5:1 Micro Metal Gearmotor LP 6V
We have ✅ 1 available of the PL-1100 in our Sydney warehouse.
A Pololu micro metal gearmotor with a 5:1 gear ratio and low-power (LP) 6V motor. The LP motor variant uses precious metal brushes and draws the least current of the micro metal gearmotor family, making it well-suited for battery-powered projects where efficiency matters more than peak torque.
At the 5:1 ratio, this is the fastest variant in the LP range, delivering 2,500 RPM no-load speed. The standard Pololu micro metal gearmotor form factor (sometimes called N20) is compatible with a wide range of Pololu wheels, mounting brackets, and encoders.
