12V/0.2Kg-cm/230RPM 10:1 DC Gear Motor
Product Description
The 3254 is a 12 volt gear motor, generating 0.2 Kg-cm of torque at 230 RPM. It’s a small, inexpensive motor that can output a small amount of power. It is very efficient for its size, so less power is lost in the form of heat.
This family of motors (3254, 3255, 3256, 3257) have the same gearbox type and mounting metrics as the (3258, 3259, 3260) family of motors.
Motor Controller and Connection
The 3254 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.
