Description
The 16mm 6V Mini DC Planetary Gear Motor is a compact geared motor designed for robotics, smart devices, miniature mechanisms and automation projects.
Its 16mm metal planetary gearbox provides a compact combination of speed reduction and increased output torque. Multiple gear ratios are available, allowing the motor to cover applications ranging from relatively high-speed drives to low-speed, high-torque mechanisms.
The motor features a 3mm D-shaped output shaft and weighs approximately 20g, making it suitable for compact and lightweight robotic designs.

FAQ
What gear ratios are available?
Nine ratios are available from 10:1 to 360:1.
Which ratio should I choose?
Choose a lower ratio for higher output speed. Choose a higher ratio when lower speed and greater output torque are required.
Can the motor rotate in both directions?
Yes. The direction can be reversed by changing the polarity of the DC power supply.
What is the output shaft size?
The motor has a 3mm D-shaped output shaft with an approximate length of 10mm.
Is a mounting bracket included?
No. The standard package includes the motor only. A compatible L-shaped mounting bracket can be purchased separately.
