SPIDER Automation Grade-B Johnson Geared Motor 60 RPM 12V | Side Shaft DC Motor | Robotics & Automation Actuator
Description
The SPIDER Automation Grade-B Johnson Geared Motor provides torque that falls intermediate to standard center-shaft gear motors and traditional side-shaft units, offering high performance at an economical cost. These Grade-B motors are widely recognized for delivering reliable performance at an affordable price compared to Grade-A variants. It is a reliable, mechanically commutated DC electric motor featuring a heavy-duty metal gearbox designed to drive the shaft efficiently. Johnson Geared Motors are renowned across industries for their compact physical footprint and massive torque-speed characteristics. Featuring a side shaft (off-centered shaft) paired with six M3 mounting holes, the motor shaft is reinforced with internal metal bushes, making it exceptionally wear-resistant. The motor runs smoothly across a flexible voltage range from 6V to 18V DC, delivering 60 RPM and a heavy-duty rated torque of 7.5 kg-cm at a 12V supply. Please note that this motor may exhibit a ±20% tolerance/error in the nominal RPM rating.
