Product introduction

The IND-12GMWN30 is a compact N30 worm gearmotor built for mechanisms that need a right-angle drive path and a high reduction ratio in a small installation volume. The motor body diameter is 12 mm with a 20 mm can length, and the worm gearhead provides a 90-degree output shaft arrangement that helps you package the motor parallel to the mounting surface (useful in handheld devices, small dispensers, compact valve modules, and other space-limited assemblies).

Electrically, this platform is intended for low-voltage systems with a 5–14 V DC operating window. Customers typically run it from a 12 V nominal rail, but we can tune the winding for your real supply and duty cycle. For procurement comparison, the page includes two reference configurations: a 300:1 build rated around 6 V and a 1168:1 build rated around 12 V. These points show the expected relationship between current, on-load speed, and torque—so you can size the driver and confirm peak current before sampling.

The worm gearhead is commonly chosen when the mechanism needs to resist back-driving after motion stops (for example, position-hold or load-hold functions). Note that “self-locking” is application-dependent; holding performance is influenced by ratio, lubrication, and external shock/vibration. If the mechanism has safety or anti-tamper requirements, please provide the reverse torque and environment so we can validate the margin.

For OEM integration, we support shaft geometry changes, wire/connector options, output-side interface parts, and optional encoder feedback. Share your target output RPM, required running/peak torque, and cycle time, and we will recommend a configuration and verification plan.

FAQs

Q1: Is this a 12V motor or a wide-range motor?

The platform supports 5–14 V DC. Many customers treat it as a 12V-class motor, but the final rated point depends on the winding and the selected ratio. We can configure it to match your real supply and load.

Q2: What does the 90-degree output help with in product design?

It lets you route torque at a right angle, so the motor can sit parallel to the mounting surface. This often reduces overall height and simplifies mechanical packaging compared with an in-line gearmotor.

Q3: Will it hold position when power is removed?

A worm gearhead can provide back-drive resistance, especially at higher ratios (e.g., 1168:1). However, true holding capability depends on load torque, shock/vibration, and lubrication. Provide your reverse torque requirement and environment and we will confirm the appropriate configuration and test method.
