Product Description (Detailed):
Unleash precise, controlled motion in your miniature designs with our N20 6V 30 RPM Micro Metal Gear Motor. This incredibly compact yet powerful motor is a favorite among hobbyists, roboticists, and engineers for its ability to deliver high torque at a very low speed, making it ideal for a multitude of applications where fine control and strength in a small package are paramount.
The N20 motor is characterized by its small size (typically 10x12mm cross-section) combined with a robust all-metal gearbox. This integrated gearbox is crucial; it reduces the motor's high internal speed to a mere 30 Revolutions Per Minute (RPM) while simultaneously multiplying the torque significantly. Operating efficiently at 6V DC, this motor provides ample power for various mechanisms without drawing excessive current.
The inherent high torque of this micro metal gear motor makes it perfectly suited for:
-
Robotics: Driving wheels of mini robots, articulated joints in small robotic arms, or miniature grippers where precision and holding power are critical.
-
DIY Models: Powering components in scale models, intricate animatronics, or custom-built mechanical toys requiring slow, deliberate movement.
-
Precision Automation: Ideal for applications like electronic door locks, small conveyor systems, camera sliders for smooth motion, or micro-actuators in sensitive equipment.
The N20 6V 30 RPM motor boasts excellent stall characteristics, meaning it can maintain a significant amount of torque even when resisting external forces, making it capable of "climbing hills easily" or holding positions reliably. Its durable metal gears ensure a long operational lifespan, making it a reliable choice for continuous use. If you need a compact, efficient, and high-torque solution for precise motion control in your next project, the N20 6V 30 RPM Micro Metal Gear Motor is the perfect fit.
The N20 6V 30RPM Micro Metal Gearbox Motor is a compact, high-precision DC gear motor designed for low-speed, high-torque applications. With a metal gear reduction system and slim cylindrical body, this motor fits perfectly in compact spaces without sacrificing power.
Commonly used in Arduino-based robotic arms, RC vehicles, automatic door mechanisms, and lock control systems, it offers smooth and stable rotation at just 30 RPM, allowing for precise mechanical control.
This motor is compatible with standard motor driver ICs (L293D, L298N, TB6612FNG) and microcontrollers, making it a go-to solution for both hobbyists and prototyping professionals.
