## Description

A 1000:1 micro metal gearmotor from Pololu's popular N20-size range, featuring a high-power 6V brushed DC motor with long-life carbon brushes (HPCB). The carbon brushes offer significantly longer motor life compared to the precious metal brush (HP) version, while delivering the same performance. With the highest gear ratio in the series, this motor delivers extremely low output speeds and very high torque relative to its tiny size. At 6V with no load, the output shaft turns at approximately 33 RPM. Key Features 1000:1 Gear Ratio – Extremely low speed with very high torque output Carbon Brushes (HPCB) – Longer motor life than precious metal brush versions High-Power Motor – 1.5A stall current for strong performance N20 Form Factor – Compatible with Pololu wheels, brackets, and encoders All-Metal Gearbox – Durable spur gears for sustained operation Specifications Gear Ratio – 1000:1 (exact: 986.41:1) Nominal Voltage – 6V No-Load Speed – 33 RPM @ 6V No-Load Current – 150mA (0.15A) Stall Current – 1.5A Stall Torque – 11 kg·cm (150 oz·in) Cross Section – 10 × 12mm Output Shaft – 3mm diameter, D-shaped, 9mm long Terminal Width – 2mm (wider than precious metal brush versions) Terminal Spacing – 6mm Warning: The 1000:1 gearbox can generate enough torque to damage itself. Avoid stalling the motor. Stall torque and current values are theoretical extrapolations. Keep operating current at 25% or less of stall current to maximise motor life. Note: HPCB terminals are 0.5mm wider and 1mm closer together than HP/MP/LP versions. HPCB motors are not compatible with Pololu's older optical encoders (#2590, #2591) or older magnetic encoders (#2598), but are compatible with the newer #3081 magnetic encoders.
