GA12-N20 6V motor with gearbox

Product detailed description

The GA12-N20 is a compact DC motor with an all-metal gearbox for a rated voltage of 6 V. Thanks to its small 12 mm diameter and low power consumption, it is ideal for battery-powered projects – small robots, models, sliders and rotating mechanisms – where it can be powered by four AA cells, a Li-ion battery or directly from a motor driver. Choose from six variants with no-load speeds ranging from 60 to 1000 RPM; the lower the speed, the higher the torque. The 3 mm diameter output shaft features a D-flat end to ensure that mounted wheels or couplings do not slip.

Specifications:

• Application: robotics, DIY vehicles, models, automation, small drives and feeds

Package contents:

• 1× GA12-N20 6V geared motor (according to selected RPM version)

Note:

• Control the motor via an H-bridge or transistor; never connect it directly to a microcontroller output.
• The stated speeds apply to no-load conditions; they decrease under load while current consumption increases.
• Fit the wheel, pinion or coupling onto the shaft without impact – a shock to the shaft will damage the gearbox gearing.
• Do not exceed the rated voltage; higher voltage shortens the lifespan of both the gearbox and the brushes.
• This product is not a standalone functional unit and may require professional installation.
• Product images are for illustrative purposes only and may sometimes differ from the actual appearance of the item. However, this does not change their basic properties.
