DC Motors

These DC motors are commonly used in small robots and toys due to their compact size and high RPM, however, they're ungeared which makes them less suited for applications requiring a higher torque capacity.

Metal Gearmotors

Many robotics projects require a precise ratio of RPM-Torque which a standard motor can't provide, you need a motor with a metal gearbox.

    This tiny DC motor has a shaft with an offset mass that vibrates when it rotates. Motors like this are commonly found in cell phones and other devices that use vibration for tactile feedback. The motor has 1.5″ leads and is encased in a removable rubber sleeve that gives it flat surfaces for mounting and prevents it from chattering against whatever it is mounted to. It is intended for operation around 3 V (2.4 V to 3.5 V recommended).
