motor.

Built with a durable plastic gearbox, these motors are celebrated for their cost-effectiveness, lightweight nature, and quiet operation. While plastic gears are well-suited for typical educational and hobbyist robot applications, they also offer good shock absorption. The 100 RPM speed provides a good balance for mobile robots, allowing for reasonably quick movement while maintaining sufficient torque for navigating various terrains. Pre-drilled mounting holes on the motor body ensure easy and secure integration into your custom frames and platforms.

Whether you're building a line-following robot, an obstacle-avoiding smart car, a custom automation device, or an educational robotics kit, the 100 RPM Double Shaft Straight BO Motor is a reliable and efficient choice. Its robust performance and versatile design make it a staple for any maker's toolkit.

This 100 RPM Double Shaft BO Motor is a lightweight and cost-effective plastic geared motor running at 100 rotations per minute at 6V DC. It features shafts on both sides, allowing users to mount rotary encoders, optical sensors, or balancing wheels for enhanced control and tracking.

It is widely used in robotic chassis, smart cars, mini conveyor belts, and line-following robots, and works perfectly with L293D or L298N motor drivers. Compatible with standard BO motor wheels and clamps, it is ideal for students, makers, and educators in robotics and STEM learning.
