DC Motor 12GA Exposed Gear 3V 15rpm

The DC Motor 12GA Exposed Gear is a micro gear motor in the 12GA size, the same small class as the popular N20 motor, with an open gear train where the gears are visible rather than enclosed. This version is rated for 3 V and turns at only about 15 rpm at the output shaft, one of the slowest speeds in the range, so it suits parts that should rotate slowly and smoothly. Two AA cells are enough to power it.

What's in the Box

• 1 × DC Motor 12GA Exposed Gear 3V 15rpm

Tip: Keep the open gears clean and away from hair and loose wires, as a jam can strip the teeth. Power it from two AA or AAA cells (about 3 V), and if you need to change direction from a microcontroller, use a small motor driver such as the DRV8833 instead of a GPIO pin.
