The FingerTech Gold Spark 16mm Gearmotor 20:1 is an ideal choice for hobbyists and competitive robotics enthusiasts, particularly in applications such as mini-sumo and line-following robots. This gearmotor features an all-metal spur gear reduction gearhead, coupled with a Mabuchi FK-050 motor, ensuring durability and performance. The design includes an extra-long 3mm shaft that is triple-supported internally, allowing for direct wheel mounting, which simplifies the assembly process.
Weighing only 28 grams, this gearmotor is lightweight yet powerful, making it suitable for a variety of robotic applications. It offers a range of gear ratios, providing flexibility in terms of rpm and torque to meet specific needs. The motor operates efficiently within a voltage range of 3V to 18.5V, although operating above 10V may reduce its lifespan.
The Gold Spark gearmotor is designed to facilitate easy integration into robotic systems. It can be mounted using 2-56 screws and custom motor mounts, and additional support can be provided with 3mm bearing blocks for heavier robots or weapon systems. Flat Motor Mounts are available for face-mounting in panels, enhancing its versatility in different setups.
