The Single Shaft BO Motor 100 RPM (Battery Operated motor) is a lightweight, low-cost DC geared motor for robot cars, small motorised prototypes and school / college robotics projects. 100 RPM @ 6V DC · 3V – 12V DC (best: 5V – 6V) · 40 mA – 180 mA.
The Single Shaft BO Motor 100 RPM (Battery Operated motor) is a lightweight, low-cost DC geared motor for robot cars, small motorised prototypes and school / college robotics projects. Its internal plastic spur gearbox gives good torque at a steady 100 RPM at 6V.
It has a single 5.5 mm D-shaped shaft that fits standard BO motor wheels, robot tracks and couplers. It runs on 3V to 12V DC (5V–6V recommended) and draws only 40–180 mA with no load, so it works directly with common motor drivers like L298N, L293D and TB6612FNG. The plastic body has mounting holes for direct chassis fitting, making it a popular drive motor for line-follower, obstacle-avoiding and 2WD / 4WD robots.
