DFROBOT 6V Micro Metal Geared Motor with Encoder, 50:1 Ratio

The DFROBOT 6V Micro Metal Geared Motor with Encoder is a compact and highly precise component designed for robotics, automation, and detailed motion control projects. Operating at 6V DC, this robust motor integrates a high-precision encoder and a durable metal gearbox with a 50:1 reduction ratio, allowing for accurate position and speed feedback—an essential feature for applications requiring exact movement.

Built from strong metal materials, this micro motor offers an outstanding balance of power and size. Despite its compact 12mm motor diameter, it achieves a maximum rotational speed of 15,000 rpm (before gearing) and a maximum torque output of 0.034 N-m, providing reliable performance for driving wheels, conveyor belts, robotic arms, and other mechanisms in tight spaces.

Its integrated optical encoder delivers precise feedback, enabling closed-loop control systems to maintain accurate positioning and consistent speed. This makes the motor ideal for advanced applications like CNC machines, automated guided vehicles (AGVs), 3D printer axis drives, and custom robotics where repeatability is critical.

With overall dimensions of 33mm wide, 15mm deep, and 43mm high, it is perfectly suited for integration into compact electronic enclosures and prototypes. The combination of metal gearing, a 6V operational voltage, and encoder feedback results in a motor that is both powerful and intelligent, offering long-term durability and precise control for hobbyists, educators, and professional engineers alike.
