Product Description:
The 5203 Series Yellow Jacket Planetary Gear Motor delivers high performance and reliable operation for robotics, automation, and custom mechanical projects. Featuring a 5.2:1 planetary gearbox, this motor achieves a no-load speed of 1,150 RPM at 12 VDC while providing a robust stall torque of 7.9 kg·cm (109 oz-in). The gearbox uses durable steel gears for long-lasting performance.
Designed for versatile integration, the motor features four M4 threaded mounting holes on the 16 mm square goBILDA pattern, making it easy to mount to any compatible structure with a 14 mm shaft clearance. The output shaft is a sturdy 8 mm REX profile, 24 mm in length, compatible with the goBILDA build system and a wide range of supporting components.
Equipped with a 3.3-5 V magnetic Hall-effect quadrature encoder, the motor provides 145.1 PPR (pulses per revolution) at the output shaft, enabling precise motion control and feedback for robotic applications.
