BO Yellow Geared Motor

The 6V 100 RPM DC Gear BO Motor TT Dual Shaft Straight is a small geared motor commonly used to power educational robots, smart cars, and DIY automation projects. It combines a DC motor with a built-in reduction gearbox that lowers the motor's rotational speed and provides useful output torque for driving wheels and other lightweight mechanisms.

Operating at a typical rated voltage of 6V DC, this motor delivers approximately 100 RPM at the output shaft. Its compact TT-style housing makes it suitable for many beginner robotics chassis, while the dual-shaft design provides additional flexibility for mounting wheels or compatible encoder components.

Features

• 6V DC Operation: Suitable for low-voltage battery-powered robotics and electronics projects.

• 100 RPM Output Speed: Provides controlled rotation for small mobile robots and motorized mechanisms.

• Built-In Reduction Gearbox: Reduces motor speed to provide useful torque for movement.

• Dual-Shaft Design: Offers two shaft ends for flexible mechanical integration, depending on the application.

• Straight TT-Style Housing: Compatible with many chassis designed for standard BO gear motors.

• Lightweight Construction: Helps keep the overall weight of small robots and moving platforms low.

• Simple Motor Control: Can be controlled using a compatible DC motor driver and microcontroller.

• Budget-Friendly Robotics Component: Suitable for learning, prototyping, and school or university projects.

Applications

• Arduino-based smart robot cars.

• Line-following robots.

• Obstacle-avoiding robots.

• 2WD and 4WD educational robot chassis.

• Bluetooth- or wireless-controlled toy vehicles.

• STEM learning and robotics experiments.

• Small battery-powered mechanical projects.

• Prototypes requiring low-speed geared rotation.

How to Use

1. Check the voltage: Use a compatible DC supply, typically 3V–6V for this motor type.

2. Mount the motor: Secure the motor to a compatible robot chassis using the available mounting points.

3. Attach the wheel or mechanism: Check the shaft shape and dimensions before fitting wheels or couplers.

4. Connect a motor driver: Use a suitable H-bridge motor driver, such as an L298N or L293D module, where appropriate for your motor's current requirements.

5. Connect the controller: Connect the driver inputs to an Arduino or another compatible controller if automated speed and direction control are required.

6. Test the motor: Start at a suitable voltage and verify rotation direction, mechanical clearance, and current consumption before applying a load.

Important Notes

• The 100 RPM figure is approximate and typically refers to output speed at 6V; actual speed varies with load, voltage, and motor tolerances.

• Do not connect the motor directly to a microcontroller GPIO pin. Use a suitable motor driver.

• Motor current rises under load and can increase significantly if the shaft is stalled. Avoid prolonged stall conditions.

• Verify the shaft dimensions before purchasing wheels, couplers, or encoder accessories.

• The dual-shaft design does not necessarily mean an encoder is included.

• Wheels, motor driver, battery, chassis, and controller are not included unless explicitly stated in the product listing.
