Adafruit TT Motor Bi-Metal Gearbox - 1:90 Gear Ratio

These durable gearbox motors offer an easy, cost-effective solution to add movement to your projects. The TT DC Bi-Metal Gearbox Motor comes with a 1:90 gear ratio, effectively doubling the torque compared to the standard 1:48 ratio, allowing for greater strength at reduced speed. Ideal for robots where torque is a priority over velocity.

The output-half of the motor gears, machined from steel, enhances durability, effectively preventing stripping. Though robust, the steel gears generate more noise, so noise reduction measures may be needed for quieter operations. Capable of operating on 3VDC to 6VDC, these motors adapt performance based on input voltage; higher voltages deliver increased speed. At 3V, expect 60 RPM at no-load, and at 6V, 120 RPM.

No built-in encoders or feedback systems are integrated, so external components are necessary for precision tasks. These motors are distributed without pre-attached wires, necessitating soldering. High-current motor drivers such as the DRV8833 or the TB6612 are needed for operation, ensuring stable and reliable execution.
