High Speed DC Motor

This is a DC motor compatible with Lego technic parts, the speed is 2 times more than the 9g motor. The output axle is also compatible with Lego technic axles. It is suitable for driving robots that require a high speed for example in racing scenarios.

Specifications

• Operating Voltage: 3.3V~6V

• Rated Voltage: 4.8V

• Rated Current: 200mA

• Blocked Rotor Current: 1800mA

• Maximum RPM: 200rpm

• Stopping Torque: 1000g

• Weight: 44g

• Connector: Red and Black Motor Connector

Special Features:

• Uses an axle connector for output:

  • Connect to axles of different lengths to better suit your needs

• Dual outputs:

  • Has outputs axles on both sides

• High speed

  • About 3 times the RPM of the GeekServo 9g Motor

• Carbon Brushed Motor

  • Longer Lifespan and Lower Noise

Dimensions

In Lego units:

• Length: 10

• Width: 5

• Height: 3

• Output Axle: Technic Axle

In mm units:

• Length: 72mm

• Width: 39mm

• Height: 23.8mm

• Output Axle: Technic Axle

Connection

In this demonstration, Robotbit is used. It is also possible to use an Armourbit.

Robotbit

Connect the cable to the motor.

Then connect the motor cable to the motor ports of the Robotbit.

Reversing the connection would not damage the motor, but the rotational direction will be reversed.
