Adafruit CD DVD Spindle Motor

What's this? A record player for ants? Not at all! This is a DVD/CD Spindle Motor, the powerhouse inside a CD or DVD player that swiftly spins the disc.

Perfectly balanced and equipped with a mostly flat end, it can be easily affixed to surfaces using tape or glue. Experience minimal vibration for a quieter operation compared to standard 130-style DC hobby motors. With a swift speed of 3500 RPM at full power, you can use a PWM motor driver for speed adjustments.

The motor efficiently operates at a free running current of 20 mA and can handle a current load of 400 mA when stalled, with a recommended voltage range of 3V to 6V DC. It includes a plastic hub for easy attachment, making it a versatile addition to your projects.

Control this motor with an array of drivers like the CRICKIT for seamless integration, or choose from options like the Adafruit Motor Shield for Arduino, Motor HAT for Pi, Motor FeatherWing, L293D, TB6612, or DRV8833. Enhance your creative builds with this reliable motor solution.
