The 10 RPM Gear Motor is a low-speed, high-torque DC motor designed for applications that require controlled motion, precise speed, and strong torque at low RPM. Due to its built-in gearbox, it is ideal for robotics, automation, and DIY mechanical projects where smooth and steady rotation is essential.
Core Component Features
• Motor Type: DC Gear Motor
• Rated Speed: 10 RPM (no load)
• Gearbox: Integrated reduction gearbox for high torque
• Rotation: Bidirectional (by reversing polarity)
• Shaft Type: Metal shaft suitable for wheels, couplers, and gears
Electrical & Interface
• Operating Voltage: Typically 6V – 12V DC
• Current: Low current consumption (varies with load)
• Control Method: Direct DC supply or via motor driver
• Polarity Sensitive: Yes (for direction control)
Performance & Usage
• Very low speed with high torque output
• Smooth and stable rotation
• Ideal for continuous operation at low speed
• Can be controlled using PWM for speed variation
Physical & Integration
• Compact cylindrical body with plastic/metal gearbox
• Pre-attached wires for easy connection
• Shaft compatible with standard hobby wheels and couplers
• Easy mounting in robotic frames and DIY enclosures
Applications
• Line follower and robotic vehicles
• Conveyor belt models
• Turntables and display mechanisms
• Smart dustbins and door mechanisms
• DIY automation and Arduino-based projects
Pro Tip
• Use an H-bridge motor driver (L298N, L293D, BTS7960) for safe control
• Avoid stalling the motor to prevent overheating
• Use PWM for smooth speed control instead of voltage dropping
Package Includes
• 1 × 10 RPM DC Gear Motor
