It’s pretty much the same problem every time when you’re trying to fit a decent gearmotor into a 10mm housing—most off-the-shelf options either lack torque or generate enough noise to defeat purpose of a quiet pan-tilt mechanism for indoor CCTV.
So what this does is pair a 10mm brushed motor with a metal gearbox at 168:1, which gives you roughly 106 gf.cm at the rated load and a gearbox-rated 2000 gf·cm continuous, with spikes up to 6000 gf·cm for quick stops or positioning errors.
No load it spins 98 rpm at 3V, draws about 80mA idle, and at rated load you’re looking at 86 rpm at 220mA—handy numbers if you’re sizing a constant-current driver but honestly the stall torque and reduction ratio matter more for positioning accuracy.
Shaft is a standdard D-cut, overall assembly length is 34mm with the gearbox at 19mm, weight runs about 12g, and it’s RoHS compliant with IP20 ingress—fine for indoors but don’t expect it to survive a humid outdoor enclosure without additonal potting.
Minimum order quantities vary by batch but we usually have stock of about 200 units on teh shelf, though for anything past 500 pieces you’ll want to confirm lead time because the gearbox assembly can stretch to 20 days or so depending on metal gear availability (they don’t stock those loose).
Operating temp range is -10°C to +60°C, which basically matches a typical smart device interior, but storage up to 70°C means you’re safe during summer shiping without active cooling if the package sits on a tarmac for a few hours.
Our MOQ for this model is typically 100 pieces per order, but we can discuss smaller quantities for prototyping or sample testing.
The motor is RoHS compliant, and we can provide a RoHS certificate upon request. No other certifications are standard, but we can share test reports for torque and speed.
It's designed for 3.0V DC, and going higher could damage the motor or reduce lifespan. For other voltages, we'd need to adjust the winding or gear ratio.
Store it in a dry, clean environment between -20°C and +70°C. Avoid moisture since it's IP20 rated—that means no dust or water protection.
Yes, we can customize the shaft length or shape for volume orders, but the standard D-cut is 19mm from the gearbox. Lead time for custom shafts is about 2-3 weeks.
