Set of Geared DC Motor (100 RPM) + Wheel (7 cm) + DC Motor Clamp

Introduction

The Set of Geared DC Motor, Wheel & Clamp package is an essential combination for building and enhancing robotic and motorized projects. This kit provides all the key components needed for creating a robust and functional drive system, including a geared DC motor with a specific RPM, a compatible wheel, and a motor clamp for secure mounting. This setup is ideal for hobbyists, educators, and engineers working on various mechanical and robotics applications.

Components

1. Geared DC Motor (100 RPM): The geared DC motor is designed to provide a specific speed of 100 revolutions per minute (RPM). The gear reduction mechanism lowers the motor’s speed while increasing its torque, making it suitable for applications where low-speed and high-torque are required. This motor is ideal for driving wheels in robotic vehicles, conveyors, or any project where controlled and consistent movement is necessary. The gear reduction ensures smooth operation and durability, even under load.

2. Wheel (7 cm): The 7 cm diameter wheel is designed to be mounted on the DC motor’s output shaft. Its size provides a good balance between speed and traction, making it suitable for various surfaces. The wheel is typically made from durable materials such as rubber or plastic, offering good grip and stability for smooth movement. The size of the wheel ensures that the motor can effectively drive the vehicle or system, translating the motor’s rotation into forward movement.

3. DC Motor Clamp: The DC motor clamp is used to securely mount the geared DC motor to a chassis or frame. It ensures that the motor stays in place during operation, preventing vibrations and misalignment. The clamp is typically adjustable, allowing for precise positioning and alignment of the motor and wheel assembly. This ensures efficient power transfer from the motor to the wheel and contributes to the overall stability and performance of the system.

Applications

1. Robotics: This motor-wheel-clamp combination is perfect for robotics projects, including autonomous robots, robotic cars, and mobile platforms. The geared motor provides controlled movement, while the wheel ensures reliable traction and mobility. The clamp keeps the motor securely attached to the robot’s chassis, allowing for precise control and navigation.

2. DIY Projects: In DIY mechanical projects, such as custom carts, small conveyors, or automated systems, this kit provides the essential components for building a functional drive system. The motor’s gear reduction helps in driving heavier loads at lower speeds, making it versatile for various applications.

3. Educational Kits: For educational purposes, this combination is ideal for teaching principles of mechanics, motor control, and robotics. Students can use the motor, wheel, and clamp to learn about gear ratios, speed control, and mechanical assembly, gaining hands-on experience in building and testing mechanical systems.

4. Model Building: The motor and wheel can be used in scale models and prototypes where controlled movement is required. Whether it’s a model vehicle, automated model, or mechanical system, this kit provides the necessary components to bring designs to life.

Installation and Usage

1. Mount the Motor: Secure the geared DC motor using the DC motor clamp. Attach the motor to a suitable surface or chassis, ensuring it is firmly fixed and aligned properly.

2. Attach the Wheel: Mount the 7 cm wheel onto the motor’s output shaft. Ensure that the wheel is properly aligned and securely attached to prevent slippage during operation.

3. Power and Control: Connect the motor to a suitable power source and control system. The motor can be integrated with an Arduino or other controllers to regulate its speed and direction.

Conclusion

The Geared DC Motor (100 RPM) + Wheel (7 cm) + DC Motor Clamp package offers a practical and versatile solution for building drive systems in robotics, DIY projects, and educational kits. With its geared motor providing controlled low-speed operation, a durable wheel for traction, and a reliable clamp for mounting, this combination delivers a robust and efficient setup for various applications.
