Adafruit 130 Size DC Toy/Hobby Motor

These DC hobby motors, classified as '130 size', are designed with a broader operational range than typical toy motors. Operating between 4.5 to 9VDC, they stand out compared to the usual range of 1.5 to 4.5V found in many smaller models. This versatility makes them an excellent choice for use with an Adafruit Motor Shield or an Arduino, particularly in scenarios where 5V or 9V power sources are readily available, rather than relying on a high-current 3V configuration.

The motors are engineered to fit seamlessly into most electronics that already utilize 130-size motors. Additionally, they come equipped with two breadboard-friendly wires that have already been soldered in place, facilitating rapid prototyping and easy integration into various projects.

In terms of specifications, these motors operate effectively within a temperature range of -10°C to +60°C. Their rated voltage is 6.0VDC, and they can handle a rated load of 10 g*cm. The maximum no-load current is 70 mA, with a no-load speed peaking at 9100 ±1800 RPM. When loaded, the maximum current rises to 250 mA, yielding a loaded speed of 4500 ±1500 RPM.

Starting torque for these motors is measured at 20 g*cm, and they initiate operation at a starting voltage of 2.0V. On the downside, the stall current can reach a maximum of 500mA.

Regarding dimensions, the body of the motor measures 27.5mm in length, 20mm in width, and 15mm in height, while the shaft has a diameter of 8mm and a length of 2mm. Each motor weighs 17.5 grams, making it a compact yet powerful component for various electronic applications.

Overall, the '130 size' DC hobby motors are ideal for a wide range of projects, thanks to their extended operating voltage range and compatibility with existing electronics. The inclusion of pre-soldered wires simplifies connections and prototyping, enhancing the user experience for hobbyists and engineers alike. Whether you're building a robot, a custom vehicle, or any DIY electronics project, these motors provide reliable performance and versatility.
