12V/3.0Kg-cm/78RPM 51:1 DC Gear Motor w/Encoder

Product Description

The 3263E is a 12 volt gear motor, generating 3.06 Kg-cm of torque at 78 RPM. This motor is quite compact considering the amout of power it can output.

This motor comes equipped with an E4P US Digital Encoder, which keeps track of the motor’s rotation, allowing you to control your motor precisely.

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 3263E DC motor connects to either of the following controllers:

  • 1064 – PhidgetMotorControl HC

  • 1065 – PhidgetMotorControl 1-Motor

If you decide to use the 1065, you can connect the encoder directly into its encoder input. If you decide to use the 1064, you’ll also need one of the following devices to read your encoder:

  • 1047 – PhidgetEncoder HighSpeed 4-Input

  • 1057 – PhidgetEncoder HighSpeed

You’ll need to solder wires to the contacts of the motor in order to connect it to a controller.

Comes packaged with

  • 3032 – E4P Encoder Cable
