Description
The 6V Pololu 1000:1 Micro Metal Gearmotor is a high-torque miniature brushed DC motor with a 986.41:1 all-metal gearbox and long-life carbon brushes. Compact in size yet powerful, this motor is ideal for robotics, automation, and precision motion projects that demand very low speed and fine control.
With a free-run speed of 32 RPM at 6V, stall torque of 125 oz-in (9 kg-cm), and a 1.6 A stall current, it delivers reliable performance in small-scale mechanical systems. The 3 mm D-shaped output shaft ensures easy and secure coupling with wheels, gears, or hubs. Weighing only 10.5 g and measuring just 29.5 mm long, this gearmotor fits seamlessly into compact designs.
