DC Motor 12GA 6V 18rpm

The DC Motor 12GA 6V 18rpm is a compact DC gear motor in the 12GA size, rated for 6 V, with a very slow output speed of 18 rpm, about one turn every 3.3 seconds. The large gear reduction trades speed for torque, so this small motor can turn displays, flaps and dials slowly and smoothly without any extra gearing.

Tip: Slow motors are easy to position with simple timing: at 6 V the shaft turns about a quarter turn in 0.8 seconds, though the speed drops under load. Use a limit switch where exact stops matter, and run the motor from a driver such as the TB6612FNG or L9110S.
