Gear Motor 10 - Geared pager motor

81:1, 370RPM, 24.6mA (184mA stall) at 5V gives 3.6in*oz torque. Not bad, eh? And only available from Solarbotics !

These little gear motors measure 1" wide, 0.564" thick, 1.135" long and weigh in at 5 grams. The square output shaft measures 0.14" per side.

They're a bit funky in that they're not continuous rotation by default. They have a self-centering spring, so applying DC power will result in a 60 degree swing in one direction. Reversing power swings the output arm 60 degrees the other way. Remove the self-centering spring and clip the stops, and away you go!

You want to install the motors a distance away from the controller? These come with 12" stranded wire leads!

This last picture is of our micro-sumo robot (5cm cube limit), and it is QUICK on a 7.4V LiPoly battery. These wheels and motors are a great combination!

Here's a link to a short gallery showing Bob Cook's "Al the Microsumo" using the GM10. VERY nice machining. Wonder if it was done on Sherline equipment?
