30:1 Micro Metal Gearmotor (3mm D-shaped shaft)

This gearmotor is a miniature (0.94" x 0.39" x 0.47"), high-quality, high-power motor with 30:1 metal gearbox, similar to Sanyo’s popular 12 mm gearmotors. These units have a 0.365"-long, D-shaped output shaft.

Key specs at 6 V: 1000 RPM and 120 mA free-run, 8 oz-in (0.6 kg-cm) and 1.6 A stall.

Overview

These tiny, high-quality motors are intended for use at 6 V. In general, these kinds of motors can run at voltages above and below this nominal voltage, so they should comfortably operate in the 3 – 9 V range. Lower voltages might not be practical, and higher voltages could start negatively affecting the life of the motor. All of the micro metal gearmotors have the same physical dimensions, but they come in a wide range of gear ratios—from 5:1 up to 298:1—and let you choose between two different motors: high-power (HP) and standard. This means you choose the version that has the ideal blend of speed, torque, and current-draw for your particular application. Please look at the gearmotor comparison table.
