A 120:1 plastic gearmotor with a 90° output shaft — the output is perpendicular to the motor axis, making it a compact choice for small robot designs where side-mounted wheels or mechanisms are needed. The enclosed gearbox and low-current brushed DC motor run on 3–12V, with a built-in safety clutch that slips before gear teeth can shear.

At 6V, the motor delivers approximately 75 oz·in of torque at 85 RPM, with a low 70mA free-running current that makes it a good match for small motor drivers and robot controllers.

Key Features

  • 120:1 Gear Ratio – Good balance of speed and torque
  • 90° Output Shaft – Perpendicular to the motor axis for compact mounting
  • 3–12V Operating Range – Flexible voltage for different battery configurations
  • Built-In Safety Clutch – Protects gears from excessive loads
  • Enclosed Gearbox – Pre-assembled, fully enclosed gears

Specifications (at 6V)

  • No-Load Speed – 85 RPM
  • No-Load Current – 70mA
  • Stall Torque – ~75 oz·in
  • Stall Current – 800mA
  • Operating Voltage – 3–12V
  • Gear Ratio – 120:1
  • Output Shaft – 7mm diameter × 6mm long, two flattened sides, 90° to motor axis

Ideal For

  • Small robot drives with side-mounted wheels
  • Compact wheeled platforms
  • Educational robotics projects
  • Low-cost alternative to modified hobby servos

Package Contents

  • 1× 120:1 plastic gearmotor (90° output)

Jargon buster

Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.

Stall torque
The maximum twisting force a servo can produce when its output is held still and cannot move. It helps you judge whether the servo is strong enough for a robot joint, steering linkage, or other load.
Torque
A twisting force that causes something to rotate, usually measured in newton-metres or kilogram-centimetres. It matters when choosing motors, servos, gears, and tools because higher torque is needed to lift heavier loads, turn larger wheels, or move mechanisms without stalling.
