Description
The RS-50 DC Geared Motor is a heavy-duty, high-performance industrial actuator engineered to deliver superior torque and energy efficiency compared to standard Johnson geared motors. Designed for rigorous environments, this motor features a high-durability base motor (4500 RPM) paired with a precision metal reduction gearbox, enabling it to run continuously for hours under demanding workloads while consuming minimal current.
Operating efficiently across a 6V to 15V DC range (optimized for 12V), this 100 RPM variant strikes an ideal balance between speed and pulling power, delivering a rated torque of 8 kg-cm and a robust full-stall load torque of 40 kg-cm. It is equipped with an 8mm D-type shaft to ensure a secure, slip-free mechanical connection with wheels, gears, or heavy linkages. Whether you are developing commercial cleaning equipment, automated industrial systems, or heavy-duty robotic platforms, the RS-50 provides the rugged reliability and professional-grade performance your project demands.
Note: This motor has a manufacturing tolerance of ±20% in RPM.
Key Features
- Balanced Speed & Torque: Delivers 100 RPM of operational speed paired with an 8 kg-cm rated torque and a 40 kg-cm full-stall torque.
- High Durability & Efficiency: Outperforms standard Johnson motors by carrying higher loads while maintaining a lower current draw and supporting multi-hour continuous run times.
- Secure D-Type Shaft: Features a rugged 8mm diameter, 21mm long D-cut shaft that prevents rotational slippage under heavy loads.
- Industrial Reduction Gearbox: Translates high base-motor velocity into controlled, high-torque mechanical force using robust internal metal gearing.
- Flexible Power Compatibility: Performs reliably across a 6V to 15V DC operating range, tailored for standard 12V power setups.
Benefits
- Reliable Continuous Operation: Engineered to withstand long, demanding work cycles without overheating or degrading.
- Robust Mechanical Integration: The 8mm D-shaft profile allows your drive components to lock in place securely without slipping or requiring excessive fastener torque.
- Power Conservation: Low no-load current (0.2A) helps preserve battery life in mobile robotic platforms and remote automated systems.
- Versatile Professional Use: Trusted by automation engineers and makers for a wide array of commercial and industrial machinery.
- Compact Industrial Footprint: Packs high torque-speed characteristics into a manageable, robust form factor.
Applications
- Commercial Cleaning Equipment: Ideal for driving scrubbers, brushes, and traction wheels in floor-cleaning machines.
- Industrial Automation: Perfect for automated shutters, welding wire feed mechanisms, and custom actuators.
- Heavy Robotic Platforms: Provides excellent drive performance for medium-to-large mobile robots and automated guided vehicles (AGVs).
- Specialized Appliances: Used in peristaltic pumps, garbage disposers, grill rotisseries, and commercial vending devices.
- Custom Prototyping: A dependable actuator for advanced maker projects requiring industrial-grade strength and reliability.
