## Description

This turbo worm gear motor delivers high torque through a durable metal gearbox with a 1:150 reduction ratio. The worm drive mechanism provides a self-locking output shaft that cannot be back-driven, making it ideal for applications where the load must hold position when the motor is off. Rated at 12 V with 40 RPM no-load speed and up to 8 kg·cm stall torque, this motor uses a simple two-wire connection and supports both direction control and PWM speed control via an H-bridge motor driver. Specifications Operating Voltage – 6–15 V Rated Voltage – 12 V No-Load Speed – 40 RPM No-Load Current – 35 mA Rated Speed – 32 RPM Rated Current – 180 mA Rated Torque – 2.2 kg·cm Rated Power – 1.1 W Stall Torque – 8 kg·cm Stall Current – 1 A Reduction Ratio – 1:150 Weight – 167 g Key Features Self-Locking Worm Drive – Output shaft holds position when motor is unpowered Metal Gearbox – Durable metal gears for long service life High Torque Output – Up to 8 kg·cm stall torque Two-Wire Connection – Simple wiring with direction and PWM speed control Ideal For Robotic actuators and lifting mechanisms Automated door and gate systems Camera pan/tilt platforms Linear motion applications requiring position hold Package Contents 1× Turbo Metal Gear Worm Motor (12 V, 40 RPM, 8 kg·cm) Warning: Do not stall the motor for extended periods to avoid damage to the gearbox.
