## Description

This 12 V DC geared motor (model GB37Y3530-12V-83R) pairs a powerful brushed motor with a 131:1 metal gearbox and an integrated Hall-effect quadrature encoder. The encoder provides 16 counts per revolution on the motor shaft — equivalent to 2096 counts per revolution on the gearbox output — giving precise speed and position feedback for robotics and automation projects. The 6 mm D-shaped output shaft extends 15.5 mm from the faceplate, which features six evenly spaced M3-threaded mounting holes arranged in a regular hexagon with 15.5 mm centre-to-centre spacing. The motor can begin rotating from as low as 1 V, making it suitable for variable-speed applications. Key Features 131:1 Metal Gearbox – High torque output with durable metal gears Integrated Quadrature Encoder – Hall-effect, 16 CPR (motor shaft) / 2096 CPR (gearbox shaft) High Stall Torque – 45 kg·cm 6 mm D-Shaft Output – 15.5 mm shaft length M3 Mounting Holes – Six threaded holes in a hexagonal pattern for secure mounting Specifications Operating Voltage – 12 V DC (starts from 1 V) No-Load Speed – 83 ± 10 % RPM No-Load Current – 350 mA Stall Torque – 45 kg·cm Stall Current – 7 A Encoder Supply Voltage – 5 V Encoder Type – Hall-effect quadrature Encoder Resolution – 16 CPR (motor shaft) / 2096 CPR (gearbox shaft) Insulation Resistance – 20 MΩ Gear Ratio – 131:1 Weight – 205 g Ideal For Mobile robot platforms and drive systems Precision position-control applications Automated mechanisms requiring high torque at low speed Warning: Do not screw mounting bolts more than 3 mm into the faceplate holes — deeper screws may contact the internal gears.
