{"title":"5:1 Micro Metal Gearmotor LP 6V","handle":"5-1-micro-metal-gearmotor-lp-6v","url":"/products/5-1-micro-metal-gearmotor-lp-6v","description":"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.\n\nAt 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.\n\nSpecifications\n\n\nGear Ratio – 5:1 (exact: 4.995:1)\n\nMotor Type – Low-Power (LP), precious metal brushes\n\nRated Voltage – 6 V\n\nStall Current – 0.36 A\n\nNo-Load Current – 0.02 A\n\nNo-Load Speed – 2,500 RPM\n\nStall Torque – 0.15 kg·cm (2.1 oz·in)\n\nOutput Shaft Diameter – 3 mm (D-shaped)\n\n\nCompatible Accessories\n\n\nWheels – Pololu wheels and other 3mm-shaft wheels\n\nMounting – Micro metal gearmotor bracket or extended bracket\n\n\nHub Adapters – Universal aluminium mounting hub (3mm) or 12mm hex wheel adapter\n\n\nMotor Drivers – DRV8838, DRV8833, or DRV8835 carriers\n\n\nIdeal For\n\nBattery-powered robots requiring low current draw\nHigh-speed, low-torque applications\nSmall robot platforms (Zumo, 3pi, custom builds)\n\n\nPackage Contents\n\n1× 5:1 Micro Metal Gearmotor LP 6V\n\n\n\nWarning: Stalling or overloading gearmotors can greatly decrease their lifespan or cause immediate damage. Keep applied loads well under 2 kg·cm. A general recommendation for brushed DC motors is 25% or less of the stall current.\n\n\nResources\n\nMicro Metal Gearmotor Datasheet (PDF)\nGearmotor Dimensions (PDF)\n","vendor":"Pololu","product_type":"physical","in_stock":true,"options":[],"variants":[{"id":11589,"title":"Default Title","sku":"PL-1100","price":26.5,"on_sale":false,"in_stock":true,"available_quantity":1,"option1":"Default Title"}]}
