3268_1 12V/17.3Kg-cm/18RPM 139:1 DC Gear Motor
The 3268 is a 12 volt gear motor, generating 17.3 Kg-cm of torque at 18 RPM. It's a standard-sized motor suitable for low-torque, high-speed applications.
Since this motor has a lower power output for its size, you can expect it to have a longer lifespan than other motors.
- 8mm Shaft
- 111.5mm Motor Length
The planetary gearbox on this motor is more sophisticated than a typical spur gearbox and will provide greater efficiency, higher torque, and quieter motor operation.
The 3268 DC motor connects to either of the following controllers:
- 1064 - PhidgetMotorControl HC
- 1065 - PhidgetMotorControl 1-Motor
