Micro 6V 160RPM 120:1 DC Geared Motor w/ Encoder
Description
- Micro DC geared motor with encoder
- Motor with a 120:1 gearbox
- 160rpm
- integrated quadrature encoder
- Ideal option for mobile robot projects
The Micro 6V 160RPM 120:1 DC Geared Motor w/ Encoder is a motor with a 120:1 gearbox and an integrated quadrature encoder that provides a resolution of 16 pulses single per round giving a maximum output of 1920 within one round. With an Arduino controller and motor driver, applications for this include a closed-loop PID control or PWM motor speed control.
This motor is an ideal option for mobile robot projects. The copper output shaft, embedded thread and reinforced connector greatly extends the motor's service life.

fils très solides, ils ne se dénudent pas très facilement. Super moteur !
very strong threads, they don't strip very easily. Great motor!
The encoder works perfectly, I used it for several our to do precise positioning without any drift or problem. The only small thing is that the count per revolution in the description is not really accurate I had to tune it a little bit. I used the motor at 20% duty cycle on 12v for several hour and it have enough torque for most small robot related application.
Le codeur fonctionne parfaitement, je l'ai utilisé plusieurs fois pour faire un positionnement précis sans dérive ni problème. La seule petite chose est que le nombre par tour dans la description n'est pas vraiment précis, j'ai dû régler un peu. J'ai utilisé le moteur à un cycle de charge de 20% sur 12v pendant plusieurs heures et il dispose d'un couple suffisant pour la plupart des applications liées aux robots.
