BO Motor Straight (60 RPM)

WORKING PRINCIPLE: The 60 RPM Straight Single Shaft BO Motor is a geared DC motor that converts electrical energy into rotational mechanical motion. When DC voltage is applied to the motor terminals, current flows through the internal windings, producing a magnetic field that causes the rotor to spin. The attached gear reduction system lowers the motor’s high rotational speed while increasing torque, resulting in a controlled output speed. The motor is designed to operate efficiently with minimal friction and can absorb shock and vibration due to its elastic compliance.
MODULE STRUCTURE: The motor is constructed with a compact DC motor connected to a straight single-shaft gearbox. The gearbox contains multiple reduction gears that adjust the speed and torque of the output shaft. The body is lightweight and designed with mounting holes, allowing easy attachment to robot frames or mechanical assemblies. The output shaft is designed to fit wheels and couplers used in small robotic vehicles.
PIN CONFIGURATION: The motor has two electrical terminals: Positive (+) – Connect to the positive terminal of the DC power supply, Negative (−) – Connect to the ground or negative terminal of the power supply. Switching the polarity will reverse the direction of rotation.
INTERFACE CONNECTION: The motor operates using a 3V to 12V DC power source. For robotic systems, it is typically connected through motor driver modules such as L293D or L298N when controlled by microcontrollers.
OUTPUT FUNCTION: The motor provides 60 RPM rotational speed after gear reduction with high torque, making it suitable for driving robot wheels and other small mechanical systems requiring slow and controlled movement.
OPERATING VOLTAGE: 3V – 12V DC
SIGNAL CONDITIONING: Motor drivers can be used to control speed using PWM signals and direction through H-bridge circuits, enabling precise motion control in robotics and automation projects.
