Yellow DC Brushed Geared Motor

Yellow DC Brushed Geared Motor – DC Motors Category

This compact, yellow‑cased motor is a brushed DC motor paired with an integrated gear train, delivering smooth, low‑speed torque that’s perfect for robotics, model vehicles, and kinetic art projects. The motor runs on a standard 6 V–12 V DC supply and features a sturdy metal gear housing that protects the gears while providing a reliable output shaft for attaching wheels, pulleys, or any mechanical load. Its bright yellow color makes it easy to locate in a kit, and the built‑in gearbox eliminates the need for separate reduction stages, giving students a ready‑to‑use power source right out of the box.

Using this motor, students explore core STEAM concepts: they’ll learn how electric current creates magnetic fields, how brush commutation produces rotation, and how gear ratios affect speed and torque. Hands‑on experiments let them calculate power consumption, design gear‑ratio‑based speed controllers, and program micro‑controllers (Arduino, ESP32, etc.) to vary motor speed with PWM signals. Key features include a 300 RPM no‑load speed, 0.5 Nm stall torque, built‑in metal spur gears (12:1 reduction), reversible polarity, and a low‑friction ball‑bearing shaft. Because it combines electrical, mechanical, and programming elements in a single, safe component, the Yellow DC Brushed Geared Motor is an ideal bridge between theory and real‑world application, making it a standout tool for any STEAM curriculum.
