Description
The SPG30E-270K DC Geared Motor with Encoder is a popular, cost-effective compact brushed DC motor solution from Cytron Technologies, engineered specifically for heavy-duty rovers, omni-drive robots, and automated mechanisms. Featuring an integrated 5V quadrature Hall-effect encoder, this motor provides both position and direction sensing via two out-of-phase output channels (placed 90° apart). This advanced telemetry allows you to monitor shaft rotation and regulate motor speed with high precision.
Housed in a sturdy cylindrical gearbox with an immense 270:1 reduction ratio, this 12V motor delivers the highest torque in its class—an impressive 14 kg-cm at 16 RPM. It features a convenient 6mm diameter D-shaped output shaft (15.5 mm length) for secure, slip-free coupling. Imported directly from Cytron, every unit is rigorously bench-tested for performance reliability. Note: The encoder casing may come in either black or white color. Due to warehouse performance verification, the physical label on the motor may display ratings that slightly differ from standard manufacturer specifications.
Mounting Caution: The mounting thread depth of this motor is 3.2 mm. Ensure you use M3 screws of appropriate length (factoring in the thickness of any mounting brackets) to avoid damaging the internal gearbox.
