DFRobot 12V Brushed Gear DC Motor with Encoder

The DFRobot 12V Brushed Gear DC Motor is a powerful and compact motor solution designed for demanding mobile robot projects. Featuring a robust 131:1 metal gearbox, this motor delivers high torque at a manageable speed, making it ideal for driving wheels, tracks, and other robotic mechanisms.

Equipped with an integrated quadrature encoder, this motor provides precise feedback with a resolution of 16 counts per revolution of the motor shaft, corresponding to 2096 counts per revolution of the gearbox’s output shaft. This allows for accurate position and speed control in your robotics applications.

The motor features a 6mm (0.24”) D-shaped output shaft, ensuring a secure connection to gears, wheels, or couplings. It can begin rotating at voltages as low as 1V, offering flexibility in low-power applications. The face plate includes six M3 threaded mounting holes evenly spaced around the outer edge, providing versatile and secure mounting options.
