Detailed Description:
Drive your innovative compact projects with precision and efficiency using our 100 RPM L-Shape BO Motor – 6V DC Right Angle Geared Motor. This popular and versatile motor is engineered to provide controlled rotational motion at a moderate speed, making it an excellent choice for a wide array of robotics, automation, and DIY applications where space optimization and reliable performance are key.
The L-Shape BO (Battery Operated) Motor integrates a high-speed DC motor with a precisely designed plastic gearbox. This gearbox is crucial for reducing the motor's initial speed to a steady 100 Revolutions Per Minute (RPM) while significantly amplifying the output torque. This allows the motor to drive wheels, move light loads, or operate mechanisms that require a balance of speed and power. Operating optimally on a 6V DC power supply, it's ideal for projects powered by batteries or low-voltage adapters.
A standout feature is its L-shape, or right-angle, gearbox configuration. This design positions the output shaft perpendicular to the main body of the motor. This unique orientation offers significant advantages in terms of design flexibility, allowing for more compact product footprints and streamlined mechanical assemblies where a straight-shaft motor might be impractical. While featuring durable plastic gears, these motors are renowned for their low noise operation and excellent cost-effectiveness, making them a go-to choice for hobbyists and educational kits.
Common applications for our 100 RPM L-Shape BO Motor include:
-
Robotic Car Platforms: Ideal for driving wheels on various DIY robotic chassis, including line-follower robots, obstacle-avoiding robots, and other small mobile robots.
-
Automated Mechanisms: Perfect for small automation projects such as automated gates, simple conveyor belts, or smart dispensing systems where moderate speed and controlled torque are needed.
-
Educational Robotics: An indispensable component in STEM learning kits, helping students understand the principles of motors, gearing, and motion control.
-
Interactive Models: Bringing movement to custom-built models, automated toys, or creative art installations.
-
Camera Sliders/Pan-Tilt: For smooth and consistent movement in lightweight camera or sensor positioning systems.
Easily controlled with microcontrollers like Arduino or Raspberry Pi (when paired with a suitable motor driver like L298N or L293D), the 100 RPM L-Shape BO Motor is a reliable, user-friendly, and efficient solution for adding controlled motion to your inventions.
The 100 RPM L-Shape BO Motor is a plastic-geared 6V DC motor that offers a balanced combination of speed and torque, making it ideal for robotics and automation tasks where space is limited. Its L-shaped gear housing allows for side-mounting on chassis or robotic arms without increasing height.
Commonly used in line-followers, obstacle-avoiding robots, and remote-controlled vehicles, this motor can be powered via standard motor drivers such as L293D or L298N, and works well with BO wheels and brackets.
