DC Motor 3V-6V
£3.34
Meet the 130 micro DC motor bundle — compact power for your smallest builds. Available in 2, 5, or 10-piece sets, these motors are designed for DIY toys, micro robotics, and smart-car experiments. Two color finishes (black or white) are offered, with colors delivered randomly but built to the same high standard.
Why this micro motor stands out
- Ultra-compact footprint: main body 28 x 15 x 20 mm with a precise 2 mm shaft and 9 mm shaft length — easy to tuck into tight chassis, gears, or prop shafts.
- 3-6V operation: broad compatibility with common microcontrollers and compact battery setups, simplifying control and testing.
- Impressive speed range: 3V yields around 20,000 rpm and 6V reaches about 40,000 rpm, delivering brisk response for tiny wheels or gear trains.
- Brushless, permanent-magnet design: smoother operation, lower wear, and longer life under frequent startup cycles typical in DIY projects.
- Rugged construction: ABS impact-resistant housing paired with nickel-plated steel shaft and springs for durability in hobby environments.
- Two-wire, 26 AWG leads: clean, straightforward wiring with exposed leads ready for soldering or quick connections.
- Versatile mounting and gearing options: 2 mm shaft diameter and 9 mm length make it easy to pair with micro gearboxes or prop shafts for customized torque and speed.
Ideal uses and projects
Perfect for micro-robotics, tiny four-wheel chassis experiments, and educational kits, this motor delivers reliable propulsion without sacrificing space. Use it for:
- Miniature robots and line-followers that fit inside small enclosures
- Educational STEM projects to demonstrate speed, torque, and control with microcontrollers
- DIY remote-controlled cars or smart-car prototypes with compact powertrains
- Kinetic art devices, model vehicles, and small-scale automation demonstrations
What you get and build considerations
- Choice of 2, 5, or 10 motors to suit your project scale and budget
- Two color options, with black or white finishes delivered randomly while maintaining performance and consistency
- Two-wire connection with 26 AWG leads for easy wiring and integration with motor drivers or PWM controllers
- Compatible with micro gearboxes or prop shafts to tailor torque and top speed to your chassis
- Tip: operate within the 3-6V range and pair with a suitable driver to gradually adjust speed and avoid overheating during extended runs
