Approximate specifications at 6 V: free-run speed of 11,500 RPM, free-run current of 70 mA, and stall current of 800 mA. ## Pricing - **Price:** $5.10 (inc GST) — $4.64 AUD, exc GST - **Quantity discounts:** 10+ $4.45 (exc GST) · 25+ $4.31 (exc GST) ## Availability & dispatch - Available with a lead time — expect dispatch between Aug 21 and Aug 24. ## How to buy - **Build a cart:** compose `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link?items=POLOLU-1117:1` (comma-separated SKU:qty pairs) and share the link. Opening it shows a confirmation page with live pricing and stock before anything is added to the cart. - **Verify the cart first:** fetch `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link/POLOLU-1117:1.md` for live line prices (inc & exc GST, quantity discounts applied), stock and dispatch estimates, and totals. Append `/to/{AU-postcode}` (or `/to/{country-code}:{postcode}`) before `.md` for delivery options and prices to that destination. Unknown, retired, or out-of-stock SKUs are flagged. (Query form `cart/link.md?items=...` also works but some robots parsers refuse query strings here.) - **Checkout** is completed on-site and includes a captcha at the payment step. Share the cart link; checkout takes it from there. - **Search the catalogue:** `https://core-electronics.com.au/search/{query}.md` (URL-encode the query; pages 2-3 at `search/{query}/{page}.md`; `search.md?q=` also works) - **Payment methods, purchase orders, policies and contact details:** https://core-electronics.com.au/llms.txt ## Description This is the 130-size DC motor used in the larger Pololu plastic gearmotors ([228:1 offset](https://core-electronics.com.au/228-1-plastic-gearmotor-offset-output.html), [120:1 offset](https://core-electronics.com.au/120-1-plastic-gearmotor-offset-output.html), [200:1 90-degree](https://core-electronics.com.au/200-1-plastic-gearmotor-90-output.html), and [120:1 90-degree](https://core-electronics.com.au/120-1-plastic-gearmotor-90-output.html)). It has a recommended operating voltage of 3 – 12 V; at 6 V, the no-load speed is about 11,500 RPM, the no-load current is approximately 70 mA, and the stall current is around 800 mA. For an estimate of the torque, note that the Pololu 228:1 plastic gearmotor produces roughly 100 oz-in of torque at 6 V using this motor, and the Pololu 120:1 plastic gearmotors produce roughly 75 oz-in of torque at 6 V. The output shaft has a diameter of 2 mm. This motor is not as electrically noisy as the [FA-130 motor](https://core-electronics.com.au/tamiya-980112m-mabuchi-fa-130-motor.html) used in many of the [Tamiya gearboxes](https://core-electronics.com.au/category/34/tamiya-motors-and-gearboxes), and it draws much less current. The two motors are the same size and have similar output power, but, with double the voltage and half the current, these units are generally more convenient to use. If you would like to use lower-current motor controllers with the Tamiya gearboxes, you can simply replace the original Tamiya motor with this and you’ll be set! (Tamiya gearboxes that work with this motor include the popular [70168 Double Gearbox](https://core-electronics.com.au/tamiya-70168-double-gearbox-kit.html) and [70097 Twin-Motor Gearbox](https://core-electronics.com.au/tamiya-70097-twin-motor-gearbox-kit.html).) These motors can also be used to replace those found in the Solarbotics [GM2](https://core-electronics.com.au/solarbotics-gm2-224-1-gear-motor-offset-output.html), [GM3](https://core-electronics.com.au/solarbotics-gm3-224-1-gear-motor-90-deg-output.html), [GM8](https://core-electronics.com.au/solarbotics-gm9-143-1-gear-motor-90-deg-output.html), and [GM9](https://core-electronics.com.au/solarbotics-k-sv-sumovore-mini-sumo-kit.html) gearboxes. **People often buy this product together with:** | [![Tamiya 70097 Twin-Motor Gearbox Kit](https://core-electronics.com.au/attachments/localcontent/0J4708_42229d371e.jpg)](https://core-electronics.com.au/tamiya-70097-twin-motor-gearbox-kit.html) | [Tamiya 70097 Twin-Motor Gearbox Kit](https://core-electronics.com.au/tamiya-70097-twin-motor-gearbox-kit.html) | |---|---| | [![Tamiya 70157 Universal Plate Set (2pcs.)](https://core-electronics.com.au/attachments/localcontent/0J2707_3112da6d75.jpg)](https://core-electronics.com.au/tamiya-70157-universal-plate-set-2pcs.html) | [Tamiya 70157 Universal Plate Set (2pcs.)](https://core-electronics.com.au/tamiya-70157-universal-plate-set-2pcs.html) | |---|---| | [![Tamiya 70100 Track and Wheel Set](https://core-electronics.com.au/attachments/localcontent/0J2710_54037e401c.jpg)](https://core-electronics.com.au/tamiya-70100-track-and-wheel-set.html) | [Tamiya 70100 Track and Wheel Set](https://core-electronics.com.au/tamiya-70100-track-and-wheel-set.html) | |---|---| **Dimensions** | Size: | 25 × 15 × 20 mm | |---|---| | Weight: | 18 g | | Shaft diameter: | 2 mm | **General specifications** | No-load speed @ 6V: | 11500 rpm | |---|---| | No-load current @ 6V: | 70 mA | | Stall current @ 6V: | 800 mA | **Recommended links** - **[MATLAB script to plot motor performance curves for Pololu brushed DC gearmotors](https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/54695-polulu-motor-plot-generator)** This MATLAB script, written by Ali Asgher Mansoor Habiby, plots speed, power, current draw, and efficiency as they vary with torque when you input the gearmotor specifications. It also prints the resistance of the motor, and the current draw and torque at which maximum efficiency and maximum power occur. ## Images - [Product image 1](https://core-electronics.com.au/media/catalog/product/b/r/brushed_dc_motor_130_size_6v_11.5krpm_800ma_stall__pololu_1117__00.jpg)
