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.

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.
- motor driver
- An electronic circuit that lets a low-power controller switch and control a motor that needs more current than the controller pins can safely provide. Checking motor driver support matters because pumps and motors usually cannot be connected directly to a microcontroller output.
- PWM
- Pulse Width Modulation is a way for a digital pin to simulate variable output power by switching on and off very quickly. It matters for controlling things like LED brightness, motor speed, or servo-style signals from a microcontroller pin.
- Stall torque
- The maximum twisting force a servo can produce when its output is held still and cannot move. It helps you judge whether the servo is strong enough for a robot joint, steering linkage, or other load.
- 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.
