Product Description

The 12V DC 200 RPM Side Shaft Geared Motor is a robust power solution designed for applications that require a perfect middle ground between high speed and heavy lifting capability. The side shaft (off-center) configuration is specifically engineered to allow the motor body to be tucked into a corner or flat against a chassis, maximizing available space in robotic builds. Featuring a rugged all-metal gearbox, this motor provides the mechanical durability required for warehouse robots, automated sliding mechanisms, and heavy-duty conveyor systems. At 200 RPM, it offers enough agility for mobile platforms while maintaining substantial stall torque.

Key Features

All-Metal Gear Train: Constructed with precision-machined steel spur gears to ensure maximum wear resistance and prevent stripping under sudden mechanical loads.
Balanced 200 RPM Output: Provides a versatile rotational speed that is fast enough for mapping robots yet strong enough for incline climbing.
Offset Side Shaft: The asymmetrical shaft placement allows for unique mounting orientations, making it easier to center the driving wheels on a robot's chassis.
Standard 6mm D-Shaft: The output shaft features a flat "D" cut, ensuring that wheels, pulleys, or couplers stay locked in place even during high-torque starts and stops.
Metallic Heat Dissipation: The durable metal gearbox housing acts as a natural heat sink, helping the motor maintain performance during extended operation.

Technical Details

Motor Type: Brushed DC Motor with Metal Gearhead.
Mounting: Compatible with standard 12V side-shaft L-brackets.
Rotation: Bi-directional (Simply reverse terminal polarity to change direction).

Prototyping and Engineering Tips from Robogears

Offset Chassis Design: When building a 2WD or 4WD robot, use the "Side Shaft" to your advantage. By mounting the motors with the bodies facing inward, you can keep your robot’s wheelbase narrow without sacrificing motor power.
Current Surge Management: High-torque motors draw significant current when starting or when pushing against an obstacle. Always use a motor driver with a high peak current rating (like a BTS7960 or a reinforced L298N) to avoid thermal shutdown.
Radial Load Protection: While the internal metal gears are strong, avoid putting the entire weight of a heavy robot directly on the 6mm shaft. For very heavy machines, use an external bearing block to support the wheel's weight so the motor shaft only handles the rotational force.
EMI Suppression: These motors generate electrical noise (EMI) as the internal brushes spin. Solder a 0.1uF ceramic capacitor across the (+) and (-) terminals to prevent this noise from interfering with your ultrasonic sensors or resetting your microcontroller.

Package Includes

1 x 12V DC 200 RPM Side Shaft High Torque Geared Motor

Disclaimer: Do not exceed the 12V rating for continuous operation to prevent overheating. Ensure the mechanical load does not exceed the motor's rated stall torque. Always use appropriate fuses in high-current DC circuits to protect your electronics and power source.
