Standard Gearmotor - 2 RPM (3-12V)
These standard gearmotors are incredibly tough and feature full metal gears to help you drive wheels, gears, or almost anything else that needs to turn. They have a gear ratio of 1500:1 and operate up to 12 volts and deliver a stall torque of 1497 oz-in. and a max speed of 2 RPM. Each standard gearmotor sports a 6mm diameter D-shaft.
Important: The manufacturer has issued a warning that stalling the motor can cause gear damage. Please keep this in mind for testing & using this motor.

Core Skill: Electrical Prototyping
If it requires power, you need to know how much, what all the pins do, and how to hook it up. You may need to reference datasheets, schematics, and know the ins and outs of electronics.
Skill Level: Noob - You don't need to reference a datasheet, but you will need to know basic power requirements.

Gears easily strip
On any motor/gearhead unit, the motor should stall before it causes any damage to the gears. I've bought 4 of these and every single one of them has broken its own 30:10 internal gear. Of course you can't buy the tiny, cheap, little gear, so you have to spend another $25 on a whole new motor. These motors need a warning : APPROACHING STALL WILL BREAK THE GEARS, DON'T EXPECT TO GET MAX TORQUE. I wish I could get my money back and put it towards a real gearmotor that meets the advertised specs. Look for a motor that stalls, not shatters. Also, this products does not have "full metal gears" as advertised; open up the gear head and you'll find a plastic gear in there!
Sorry to hear that. I would suggest contacting our tech support team about this.
Works great!
This is driving a conveyor belt via a pulley and it works very nicely. It has plenty of power for this purpose.
"Motor Size: 1.30” Diameter x 1.03” Length" can be misleading. It suggests the unit is a little over an inch long. It is in fact over 2" long (the motor portion is about an inch, and the permanently-attached gearbox is another inch). I should have checked the dimensional drawing. :P
