## Description

A miniature brushed DC motor with a 1006:1 metal gearbox and an extended back shaft for attaching optical encoders. This high-ratio gearmotor delivers very low speed with high torque, making it ideal for precision robotics, slow-motion mechanisms, and applications requiring fine positional control. All micro metal gearmotors in this range share the same physical dimensions, so different gear ratios can be swapped interchangeably without modifying your mechanical design. Specifications (1006:1 Ratio @ 6 V) Speed – 14.2 ±10% RPM Free-Run Current – 28 mA (56 mA max) Stall Torque – 5.3 kg·cm (0.52 N·m) Output Shaft – 3 mm diameter, D-shaped, 9 mm long Back Shaft – 1 mm diameter, 4.5 mm long (for optical encoders) Operating Voltage – 6 V DC Key Features 1006:1 Gear Ratio – Very high reduction for slow, high-torque operation Metal Gearbox – Durable metal gears for long service life Extended Back Shaft – 4.5 mm rear shaft for mounting optical encoder wheels Interchangeable Form Factor – Same dimensions as all micro metal gearmotors in this series D-Shaped Output Shaft – Prevents wheel slippage Ideal For Precision robotics and slow-motion mechanisms Encoder-equipped closed-loop drive systems Small mobile robots and tracked vehicles Automated mechanisms requiring high torque at low speed Resources 1006:1 Gearmotor Datasheet (PDF)
