Standard Gearmotor - 81 RPM (3-12V)

These standard gearmotors are incredibly tough and feature full metal gears to help you drive wheels, gears, or almost anything else that needs to turn. They have a gear ratio of 50:1 and operate up to 12 volts and deliver a stall torque of 57 oz-in. and a max speed of 81 RPM. Each standard gearmotor sports a 6mm diameter D-shaft.

Important: The manufacturer has issued a warning that stalling the motor can cause gear damage. Please keep this in mind for testing & using this motor.

    On the manufacturer website (Pololu), it says that stall current is 5A, not 0.5A ... is this a specs error or am I looking at completely different gearmotors (although they appear identical otherwise) http://www.pololu.com/category/116/37d-mm-gearmotors
