Yellow Gear Motor – Affordable DC Gear Motor for Smart Car & Robotics Projects
Overview:
The yellow gear motor is a low-cost, compact DC motor with built-in gearbox, commonly used in Arduino-based smart cars, line-following robots, and DIY robotic platforms.
Key Specifications:
- Voltage Range: 3V – 6V DC
- Typical Operating Voltage: 5V
- No-load Speed at 6V: ~200–300 RPM (varies by model)
- Stall Torque at 6V: ~0.8–1.2 kg·cm
- Current Draw: ~100–250 mA (no load), up to 1A (stall)
- Gear Ratio: Usually ~1:48
- Shaft Type: Dual output shafts with flat sides for easy wheel mounting
Common Applications:
- 2WD or 4WD robot cars
- Line followers
- Obstacle-avoiding robots
- Bluetooth/WiFi-controlled vehicles
Motor Driver Compatibility:
- Use with L298N, L293D, or TB6612FNG motor drivers for control
- Needs external power supply (battery pack or regulated power)
Tips:
- Use a rubber tire wheel with the flat shaft
- Add an encoder wheel or sensor for speed tracking
- Use a battery pack (e.g. 4xAA) for better performance
