The Dual Shaft DC Gear Motor (Yellow) is a staple of hobbyist robotics and DIY electronics. At Electrapac, we recommend this motor as the perfect starting point for building student robot projects, obstacle-avoiding cars, and smart RC vehicles due to its high torque and ease of assembly.

Product Overview

This is a BO (Battery Operated) Motor that features a high-quality plastic gearbox with a 1:48 reduction ratio. The "Dual Shaft" design is particularly useful because it allows you to attach a wheel to one side and a rotary encoder to the other for precise speed and distance tracking.

Key Features for Electrapac Customers

• Dual Output Shafts: Provides versatility for mounting wheels on both sides or adding feedback sensors (encoders) for autonomous navigation.

• Integrated Gearbox: The 1:48 reduction ratio converts the high speed of the internal 130 motor into high torque, allowing the motor to easily carry the weight of a chassis, batteries, and sensors.

• EMC Internal Design: Features integrated anti-interference circuitry to prevent electromagnetic noise from affecting your microcontroller (like Arduino or ESP32).

• Lightweight & Durable: The reinforced plastic housing is lightweight enough for small robots but tough enough to handle collisions during testing.

• Easy Mounting: Includes standard mounting holes that are compatible with almost all "Smart Car" chassis kits sold at www.electrapac.com.

Wiring & Connection Guide

1. Direct Power: You can test the motor by connecting it directly to a 2x AA battery pack (3V) or a 4x AA pack (6V).

2. Direction Control: To change the direction of rotation, simply swap the positive and negative wires connected to the motor terminals.

3. Speed Control: To vary the speed or control the motor via code, we recommend using a motor driver module like the L298N or L293D.

Note: These motors come with bare metal terminals. For a secure connection, we recommend soldering flexible wires (22-24 AWG) to the terminals.

Primary Applications

• DIY Smart Cars: The standard motor for 2WD and 4WD robotic platforms.

• Obstacle Avoidance Robots: Pairs perfectly with Ultrasonic sensors.

• Line Follower Robots: Reliable speed for following tracks accurately.

• Science Projects: Ideal for school demonstrations of gears and simple machines.
