COPAL 30:1 Gearmotor

Great power and speed, light weight and very efficient, this incredible little motor is one great value, and at under 1 ounce each!

The built-on 30:1 gearhead provides a great amount of torque to the wheels while still being quite zippy. We recommend using our Foam Tires with this motor, as they provide good shock absorption for the small gearhead (not recommended for larger then 1.5" diameter wheels). Pre-wired with about 4" long leads.

Voltage: 4.8-9V
Only 1.43" long, 5/8" diameter
weight: .88oz
52.49 oz-in torque @ 12V
29.16 oz-in torque @ 6V

770rpm @ 12V
390rpm @ 6V
stall at 1.3a (Avoid stalling, to prevent gear damage)
3mm diameter shaft with 5mm long flat

COPAL 50:1 Gearmotor

This little motor takes the Copal line another step further with its all-metal gears at a ratio of 50 to 1. We've tested this motor extensively, and were extremely impressed at it's performance.

There are now TWO different versions of this motor- one with a 6V motor, and one with a 12V motor. Since we know many builders will opt to overvolt these motors anyway to 12+ volts, we had Copal develop a new 6V version of this motor, just for the Robot MarketPlace! Both motor models have wire leads soldered onto the back. Check out the stats below.

Note that this motor's gearbox is exposed, so it's best for use in a bot where it is enclosed. If you need to, you could wrap a layer of thin CF or foil around the gearbox if you're worried about grit getting inside, or better yet, check out our Lexan Mounts made just for this motor, which also keep the gearbox enclosed.

COPAL 60:1 Gearmotor

This is a very popular motor for Antweight robots. Some of the top robots out there use this motor for drive. Very high power, light weight and very efficient, this incredible little motor is one great value, and at under 1 ounce each!

The built-on 60:1 gearhead provides a great amount of torque to the wheels. We recommend using our Foam Tires with this motor, as they provide good shock absorption for the small gearhead. Pre-wired with about 4" long leads.

Micro Geared Motors

These are the smallest gearmotors we've found, nice durable quality too!

High quality all-metal gears in all models. Select high torque or high speed.

The entire motor with gears weighs only .3 ounces!  They are rated for 5.0V DC, but we have tested and run them at 9.0V, even up to 12V. Many tires/wheels can be directly mounted to the diameter output shaft.Note that the 35:1 is a bit larger than the others. Great for use in Sumo robots!

Please note the shafts are different on these models. For example, the 50:1 comes with a longer, 12mm long shaft, while the 75:1 comes with a stubby 5mm shaft. The 56:1 motor has an even longer shaft, but is only 2mm instead of 3mm diameter. Please review the chart below when making your selection.

With these motors we will see a new evolution of tiny bots. YES, the prop adapter and aluminum hubs we sell will fit on most of these motors!
