Overview
This 228:1 plastic gearmotor (gearbox with motor) is a great low-cost alternative to modified hobby servos. The low-current motor is a perfect match for our qik 2s9v1 dual serial motor controller , and the compact size of 1.65″ x 0.89″ x 1.88″ (42 x 22.7 x 47.8 mm) makes this unit an attractive choice for small robot designs. The recommended operating voltage range for this motor is 3 – 12 V.
This is a higher-torque, lower-speed version of the 120:1 plastic gearmotor offset output. At 6 V, the gearbox and motor provide approximately 100 oz-in of torque and 45 RPM. The free-running current is 70 mA, and the stall current is 800 mA. The gearbox is protected by a built-in safety clutch that will typically slip before gear teeth can sheer.
This gearmotor comes pre-assembled, with the gears fully enclosed. There are built-in mounting holes, and the output shaft is 6 mm long and 7 mm in diameter with two sides flattened. The output shaft is along the same axis as the motor shaft, but offset; we also sell a similar gearmotor with a 90° output shaft.
