High Torque Low RPM N20 Gear Motor Technical Sheet
What Is an N20 Gear Motor?
First, the N20 gear motor is a small DC motor combined with a metal gearbox. It offers low weight, a compact size, and a wide range of output speeds. Therefore, it works well in small devices where space is limited.
In addition, the gearbox reduces the motor speed and increases the available torque. As a result, the N20 gear motor can provide controlled motion for robots, cameras, smart devices, and other small drive systems.
Also, different voltage and gear ratio options make it easier to match the motor to your project. For example, a low gear ratio provides higher speed, while a high gear ratio provides lower speed and more torque.
Key Features

Used to drive a power focuser on a telescope. Plenty of torque and robust. Trial and error methods mean errors – no problem for this 12v dc motor with gearbox.
Stephanie Turner –
This time I bought 12v dc motor with gearbox, been communicating with suppliers and post offices because of customs clearance issues. The efficiency of Microdcmotors is so high, and I will not become impatient when contact with them. The cooperation time is too long, nearly 4 years, and I like their attitude. Recommendation: Buy with confidence.

Just got mine in today. Great micro metal gearmotor! Much nicer than I was expecting for the price. I make some hand wheels with 50 graduation marks. They start turning at about 5v they are quiet and smooth running.

When our granddaughter came to my husband with an idea to create a “cool alien locator #6” for a “passion project” she needed to do for team, a very small, but somewhat powerful dc gear motors motor needed to be found. We went to every hobby shop in our vicinity and could not find what we needed. This motor was perfect. It fit in the space and worked exactly how we needed it to. Tiny and efficient.

Small gear motors and used at a rated voltage of 12V. Works well too, very quiet.
Scott Siegel –
The miniature DC gear motor is packed in a very good carton with a very good foam filling to protect the gear motor. As described, very stable gear motor.
