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.

Micro

Micro metal gear motors are the teeniest size of metal gear motors that we carry, and are ideal for smaller robots, or applications requiring less power.

25D mm

25mm diameter motors are the next size up if your project needs a bit more power. They're a nice standard size from Pololu, and we've got mounting brackets to match.

  1. 34:1 Metal Gearmotor 25Dx52L mm HP
    SKU: POLOLU-1573 Brand: Pololu
    This cylindrical, 2.05" x 0.98" x 0.98" gearmotor uses a brushed DC motor with extra-strong magnets and a 34.014:1 metal gearbox to deliver a lot of power in a relatively small package. These units have a 0.315"-long, 4 mm-diameter D-shaped output shaft. This is the same motor used on the Dagu Wild Thumper 6WD all-terrain chassis 34:1. Pololu also carry a lower-power version of this gearmotor and a version with an encoder. Key specs at 6 V: 285 RPM and 450 mA free-run, 60 oz-in (4.3 kg-cm) and 6 A stall.

37D mm

If you're looking for some serious grunt, then these 37mm diameter metal gearbox motors are just the ticket, with their all metal construction and high power output.

  1. 50:1 Metal Gearmotor 37Dx54L mm 12V (Helical Pinion)
    Rating:
    100% of 100
    SKU: POLOLU-4743 Brand: Pololu
    This gearmotor is a powerful brushed DC motor with 50:1 metal gearbox intended for operation at 12 V. The gearbox is composed mainly of spur gears, but it features helical gears for the first stage for reduced noise and improved efficiency. These units have a 16 mm-long, 6 mm-diameter D-shaped output shaft. This gearmotor is also available with an integrated encoder.
