150 RPM BO Motor – L Shape

This is a 150 RPM low-cost single shaft DC geared motor. It is most suitable for lightweight robots requiring small power. This motor can be used with a 69mm Diameter Wheel for Plastic Gear Motors and an 87mm Diameter Multipurpose Wheel for Plastic Gear Motors. The Driveshaft has a clutch for non-continuous protection from overload which protects gears from sudden overload. Motor runs smoothly from 2V to 12V and gives a wide range of RPM, and torque. The table below gives a fairly good idea of the motorâs performance in terms of RPM, no-load current as a function of voltage and stall torque, and stall current as a function of voltage.

• Shaft length: 7 mm
• Motor Design: L-Shaped
• Shaft Diameter: 5.5 mm
• Size: 55 x 48 x 23 mm.
• Operating Voltage: 3 to 12V
• Current (without loading): 40-180mA
• RPM: 150 rpm
• Output Torque: 0.8 kg-cm.

• Cost-effectiveness of the injection-moulding process.
• Elimination of machining operations.
• Low density: lightweight, low inertia.
• Uniformity of parts.
• Capability to absorb shock and vibration as a result of elastic compliance.
• Ability to operate with minimum or no lubrication, due to inherent lubricity.
• The relatively low coefficient of friction.
• Corrosion-resistance; elimination of plating, or protective coatings.
• The quietness of operation.
• Tolerances are often less critical than for metal gears, due in part to their greater resilience.
• Consistency with the trend to greater use of plastic housings and other components.
