With a **no-load speed of ~99 RPM** and a chunky **stall torque of 15 kg·cm**, it’s a solid choice for small robots and mechanisms that need to push, lift, or drive heavier loads than typical hobby motors. Compatibility-wise, it runs from a **6V DC supply** and is best driven through a **proper DC motor driver**—it can draw up to **6.0A at stall**, which is far beyond what microcontroller pins or small H-bridges can handle directly. The output is a **4mm D-shaped shaft (12.5mm long)**, so you’ll want wheels, hubs, couplers or pulleys that match a 4mm D-shaft. It’s a brushed motor (not stepper/servo), so speed control is typically via PWM from a motor driver; for precise speed/position control, consider the encoder-equipped version. Practical uses include 2WD/4WD rover drive trains, compact winches and linear actuators (via leadscrew), motorised doors/arms, and classroom robotics where durability matters. Compared with lower gear ratios (e.g., ~30:1), this **99:1** version trades top speed for much higher torque and better load handling; compared with plastic gearmotors, the **metal gearbox** is tougher under repeated starts/stops and higher loads. Suggested add-ons include a suitable high-current motor driver (e.g., [Dual Motor Driver](https://littlebirdelectronics.com.au/products/dual-motor-driver)), a 6V battery pack or regulated supply (e.g., [6V Battery Pack](https://littlebirdelectronics.com.au/products/6v-battery-pack)), and 4mm D-shaft mechanical hardware like wheel hubs or couplers (e.g., [4mm D-Shaft Hub](https://littlebirdelectronics.com.au/products/4mm-d-shaft-hub)). ### Key Features - **Motor type:** Brushed DC gearmotor (high-power) - **Rated voltage:** 6V - **Gear ratio:** 98.78:1 - **No-load speed:** 99 RPM - **No-load current:** 420 mA - **Stall torque:** 15 kg·cm (210 oz·in) - **Stall current:** 6.0 A - **Gearbox:** Metal spur gears ### You Might Also Like - [Raspberry Pi 5](https://littlebirdelectronics.com.au/products/raspberry-pi-5) — $102.00 - [Hummingbird Duo micro:bit Adapter](https://littlebirdelectronics.com.au/products/hummingbird-micro-bit-adapter) — $46.00 ## Description A high-power 6V brushed DC gearmotor with a 98.78:1 metal spur gearbox. The cylindrical motor body measures just under 25mm in diameter, and the D-shaped output shaft is 4mm in diameter, extending 12.5mm from the gearbox face plate. Also available with an integrated encoder for closed-loop control.
