Hobby Motor with Encoder - Plastic Gear (Single, Red)

This simple Hobby Motor with Encoder provides one of the easiest ways to add motion and feedback to your robotics projects. This single direct-current (DC) gearmotor features an integrated Hall effect speed encoder, allowing your microcontroller to accurately track the motor's rotation and speed. Rather than simply applying power and hoping your robot moves correctly, the encoder provides the critical feedback needed for precise autonomous navigation and speed adjustments.

This specific motor utilizes a durable plastic gear train with a 1:48 ratio, offering a good balance of speed and torque for small-scale chassis and educational builds.

Simple Integration and Feedback

The onboard Hall sensor utilizes a magnetic plate to detect rotation. When the sensor detects the South pole of the magnet, it outputs a high electrical level; detecting the North pole outputs a low level. By counting these pulses, your controller can easily calculate exact wheel positions.

• Power Compatibility: Operates smoothly on a flexible 4.5V to 9V supply, making it easy to power with standard battery packs or motor drivers.
• Easy Wiring: Features a 6-pin detachable cable interface for clean routing and easy connection to your motor driver or development platform.
• XRP Ready: This is the exact same high-quality motor and encoder assembly utilised in our XRP and AgXRP kits.

Please be aware that this product only includes a single motor. Most wheeled robotics projects will require at least two of these motors to function properly.
