Motor with Gearbox NFP-GM16-1620-A Technical Data
First, the NFP-GM16-1620-A uses a 5V DC motor. Also, you can select ratios from 4:1 to 1,014:1. As the ratio increases, the output speed drops while the available gearbox torque increases.
| Ratio | Gearbox Length | No Load Speed | Rated Speed | Rated Torque | Instant Torque |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 4:1 | 16.35mm | 2,175 RPM | 1,965 RPM | 0.8kg.cm | 2.4kg.cm |
| 16:1 | 20.00mm | 544 RPM | 491 RPM | 1.2kg.cm | 3.6kg.cm |
| 53:1 | 23.75mm | 164 RPM | 148 RPM | 1.6kg.cm | 4.8kg.cm |
| 84:1 | 23.75mm | 104 RPM | 94 RPM | 1.6kg.cm | 4.8kg.cm |
| 157:1 | 23.75mm | 55 RPM | 50 RPM | 1.6kg.cm | 4.8kg.cm |
| 231:1 | 27.40mm | 38 RPM | 34 RPM | 2.0kg.cm | 6.0kg.cm |
| 284:1 | 27.40mm | 31 RPM | 28 RPM | 2.0kg.cm | 6.0kg.cm |
| 390:1 | 27.40mm | 22 RPM | 20 RPM | 2.0kg.cm | 6.0kg.cm |
| 561:1 | 27.40mm | 16 RPM | 14 RPM | 2.0kg.cm | 6.0kg.cm |
| 850:1 | 27.40mm | 10 RPM | 9 RPM | 2.0kg.cm | 6.0kg.cm |
| 1,014:1 | 31.05mm | 8.6 RPM | 7.8 RPM | 2.4kg.cm | 7.2kg.cm |
Therefore, select a lower ratio when you need more speed. In contrast, choose a higher ratio when your system needs slower output and more gearbox torque.
Motor with Gearbox NFP-GM16-1620-B Technical Data
Next, the NFP-GM16-1620-B operates at 12V DC and provides the highest base motor power of the three versions. In addition, its gear ratios cover both high-speed and low-speed output options.
| Ratio | Gearbox Length | No Load Speed | Rated Speed | Rated Torque | Instant Torque |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 4:1 | 16.35mm | 2,700 RPM | 2,400 RPM | 0.8kg.cm | 2.4kg.cm |
| 16:1 | 20.00mm | 675 RPM | 600 RPM | 1.2kg.cm | 3.6kg.cm |
| 53:1 | 23.75mm | 204 RPM | 181 RPM | 1.6kg.cm | 4.8kg.cm |
| 84:1 | 23.75mm | 129 RPM | 114 RPM | 1.6kg.cm | 4.8kg.cm |
| 157:1 | 23.75mm | 69 RPM | 61 RPM | 1.6kg.cm | 4.8kg.cm |
| 231:1 | 27.40mm | 47 RPM | 42 RPM | 2.0kg.cm | 6.0kg.cm |
| 284:1 | 27.40mm | 38 RPM | 34 RPM | 2.0kg.cm | 6.0kg.cm |
| 390:1 | 27.40mm | 28 RPM | 25 RPM | 2.0kg.cm | 6.0kg.cm |
| 561:1 | 27.40mm | 19 RPM | 17 RPM | 2.0kg.cm | 6.0kg.cm |
| 850:1 | 27.40mm | 13 RPM | 11 RPM | 2.0kg.cm | 6.0kg.cm |
| 1,014:1 | 31.05mm | 11 RPM | 9 RPM | 2.4kg.cm | 7.2kg.cm |
As a result, this version gives you many speed choices from 2,700 RPM down to 11 RPM at no load. Also, the gearbox length changes with the selected ratio.
Motor with Gearbox NFP-GM16-1620-C Technical Data
Finally, the NFP-GM16-1620-C also operates at 12V DC. However, it uses a lower-speed motor setup. Therefore, it provides lower gearbox output speeds across the same ratio range.
| Ratio | Gearbox Length | No Load Speed | Rated Speed | Rated Torque | Instant Torque |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 4:1 | 16.35mm | 1,750 RPM | 1,588 RPM | 0.8kg.cm | 2.4kg.cm |
| 16:1 | 20.00mm | 438 RPM | 397 RPM | 1.2kg.cm | 3.6kg.cm |

| 84:1 | 23.75mm | 83 RPM | 76 RPM | 1.6kg.cm | 4.8kg.cm |
| 157:1 | 23.75mm | 45 RPM | 40 RPM | 1.6kg.cm | 4.8kg.cm |
| 231:1 | 27.40mm | 30 RPM | 27 RPM | 2.0kg.cm | 6.0kg.cm |
| 284:1 | 27.40mm | 25 RPM | 22 RPM | 2.0kg.cm | 6.0kg.cm |
| 390:1 | 27.40mm | 18 RPM | 16 RPM | 2.0kg.cm | 6.0kg.cm |
| 561:1 | 27.40mm | 12 RPM | 11 RPM | 2.0kg.cm | 6.0kg.cm |
| 850:1 | 27.40mm | 8 RPM | 7 RPM | 2.0kg.cm | 6.0kg.cm |
| 1,014:1 | 31.05mm | 7 RPM | 6 RPM | 2.4kg.cm | 7.2kg.cm |
In short, compare the voltage, speed, ratio, and torque before choosing a version. Also, check the gearbox length because it changes with the gear ratio.

Katie Locke –
This motor delivers on its promise of high torque and reversibility. It’s perfect for projects where I need smooth steering without losing power.
Margrethe Shoemaker –
Despite its compact size, it delivers consistent torque and performance, making it an ideal choice for micro robotics or DIY electronics.
Titus.Park –
This would have been a different project. It was supposed to be 50pcs reversible gear motors but only 30pcs were in stock, she contacted me, ask us if we agree to ship in batches, as the product takes half a month to produce, we agreed as the item was urgently needed, they were very polite and professional , excellent customer service!
Danteix –
This was an exact small dc motor and fit. Needed to upgrade a slow motor with a faster motor for battery tie rack. I run it with a speed controller and a 8v lipo pack and it works great. Plenty of speed. Fast delivery was a plus.
