## Description

A compact all-metal DC gearmotor family from DFRobot, sold here as one motor in seven gear ratios. Every version shares the same 6 V brushed motor, the same 4 mm D-shaped output shaft and the same mounting footprint — the only thing that changes is the gearbox, which trades speed against torque from a slow, very strong 15 RPM / 10 kg·cm right through to a brisk 357 RPM / 0.7 kg·cm. Metal gears throughout give these a much longer life than the plastic-gearbox motors they compete with, which is why they hold up in classroom robots that get rebuilt every term. Pick the ratio by the job: high torque for lifting, driving loaded wheels and pan-tilt mechanisms; high speed for light drive wheels and anything that needs to actually get moving. Compare the seven speeds All seven are the same price and the same physical motor. No-load speed is measured at 6 V; torque figures are locked-rotor (stall).

Stall current is 0.6 A per motor, so size the driver and supply for the number of motors you are running simultaneously. If you need closed-loop speed or position control, look at the encoder versions of this motor instead. Package contents 1× Metal DC Geared Motor (6 V, in the gear ratio you select)
