A compact metal DC geared motor with a 478:1 reduction ratio, delivering high torque in a small form factor. Rated at 6V with a no-load speed of 15 RPM and a stall torque of 10 kg·cm, it's well-suited for robotics, pan-tilt mechanisms, and other applications requiring slow, powerful rotation.
The all-metal gearbox provides durability and consistent performance under load. The output shaft features a D-shaped profile (4mm diameter) for secure coupling to wheels, brackets, and other drivetrain components.

Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- kg·cm
- A torque unit often used for hobby servos, meaning how many kilograms of force the servo can hold at a 1 cm arm length. A higher kg·cm rating means the servo can move or hold heavier loads, but power supply current needs may also increase.
- 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.
