Overview

These tiny brushed DC gearmotors are available in a wide range of gear ratios—from 5:1 up to 1000:1—and with five different motors: high-power 6 V and 12 V motors with long-life carbon brushes (HPCB), and high-power (HP), medium power (MP), and low power (LP) 6 V motors with shorter-life precious metal brushes. The 6 V and 12 V HPCB motors offer the same performance at their respective nominal voltages, just with the 12 V motor drawing half the current of the 6 V motor. The 6 V HPCB and 6 V HP motors are identical except for their brushes, which only affect the lifetime of the motor.

The HPCB versions (shown on the left in the picture below) can be differentiated from versions with precious metal brushes (shown on the right) by their copper-colored terminals. Note that the HPCB terminals are 0.5 mm wider than those on the other micro metal gearmotor versions (2 mm vs. 1.5 mm), and they are about 1 mm closer together (6 mm vs. 7 mm).

 

 

Versions of these gearmotors are also available with an additional 1 mm-diameter output shaft that protrudes from the rear of the motor. This 4.5 mm-long rear shaft rotates at the same speed as the input to the gearbox and offers a way to add an encoder, such as our encoders for micro metal gearmotors (see the picture on the right), to provide motor speed or position feedback.

With the exception of the 1000:1 gear ratio versions, all of the micro metal gearmotors have the same physical dimensions, so one version can be easily swapped for another if your design requirements change.

Gearmotor Dimensions

In terms of size, these gearmotors are very similar to Sanyo’s popular 12 mm NA4S DC gearmotors, and gearmotors with this form factor are occasionally referred to as N20 motors. The versions with carbon brushes (HPCB) have slightly different terminal and end-cap dimensions than the versions with precious metal brushes, but all of the other dimensions are identical.

Nice shelf!
Color: Black, Size: 2 in 1
I bought this shelf to put in the bathroom, I use it for putting wash cloths on the bottom shelf and a candle on the top shelf. It was easy to put together, and it was easy to hang. I did put polyurethane on the shelves, only so that, when I cleaned it, it would be easier to wipe. Everyone that sees it, likes it.

Very nice shelf for the bathroom.

The small screws that screw into the wood shelves strip very easily. Be careful. Had to use different longer screws. Went together fine.

Very functional and sturdy. The installation wasn’t bad at all, I used a level to assist. It looks great, and all my products look organized on it.

Sturdy & Easy to Assemble!
Color: Black, Size: 2 in 1
Does not come assembled - you must assemble it, and once you do, it leans a little forward due to the hanging screws being on the top but on the bottom. It looks as shown, although dimensions are slightly different than indicated. It is 12" wide x 5" deep, and I bought the one that said it was 18" wide by 4" deep. It's sturdy enough to hold hair products and toiletries, or a small plant. Overall decent for price.
