DFROBOT 12V Geared DC Motor Brushed 40rpm, 1:150 Ratio

The DFROBOT 12V Geared DC Motor is a robust, brushed DC motor designed for reliable, high-torque applications. It utilises a durable metal worm gearbox, engineered for long service life and capable of delivering a high stall torque output. A key feature of the worm drive mechanism is that it provides self-locking; the motor's output shaft cannot be easily back-driven, making it ideal for applications requiring a secure hold or positioning.

This motor operates on a two-wire connection system, offering straightforward integration. It supports both directional control and precise PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) speed control, allowing for fine-tuned performance in a variety of projects. With a rated voltage of 12V, it achieves a no-load speed of 40 RPM, delivering consistent and controllable motion.

Its compact dimensions make it suitable for space-constrained designs, from robotics and automation to model making and educational kits. The motor's robust construction ensures it can handle demanding tasks, providing a dependable power source for mechanisms requiring significant force at low speeds.

Key Specifications & Features

• High Torque Output: Delivers a stall torque of 8 kg/cm for powerful actuation.
• Self-Locking Worm Gear: The output shaft is mechanically locked, preventing unwanted movement when power is off.
• Wide Operating Range: Functions effectively from 6V to 15V, offering flexibility in power supply.
• Speed & Direction Control: Compatible with PWM for variable speed and simple polarity reversal for direction.
• Durable Metal Gearbox: The metal gearing provides enhanced durability compared to plastic alternatives.
• Compact Design: Its small form factor allows for easy integration into various assemblies.

Important Usage Note: To ensure longevity and prevent damage to the internal gearbox, avoid stalling the motor for extended pe
