Reely RE-7842798 gearmotor 12 V 1:316

This 12 V gear motor is built for model builders and robotics enthusiasts who need slow, precise, high-torque movement in compact projects. It combines a brushed DC motor with a 1:316 spur gear reduction, delivering reliable low-speed drive for actuators, turntables, and small automation tasks.

Key specifications

• Operating voltage: 12 V DC
• Gear ratio: 1:316
• No-load speed: 25 RPM
• Rated torque: 1.5 kg/cm (0.147 Nm)
• No-load current: 0.15 A
• Rated current: 0.5 A
• Stall current: 1.5 A
• Shaft diameter: 6 mm
• Shaft length: 15 mm
• Motor body length (excluding shaft): 60 mm
• Housing diameter: 37 mm
• Connection: solder tabs
• Rotation: reversible

Why choose it

The high gear ratio reduces output speed while multiplying torque, making it ideal for applications where controlled, powerful motion matters more than speed. Its compact cylindrical housing (37 mm diameter) fits easily into tight spaces, and the reversible rotation allows bidirectional control.

Ideal use cases

• Model turntables and display rotating platforms
• Robotic arms and grippers
• Camera sliders and pan/tilt mechanisms
• Small conveyor or feeder systems
• DIY automation projects

Good to know

The motor is a brushed DC type with a spur gearbox, which provides a good balance of cost, simplicity, and torque. Solder tab connections allow direct wiring to your motor driver or power supply. Ensure your driver can handle the stall current of 1.5 A to avoid overheating during blocked-rotor conditions.
