Detailed Description:
For projects demanding exceptional power and precise, slow movement, the 10 RPM 12V DC Geared Motor is the perfect solution. Unlike standard DC motors, this motor is equipped with a high-quality, robust metal gear system, which is a critical feature for applications requiring maximum durability and a very high torque output. The metal gears are designed to withstand significant load and continuous operation without the wear and tear issues common with plastic-geared counterparts, ensuring a much longer operational lifespan.
Operating at a low speed of just 10 RPM, this motor is engineered to provide a powerful and controlled rotation. It's the ideal choice for heavy-duty robotics, such as a robotic arm's lifting mechanism or the wheels on a sturdy, slow-moving robot platform. With a substantial torque rating—some models can deliver up to 18 kg-cm—this motor can handle tasks that other motors simply cannot. Its 12V DC operating voltage is a standard for many battery packs and power supplies, making it easy to integrate into your circuit.
While the metal gears may produce slightly more noise than plastic ones, this is a minor trade-off for the superior strength and reliability they provide. The motor's low-noise design minimizes operational sound without compromising performance. It's a fundamental component for professional-grade projects in industrial automation, security camera pan-and-tilt systems, smart home actuators, and a wide variety of educational and DIY applications. Whether you're building a complex robotic system or a simple, heavy-duty mechanism, this 10 RPM 12V DC Geared Motor is a reliable and powerful choice for your engineering and robotics projects.
This 10 RPM DC Geared Motor provides high torque output at very low speeds, making it ideal for precise automation systems and robotics. It operates on 6–12V DC, with 12V delivering optimal performance. The built-in metal or nylon gear reducer ensures smooth and powerful output.
Commonly used in line-following robots, turntables, display stands, and DIY home automation systems, this motor is compatible with most Arduino motor driver boards, such as L298N and L293D.
