12mm Coreless Small Worm Gear Motor

Key Features:

  • Form factor & electrical window (for quick fit check): Ø12 mm OD with ~15 mm motor body length (IND-12GMW1215 platform); designed to operate on 5–14 V DC, suitable for tight-envelope miniature actuator assemblies.
  • Gear ratio/output options to match a target load point: standard builds include 59:1 and 300:1 reductions (additional ratios available); we can recommend a configuration based on your required output RPM / output torque / allowable current to reduce rework and second-round sampling.
  • Holding / anti-backdrive behavior for position-stay mechanisms: worm drive transmission is intended for applications where the output should resist back-driving when power is removed (locks, valves, angle-hold, light clamping). Holding performance must be confirmed against your load shock/vibration and safety requirements.
  • Simple direction control at system level: CW/CCW rotation is achieved by reversing DC polarity, enabling easy control via harness wiring or an H-bridge driver without mechanical modification.
  • OEM-friendly customization items (purchase-relevant): options include shaft length/shape, winding/voltage selection, speed/torque tuning, lead wires/connectors, output interface parts (gear/coupler on shaft), and encoder add-onRoHS documentation/material compliance can be supplied on request.

Product introduction

The IND-12GMW1215 12 mm coreless worm gear motor is designed for compact mechanisms that need reduced speed, higher output torque, and stable holding behavior when power is removed. The motor platform is Ø12 mm with a body length around 15 mm, and it supports a wide operating voltage range of 5–14 V DC for common embedded power rails. Typical gearbox options include 59:1, 300:1 and 1168:1 ratios, allowing you to balance output speed, load torque, and current consumption based on your duty cycle. Direction change is achieved by reversing the DC polarity, which simplifies wiring and controller selection. For OEM integration, we can customize shaft length/geometry, lead wires and connectors, output interface parts, and add-on feedback such as an encoder. RoHS-compliant versions are available. Share your target speed, torque, installation envelope, and working cycle for a matched recommendation.

FAQs 

 

Q1: What voltage range can this 12mm worm gear motor run on?

It is designed for 5–14 V DC systems. For best performance and temperature control, we recommend selecting the winding and ratio based on your actual load torque and duty cycle.

Q2: How do I change the rotation direction?

This is a DC motor drive: swap the supply polarity to switch CW/CCW. Your driver (H-bridge) can handle direction control electronically without mechanical changes.

Q3: Can the gearbox hold the load when power is off?

Worm gear structures typically provide resistance to back-driving, which helps with position holding. However, the real holding capability depends on ratio, lubrication, load shock/vibration, and safety requirements—please provide your load and conditions so we can validate or recommend an additional brake if needed.
