## Description

A 6V brushed DC motor with a 20:1 metal gearbox and an integrated quadrature encoder. The encoder provides 11 counts per revolution of the motor shaft, corresponding to 224.4 counts per revolution of the gearbox output — giving precise speed and position feedback for closed-loop motor control. The D-shaped output shaft is 4 mm diameter × 8 mm long. The motor starts rotating from as low as 1V, with a rated voltage of 6V. Key Features 20:1 Metal Gearbox – Durable all-metal gear reduction Integrated Quadrature Encoder – 224.4 PPR at gearbox output 6V Rated Voltage – Starts from as low as 1V 300 RPM No-Load Speed – At 6V 3.6 kg·cm Stall Torque – High torque for its size 4 mm D-Shaft Output – 8 mm length Specifications Motor Rated Voltage – 6V Encoder Rated Voltage – 3.3 / 5V Gear Ratio – 1:20 No-Load Speed – 300 RPM @ 0.1A Max Efficiency Point – 0.7 kg·cm / 245 RPM / 1.2W / 0.4A Max Power Point – 1.8 kg·cm / 160 RPM / 2W / 0.8A Stall Torque – 3.6 kg·cm Stall Current – 2.7A Encoder Resolution – 11 CPR (motor shaft) / 224.4 PPR (gearbox output) Dimensions – 50 × Ø24.4 mm Weight – 96 g Ideal For Mobile robot drive systems Closed-loop speed and position control Encoder-based odometry and navigation
