12mm Diameter Small Geared DC Motor Outline Drawing
What Is the Difference Between an N20 and N30 Gear Motor?
First, the main difference is motor size. The N20 motor has a smaller body, so it fits compact products more easily. In contrast, the N30 motor has a larger frame.
Also, an N30 motor can support different power and torque ranges depending on its winding and gearbox setup. Therefore, always compare the actual motor data rather than selecting a motor only by its N20 or N30 frame name.
For example, an N20 motor works well when small size is the main design goal. On the other hand, an N30 may suit designs that have more installation space and need a larger motor.


Typical Applications
For example, the compact body and gearbox make this motor useful in many small products:
- Smart selfie sticks
- Camera gimbals
- Small robots
- Smart locks
- Robot camera systems
- Small automation devices
- Compact motion systems
In short, choose the motor voltage first. Next, select the gear ratio based on your required speed and torque. Finally, check the motor size and encoder setup before you place an order.
Related Motor Models & Options
If you need step-by-step position control instead of continuous DC rotation, check out the 6mm 2-Phase 4-Wire Stepper Motor. It provides controlled movement for small devices.
Also, if your application needs a standard non-geared setup, consider the N20 Motor for Smart Lock as a base motor option.
In addition, applications that need high speed without a gearbox can use the 6mm Coreless Motor 1.5V 3V. Its small size makes it suitable for compact drive systems.

I use this 6v gear motor as small rotating photo tables powered by a variable voltage DC power supply. The beauty of these motors is their high gear ratios make them operate stably at even a fraction of their rated 12 volts. Lower voltage makes them rotate substantially slower, so you essentially have a variable speed turn table.
James Howells –
Thank you NFPmotros for caring about your products and your customers. You have excellent costumer service. Also shipping was on time and the small gearbox motors were well packaged.
Brenda Lindsay –
Not sure how long mini gear box motor will last but mounted easily, works great, and performs exactly as I need it to. As others have noted, this thing is tiny and does not have a ton of torque. For hobbies and light duty. Perfect little motor for wife’s Christmas Village display.
Stephan Fischer –
You can’t beat these little micro dc gear motors for the power. I got a 96 RPM, a 145 RPM and I just ordered a 285 RPM. This is a great little motor, and well made. Be sure to check the voltage as these motors do come in various voltages and gear ratio’s. So far I’m very happy with them.
Seo-geumdong –
The metal mini gear motor works with low noise. The small size and light weight make it very convenient. when I replace the broken electronic lock, and it works perfectly.
