JGA16-050 Micro Metal Gear Motor DC 6V 600RPM – 3mm Shaft, Reversible CW/CCW

The JGA16-050 is a compact geared DC motor designed to convert electrical power into controlled mechanical rotation. Its integrated metal gearbox reduces the motor's rotational speed while increasing available output torque compared with the motor's direct shaft output.

The 3mm output shaft makes it suitable for mechanical assemblies that use compatible wheels, couplings, pulleys, and drive components. Its reversible operation allows the motor to move mechanisms in either direction, making it useful for small mobile robots and automated mechanisms.

The motor can be controlled using a suitable DC motor driver, H-bridge module, or motor controller. When paired with a microcontroller such as Arduino, it can be incorporated into programmable robotics and automation systems.

The specified torque range depends on the motor's gear ratio and operating conditions. Check the exact motor variant and avoid prolonged operation under stall or excessive mechanical load.

How to Use / Use Guide

1. Check the motor rating: Confirm that your power supply provides the specified 6V DC.

2. Connect the motor: Connect the two motor terminals to a compatible DC motor driver or controller.

3. Control rotation: Reverse the polarity applied to the motor to change between clockwise and counterclockwise rotation.

4. Control speed: Use a compatible PWM motor driver to adjust the motor speed.

5. Attach mechanical parts: Fit a compatible wheel, coupling, or pulley onto the 3mm shaft.

6. Test under load: Start with a light mechanical load and check the motor's temperature and operating behavior.

7. Integrate with a controller: For Arduino or other microcontroller projects, use a suitable motor driver rather than powering the motor directly from a GPIO pin.

Important Notes

• Operate the motor at its specified 6V DC rating unless the exact variant's datasheet confirms another operating range.

• The 600RPM figure may refer to a particular motor variant and operating condition. Actual speed changes with mechanical load and supply voltage.

• The stated 0.53–5kg·cm torque range should not be interpreted as continuous torque available at 600RPM. Torque depends on the gearbox ratio and motor operating conditions.

• Do not stall the motor or keep its shaft mechanically blocked; excessive current and heat can damage the motor or gearbox.

• Use a suitable motor driver with adequate current capacity. Do not connect the motor directly to Arduino GPIO pins.

• Reverse the motor polarity through a suitable driver to change rotation direction.

• Confirm the shaft shape and dimensions before selecting wheels or couplings.

• Secure the motor body properly to reduce vibration and mechanical strain.

• This is a geared DC motor, not a servo motor; it does not provide built-in positional feedback.
