Description
The DC 12V 100RPM Gear Motor is a geared DC motor designed for robotics, automation, DIY electronics, and mechanical projects. It combines a DC motor with a gearbox to provide reduced rotational speed and increased output torque compared with a similar motor without gearing.
Its centre shaft design makes it suitable for compatible wheels, couplings, and mechanical drive systems. The 100 RPM speed rating is suitable for applications where controlled, relatively slow rotation is required.
Key Features
- 12V DC operation for compatible power supplies and battery systems
- 100 RPM rated speed for controlled rotation
- Centre shaft design for compatible mechanical connections
- Integrated gearbox for reduced speed and increased output torque
- Suitable for robotics, automation, and DIY projects
- Compact design for integration into compatible mechanical assemblies
- Useful for prototypes, educational projects, and motorised systems

Installation and Usage Notes
- Use a suitable 12V DC power supply.
- Check the motor’s rated current and starting or stall current before selecting a power supply or motor driver.
- Use a compatible motor driver when controlling the motor with an Arduino, ESP32, or other microcontroller.
- Confirm shaft diameter, mounting dimensions, and torque requirements before installation.
- Reversing the supply polarity typically reverses the direction of a brushed DC motor, provided the motor version supports this.
- Avoid prolonged stall conditions, which can cause excessive current and overheating.
Note: Actual torque, current consumption, shaft dimensions, and physical size depend on the specific motor model. Confirm these specifications before purchase.
