12V/0.2Kg-cm/1080RPM 3.7:1 DC Gear Motor
Product Description
The 3261 is a 12 volt gear motor, generating 0.24 Kg-cm of torque at 1080 RPM. It’s a small, inexpensive motor suitable for low torque, high speed applications. This motor is quite compact considering the amout of power it can output.
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.
Motor Controller and Connection
The 3261 DC motor connects to either of the following controllers:
- 1064 – PhidgetMotorControl HC
- 1065 – PhidgetMotorControl 1-Motor
You’ll need to solder wires to the contacts of the motor in order to connect it to a controller.
