Overview
These tiny brushed DC gearmotors have a diameter of simply 6 mm and weigh just over a gram, making them great actuators for miniature robots and incredibly small mechanisms. They contain a coreless electric motor fastened to a planetary gearbox by a small clip. The gears are manufactured from liquid crystal polymers (LCPs), and gearbox’s nylon result shaft is compatible with this 14 mm tires. Three gear ratios are available:
26:1, which has a free run speed of 2500 RPM and stall torque of just one 1.5 oz-in (110 g-cm) at 6 V
136:1, that includes a free run speed of 500 RPM and stall torque of 8 oz-in (550 g-cm) at 6 V
700:1, which has a free run acceleration of 90 RPM and stall torque of 12 oz-in (900 g-cm) in 6 V
Note: Stalling or overloading gearmotors may greatly decrease their lifetimes and actually result in immediate damage. For these gearboxes, the recommended top limit for instantaneous torque is 3.5 oz-in (250 g-cm); we strongly advise keeping applied loads well under this limit. Stalls may also result in rapid (potentially on the purchase of seconds) thermal damage to the engine windings and brushes; a general recommendation for brushed DC electric motor operation is 25% or much less of the stall current.
The intended nominal operating voltage for these motors is 3 V to 6 V, though generally, these types of motors can be used at voltages outdoors this range (rotation typically starts between 0.2 V and 0.3 V). Lower voltages might not be useful, and higher voltages could begin negatively influencing the life of the motor. When operating at 3 V, the free-run velocity, stall torque, and stall current will all end up being about 50 % of what they are at 6 V as these specifications scale approximately linearly with voltage.
Since the gearmotor’s output shaft is nylon, there may be small variances in the diameter from unit to unit. These variations might cause press-match attachments like our 14 mm wheel to match loosely in some instances. If you experience a loose fit, you could attempt swapping tires or using a small dab of glue to greatly help contain the wheel on.
Gearmotor dimensions
The following diagram shows the micro plastic gearmotor dimensions in mm. The planetary gearbox includes a D-shaped plastic output shaft, which is 2 mm in diameter with a section that’s flattened by 0.5 mm. The “D” part of the shaft is certainly 2.5 mm long. The electric motor measures 6 mm in diameter and 9.3 mm long, and the gearbox length, labeled “L” in the diagram below, depends upon the gear ratio.
26 RPM Planetary Gear Motor with encoder: compatibility
This small 12V motor includes a magnetic encoder mounted prior to the gearbox for a better resolution. Its 4 mm output shaft makes it compatible with lots of ep mounts and component, which includes clamping hubs, Planetary electric motor mounts, along with 4 mm toothed tires and pinion gears.

Spur Equipment vs. Planetary Gear
The two most common setup of DC electric motor gearbox are spur and planetary. Spur type gearbox are simpler, less costly, and work greatest for low torque applications. Torque capability of spur type gearbox is bound because each equipment in the teach bears different load. Planetary gearboxes, in contrast, share equivalent load over multiple gears, making them stronger for high torque program.
