12V 1000 RPM Johnson Geared DC Motor – Grade B

The 12V 1000 RPM Johnson Geared DC Motor (Grade B) is a powerful and reliable component for any project requiring high speed and substantial torque. This DC motor comes with an integrated metal gearbox, which efficiently converts the motor’s high speed into usable torque, allowing it to handle heavier loads than a standard DC motor. Rated for a 12V power supply, it reaches a no-load speed of 1000 RPM, striking a great balance between speed and power. Hobbyists and engineers often choose this motor for its robust performance, durable construction, and ease of use in a wide array of applications, from robotics to automated machinery. Note that this is a Grade B product, which means it may have minor cosmetic imperfections but functions perfectly as intended.

Key Features:

• High Torque Output: The integrated gearbox significantly increases the motor’s torque, enabling it to move heavier objects and overcome resistance.
• Integrated Gearbox: A built-in metal gearbox is pre-assembled, saving you time and effort in finding and mounting a separate gear reduction system.
• High-Speed Operation: With a no-load speed of 1000 RPM at 12V, this motor delivers the speed needed for fast-moving applications.
• Robust Construction: Built with a durable metal body and gearbox, ensuring a long lifespan and consistent performance under demanding conditions.
• Reversible Direction: Easily control the motor’s direction by simply reversing the polarity of the power supply.
