Detailed Description:

Power your next robotics or automation project with the versatile 100 RPM Single Shaft BO Motor. This compact and high-performance DC motor is a favorite among hobbyists, students, and engineers for its perfect balance of speed and torque. Designed for efficiency, the "BO" in its name stands for "Battery Operated," highlighting its ability to provide good torque and consistent speed at a low operating voltage, making it an ideal choice for battery-powered applications.

The motor features an integrated plastic gearbox that reduces its speed to a steady 100 RPM, while significantly boosting its torque to approximately 1 kg-cm. This gives it the power needed to drive a mobile robot car, a small conveyor belt, or an actuator in a DIY automation system. With a wide operating voltage range of 3V to 12V DC and a low no-load current of 40mA to 180mA, it is energy-efficient and highly compatible with a variety of power sources. The single, straight shaft with a "D-type" profile ensures easy and secure mounting of compatible wheels and couplings.

Controlling this motor is straightforward and requires a motor driver (such as the L298N or L293D), allowing you to interface it seamlessly with popular microcontrollers like Arduino, ESP32, or Raspberry Pi. This motor driver enables full control over both the motor's speed and direction, making it a fundamental component for building two-wheel drive (2WD) robot platforms. Its lightweight design and pre-drilled mounting holes make integration into any chassis simple and hassle-free. Whether you are building a line follower, an obstacle avoider, or a remote-controlled vehicle, the 100 RPM Single Shaft BO Motor is a reliable and cost-effective solution for bringing your innovative ideas to life.

The 100 RPM Single Shaft BO Motor is a plastic gear motor typically used in robotics and electronics projects. It runs on 3V to 6V DC, delivering 100 RPM at 6V with sufficient torque for lightweight loads like chassis platforms, robotic cars, and spinning mechanisms.

Its compact size, low weight, and easy mounting holes make it suitable for educational kits, school competitions, and rapid prototyping. The single D-shaped shaft allows secure attachment to robot wheels or encoders.
