DC Motor 12GA 3V 18rpm

The DC Motor 12GA 3V 18rpm is a compact 12GA DC gear motor rated for 3 V, with a very slow output speed of 18 rpm, about one turn every 3.3 seconds. The large reduction gives smooth, gentle rotation, so this small motor can move pointers, dials and displays without extra gearing while running from two AA cells.

What's in the Box

• 1 × DC Motor 12GA 3V 18rpm

Tip: At 3 V the shaft turns about a quarter turn in 0.8 seconds, so simple timed moves are easy to program, but the speed drops under load. Use a limit switch for exact stops and a low-voltage driver such as the DRV8833.
