1000:1 Micro Metal Gearmotor LP 6V

The Pololu 1000:1 Micro Metal Gearmotor LP 6V is a compact and low-power gearmotor, perfect for applications that require precision control at slow speeds. This gearmotor pairs a small 6V brushed DC motor with a 986.41:1 metal gearbox, offering excellent power and flexibility for its size. It measures just 10mm by 12mm in cross section, with a 9mm long, 3mm diameter D-shaped output shaft. Please note, the stall torque and current specifications are theoretical; stalling the motor can cause damage to the gearbox.

Key specifications of this gearmotor include a 6V voltage, no-load performance of 13 RPM at 40 mA, and stall extrapolation of 5.5 kg⋅cm (equivalent to 76 oz⋅in) at 0.36 A. These specifications make it a versatile choice for a variety of applications, from robotics to automation systems.

One of the major benefits of the Pololu 1000:1 Micro Metal Gearmotor LP 6V is the fine control it offers at very low speeds. This makes it ideal for tasks that require precision and delicacy. Furthermore, its compact size and low power consumption make it a sustainable choice for projects that require long-term or continuous operation.

Another unique property of this gearmotor is its robust metal gearbox. Despite its miniature size, this gearbox can handle substantial loads, making it a reliable choice for heavy-duty applications. Remember, though, to avoid stalling the motor to prevent any potential damage to the gearbox.
