Description
The IG42E-24K Planetary DC Geared Motor is a heavy-duty, high-performance actuator imported from an established Taiwanese manufacturer renowned for exceptional quality and durability. Built around an efficient epicyclic (planetary) gear train, this motor delivers the low backlash, high torque density, and smooth power transmission required for demanding robotics and automation applications. Housed in a robust 42mm diameter metal gearbox, this 12V model provides massive torque output significantly outperforming smaller 32mm alternatives.
Operating at 250 RPM with a powerful rated torque of 100 N-cm, this 24:1 gearhead motor is driven by a brushed permanent magnet DC motor drawing up to 5.5A with a 41.3W power rating. It features an integrated single-channel encoder providing real-time rotational feedback (120 PPR) for accurate speed and positioning control. Extensively bench-tested at the warehouse for its extreme pushable limits, the IG42E-24K ensures dependable, professional-grade performance for heavy-duty automation projects.
