FIT0495-A 15 RPM DC Gearmotor
Overview
The FIT0495-A is a low-speed, high-torque DC gearmotor designed for precision movement at 6VDC. It features a significant 478:1 gear reduction ratio, allowing for a steady output of 15 RPM with a maximum current draw of approximately 0.6A. This 25mm diameter motor is constructed with solder tab terminations and a 4mm output shaft for straightforward mechanical integration.
Why Choose This Part
The massive 478 gear reduction ratio provides high mechanical advantage, enabling the motor to move heavy loads at a low 15 RPM speed. Its compact 25mm round form factor and standard 17mm mounting hole spacing allow for easy installation in space-constrained enclosures.
Applications
Key Specifications
Getting Started
To drive this motor, use an H-bridge motor driver like the L298N or TB6612FNG capable of handling at least 1A peak to account for stall currents. Connect the solder tabs to your driver output and use a PWM signal from a microcontroller to regulate speed. Ensure your power supply can provide a stable 6VDC, though the motor remains functional within a 2V to 7.5V range.
