❓Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is the working voltage range for the yellow DC gear motor?
The motor operates within a flexible working voltage range of 3.0V to 12.0V DC, allowing it to adapt to various battery configurations and power supply outputs in DIY or toy car projects.
2. What are the load speed and torque specifications for these models?
Depending on the model, the load speed ranges from 40 rpm (at 3.0V rated voltage) to 87 rpm (at 4.5V rated voltage), with a rated load torque output between 0.066 N.m and 0.120 N.m respectively.
3. Are the plastic wheels durable enough for rough surfaces?
These plastic wheels are designed specifically for toy cars, smart robot platforms, and educational DIY projects, offering excellent traction on typical flat indoor surfaces and light outdoor pathways.
4. Can I control this motor using microcontrollers like Arduino?
Yes, these DC gear motors are highly compatible with Arduino, Raspberry Pi, and other microcontrollers using standard motor driver modules (such as the L298N or L293D) to manage direction and speed.
5. What is the difference between SGP01S-A130-14150 and SGP01S-A130-18100?
The 14150 model provides a higher no-load speed of 100 rpm under 4.5V rated voltage, while the 18100 model runs at 50 rpm under 3.0V rated voltage but offers higher torque output capabilities.
6. Does the gear motor have a dual output shaft configuration?
Yes, this yellow DC gear motor commonly features a dual-axis output shaft layout, which is ideal for mounting wheel encoders on one side and the wheel on the other side for precise movement tracking.
