Instead of simply driving a motor open-loop, your microcontroller can count encoder pulses to track wheel rotation and speed for more accurate navigation and speed control.The motor uses a durable plastic gear train with a 1:48 ratio, making it suitable for small chassis, classroom robots and educational projects. The onboard Hall sensor reads a magnetic plate: detecting the South pole outputs a high level, while detecting the North pole outputs a low level.It runs from a flexible 4.5V to 9V supply and uses a 6-pin detachable cable interface for tidy wiring to a motor driver or development board. This is the same motor and encoder assembly used in SparkFun XRP and AgXRP kits.Please note: this product includes a single motor only. Most wheeled robotics projects will require at least two motors.Features:Integrated encoder: Hall effect speed encoder for tracking motor rotation and speed.Plastic gear train: 1:48 ratio for a balance of speed and torque in small-scale builds.Power Compatibility: Operates smoothly on a flexible 4.5V to 9V supply, making it easy to power with standard battery packs or motor drivers.Easy Wiring: Features a 6-pin detachable cable interface for clean routing and easy connection to your motor driver or development platform.XRP Ready: This is the exact same high-quality motor and encoder assembly utilized in SparkFun XRP and AgXRP kits.Single motor: Includes one motor.Specifications:Dimension (single motor): 80mm x 22.4mm x 25.8mmVoltage: 4.5~9VGear Ratio: 1:48No Load RPM: 140RPM @4.5VNo Load Current: 0.15AStall Torque: 0.15N.MStall Current: 0.75A @6VAll at 6V - as tested in-house:No load speed: 240RPMNo load current: 100mAStall torque: 1kg-cmStall current: 700mAEncoder resolution: 585 counts per revolution **Product Type:** DC Gearmotor ## Images - [Image 1](https://littlebirdelectronics.com.au/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/BAh7BkkiC19yYWlscwY6BkVUewdJIglkYXRhBjsAVGkDgMICSSIIcHVyBjsAVEkiDGJsb2JfaWQGOwBG--119001292d1c06c4b1d40cd4373d48907e436ec5/31141-Hobby-Motor-Encoder-Feature-Cable_4.jpg) - [Image 2](https://littlebirdelectronics.com.au/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/BAh7BkkiC19yYWlscwY6BkVUewdJIglkYXRhBjsAVGkDgcICSSIIcHVyBjsAVEkiDGJsb2JfaWQGOwBG--629a69fbe2b5799e23c443a4bb36b90d203f52d0/31141-Hobby-Motor-Encoder-Side-Cable.jpg) - [Image 3](https://littlebirdelectronics.com.au/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/BAh7BkkiC19yYWlscwY6BkVUewdJIglkYXRhBjsAVGkDgsICSSIIcHVyBjsAVEkiDGJsb2JfaWQGOwBG--5a8ebb408fd846e9b6dc7c321d24958b74cdee45/31141-Hobby-Motor-Encoder-Feature-2.jpg) - [Image 4](https://littlebirdelectronics.com.au/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/BAh7BkkiC19yYWlscwY6BkVUewdJIglkYXRhBjsAVGkDg8ICSSIIcHVyBjsAVEkiDGJsb2JfaWQGOwBG--ae518de63366b0bfe6ffb1c77ab334a2715cf23a/31141-Hobby-Motor-Encoder-Back.jpg) - [Image 5](https://littlebirdelectronics.com.au/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/BAh7BkkiC19yYWlscwY6BkVUewdJIglkYXRhBjsAVGkDhMICSSIIcHVyBjsAVEkiDGJsb2JfaWQGOwBG--af07f5edb54e1255feb52f98a6a31213a85efceb/31141-Hobby-Motor-Encoder-Feature.jpg) - [Image 6](https://littlebirdelectronics.com.au/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/BAh7BkkiC19yYWlscwY6BkVUewdJIglkYXRhBjsAVGkDhcICSSIIcHVyBjsAVEkiDGJsb2JfaWQGOwBG--c8457c4796c9a1afcd04a5d9dc0e4109507580fc/31141-Hobby-Motor-Encoder-Frong.jpg) - [Image 7](https://littlebirdelectronics.com.au/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/BAh7BkkiC19yYWlscwY6BkVUewdJIglkYXRhBjsAVGkDhsICSSIIcHVyBjsAVEkiDGJsb2JfaWQGOwBG--efc7a15dfdfeeac7cb17f7d82563488639e7631f/31141-Hobby-Motor-Encoder-Side.jpg) - [Image 8](https://littlebirdelectronics.com.au/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/BAh7BkkiC19yYWlscwY6BkVUewdJIglkYXRhBjsAVGkDh8ICSSIIcHVyBjsAVEkiDGJsb2JfaWQGOwBG--00072753284bb831bed2126d08a446f26e2dbd31/30714-AgXRP-Kit-Motor-Cable-2.jpg) --- ## Finding & Searching Products If a part listed here isn't quite what you need, you can search Little Bird Electronics' full catalogue: - **Search by keyword:** `GET https://littlebirdelectronics.com.au/products.md?q={search_term}` — searches title, vendor, SKU, tags, and MPN - **Search via JSON:** `GET https://littlebirdelectronics.com.au/products.json?q={search_term}` — structured JSON results - **Browse by collection:** `GET https://littlebirdelectronics.com.au/collections/{handle}.json` — products in a specific collection - **Filter in-stock only:** `GET https://littlebirdelectronics.com.au/products.md?q={term}&in_stock=1` - **Individual product detail:** `GET https://littlebirdelectronics.com.au/products/{handle}.md` — full specs, pricing, stock levels, variants Search supports multi-word queries (AND logic).
