DFRobot 6V Brushed DC Gear Motor with Encoder, 160rpm

The DFRobot FIT0450 is a high-precision, brushed 6V gear DC motor featuring an integrated quadrature encoder. This compact and robust motor is engineered for reliability in demanding robotics and automation applications, providing precise feedback for advanced control systems.

At its core is a durable 120:1 gearbox that delivers a substantial torque output from a small package. The integrated encoder provides a resolution of 16 pulses per round, yielding a maximum output of 1920 pulses per revolution of the gearbox output shaft. This high-resolution feedback is essential for implementing accurate closed-loop control algorithms, such as PID for position or PWM for speed control, when paired with an Arduino or similar microcontroller and a compatible motor driver.

Designed with longevity in mind, the motor incorporates a copper output shaft, an embedded thread for secure mounting, and a reinforced connector. These features significantly enhance durability and extend the motor's operational life, making it a dependable choice for continuous use in projects like mobile robots, automated platforms, and educational models.
