12mm Small Planetary Gear Motor

♦ Basic Info:

Model: IND-12GMP12

Diameter: 12mm

Body Length: Customizable Length, please see alterable

Operating Voltage: 1V DC-14V DC

♦ Key Features: 

  • 12mm OD coreless DC & metal planetary gearbox: model IND-12GMP12, operating range 1–14V DC. Body length options 13/15/20/25/28/30/35mm for packaging and duty-cycle margin.
  • Ratio/stage is defined (not vague “many ratios”): 4:1 (1 stage, L=13mm) / 16:1 (2 stage, L=16mm) / 64:1 (3 stage, L=19.5mm) / 256:1 (4 stage, L=23mm). Use the gearbox sheet to lock the stage length early in the mechanical layout.
  • Integration items you can actually control: shaft length/shape, lead length, connector/terminal, wire exit direction; encoder can be evaluated if you need speed feedback (space and signal requirements apply).

Product Description 

IND-12GMP12 is a 12mm small planetary gear motor built from a coreless DC motor and a metal planetary gearbox. It is used when you need reduction in a tight envelope and you still want a predictable mechanical interface for production assembly. The operating range on this page is 1–14V DC, with common rated voltage selections 1.5V / 3V / 7.4V / 12V.

The gearbox is offered as fixed stage configurations shown in the gearbox sheet: 4:1 (1 stage, L=13mm), 16:1 (2 stage, L=16mm), 64:1 (3 stage, L=19.5mm), and 256:1 (4 stage, L=23mm). That stage length matters in real hardware, so we recommend choosing ratio and stage together based on available axial space, target output speed, and required torque.

The performance table on this page is reference data from sample builds. Final output depends on your working point (load torque, duty cycle, temperature, and driver control). For end-stop mechanisms, current limiting is recommended to avoid extended stall events.

For OEM builds we can supply shaft modifications, wiring/connector options, and evaluate encoder integration based on your layout.

 

FAQs

 

Q1. How do I choose between 4:1, 16:1, 64:1 and 256:1 on IND-12GMP12?

Start from your target output speed and required torque, then check the gearbox stage length (L=13/16/19.5/23mm). Higher ratios reduce speed and increase available torque, but also increase stage length. If you share rpm/torque and duty cycle, we can recommend a working point.

Q2. Are the values in the performance table guaranteed for mass production?

They are reference values from sample builds. Final performance depends on the operating point and test conditions (load, duty cycle, temperature, driver control). For procurement, we can align a production test method and acceptance window based on your application.

Q3. What can be customized for integration?

Common items include shaft length/shape, lead length, connector/terminal type, polarity marking, and wire exit direction. Encoder integration can be evaluated if feedback is required, subject to space and signal constraints.
