A miniature brushed DC motor with an 11:1 metal gearbox, fitted with a solderless push header shim for easy prototyping — no soldering required. Simply connect with jumper wires and you're ready to go. The compact form factor and D-shaped metal output shaft make it ideal for small robotics and mechatronics projects.
All micro metal gearmotors share the same physical dimensions, so you can easily swap between gear ratios as your design requirements change.

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.
- 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.
