Description
The Johnson B-Grade Side-Shaft Geared Motor is a high-performance, cost-effective actuator engineered for industrial automation, robotics, and complex mechanical assemblies. Designed with an off-centered (side) shaft and a durable metal gearbox, this motor provides the substantial torque required for demanding applications ranging from precision industrial actuators to household appliances. Its robust design, featuring metal bushes for enhanced wear resistance, ensures reliable operation even under consistent heavy-duty usage.
This “B-Grade” series is an excellent choice for projects where budget optimization is essential without compromising on functional power. Operating smoothly within a 6V to 18V DC range, this motor delivers 75 RPM at 12V with a notable torque of 6.7 kg-cm. Whether you are building an autonomous robotic platform, an automated kitchen appliance, or a specialized industrial feed mechanism, this Johnson motor provides the reliable, high-torque motion needed for professional-grade results.
Note: This motor has a manufacturing tolerance of ±20% in RPM. While B-Grade motors offer incredible value, for applications requiring maximum longevity, superior torque efficiency, and higher cycle life, we recommend our “Grade A Quality” (Orange series) motors.
