How to Select the Perfect 12V 1000RPM DC Gear Motor for Your Project?

Both round spur gear motors and planetary gear motors can achieve 1000RPM at 12V, thanks to the availability of small gear ratios. The specific model will determine the exact performance characteristics. Here’s a list of models that can be configured for 12V with a 1000RPM output:

Now that you know all these motors can be configured to deliver 1000RPM at 12V, how do you choose the right one for your application?

Key Considerations for Selecting the Right Motor

While speed is a primary consideration, torque is equally important. When selecting the right DC gear motor, you need to take into considertion voltage, speed, and torque for optimal performance:

  • Insufficient torque: The motor will be unable to move the load in your application.
  • Excessive torque: This may damage components within your product, leading to mechanical failures or inefficiencies.

If you’re unsure about your torque requirements, don’t hesitate to consult our team of sales engineers. We can help you match the right motor for your specific needs.

Brushless or Brushed?

The motors mentioned above are available in both brushed and brushless versions. Here’s how to choose:

  • Brushed motors are cost-effective and simple to control, making them ideal for basic applications.
  • Brushless motors are much more expensive, but have longer lifespan, and quieter operation, making them perfect for commercial products or high-end products

Each motor type comes with its unique set of advantages and trade-offs. For example, your application might be cost-sensitive, noise-sensitive, or might need low current draw for extended battery life. Some products may require motors with self-locking capabilities to hold a load.
