Gear Motor 2 - 224:1 Offset Shaft

Gear Motor 2 - 224:1 Offset Shaft
GM2 with GMW

This 224:1 gearmotor is very comparable to a hobby servo for power, at a fraction of the cost!

This motor offers 48.6 in*oz of torque at 3V, rotating 360 degrees every 1.5 seconds (24 rpm - just a hair slower than a servo), drawing 400mA at stall (free running at 40mA).

With a 7mm double-flat output shaft (avoid using the "D" output - it's not meant to take rotational load), and a built-in clutch (limiting at 60 in*oz (4.32 kg-cm), but easily "locked"), and built-in mounting screw holes, you can see why these are nice motors!

These units have an overall size of 55mm (2.17") x 48mm (1.89") x 22.7mm (0.894") thick, while only weighing 31.4 grams or 1.11 ounces.

This particular motor is hackable from 224:1 to 14:1. Details here! (external site)

Do you need to mount something to the shaft of the motor? Try the GMW - it's a very effective platform for a variety of uses. Alternatively, you'll also find that a #2x1/4" SMS screw will provide a snug fit for your need.

Motors are sold individually, wheels are not included.
