Description
Considered the “Big Brother” to the popular IG32 and IG42 series, the IG45-14K Planetary DC Geared Motor is a heavy-duty, high-power actuator built for demanding automation and robotics applications. Featuring a robust 45mm diameter planetary (epicyclic) gearbox with a 14:1 gear ratio, this 24V motor delivers an impressive rated torque of 78 N-cm (with a massive stall torque up to 40 kg-cm) at 438 RPM. By omitting built-in encoders, the IG45 series provides exceptional torque density and industrial-grade power at a highly cost-effective price point.
Driven by a reliable brushed permanent magnet DC motor drawing up to 3.5A rated current (12.42A stall) with a 49.5W power rating, this motor is engineered to handle extreme mechanical loads with minimal backlash and high transmission efficiency. Every unit is rigorously bench-tested at the warehouse for its extreme pushable limits, ensuring dependable performance. Whether you are building heavy mobile rovers, automated industrial machinery, or high-torque mechanical systems, the IG45-14K provides unmatched muscle for your build.
