N10 Brushed DC Planetary Gear Motor (1.5V / 3V / 12V)

♦ Basic Info:

This N10 brushed DC planetary gear motor (Ø10mm IND-10GMPN10) integrates a brushed DC motor with a compact planetary gearhead to deliver stable output torque in a small envelope. Standard supply options include 1.5V / 3V / 12V (within 1–14V DC operating range), suitable for compact actuator modules.

Key Features: 

  • N10 (10mm) brushed motor & planetary gearhead, 12.5mm body length: designed for space-limited mechanisms requiring repeatable output and straightforward integration.
  • 120:1 planetary reduction with sourcing-friendly reference data: no-load / on-load / stall values are listed on this page for engineering comparison and procurement selection.
  • Production-ready configuration support: customizable shaft length/style, lead wire length, connector/terminal type, and optional encoder integration to match your assembly and inspection requirements.

♦ Applications:

Cleaning equipment/ Smart lock/ Armarium

Typical Applications (Where N10 Planetary Gear Motors Are Used)

This N10 planetary gear motor is used in compact mechanisms that need speed reduction and stable torque output, such as:

  • Smart lock actuation modules (latch/bolt linkage drives)
  • Small cleaning equipment actuators (compact rotary drives)
  • Compact consumer/medical modules requiring controlled output speed

If the mechanism includes end-stops or intermittent jamming, driver current limiting is recommended to avoid extended stall operation and improve long-term consistency.

Selection Notes (How to Specify the Correct Version)

To receive a comparable quote and correct samples, please provide:

Target output speed (rpm) and required output torque (g·cm / mN·m, or force + lever radius)
Supply voltage range (1.5V / 3V / 12V) and any current limit in the driver
Duty cycle (on/off time per cycle) and expected daily cycles
End-stop behavior (soft stop vs hard stop)
Output shaft requirement (preferred: mating-part drawing + tolerance)
Based on the above, we recommend a working point aligned to your load profile rather than selecting only by stall torque.

Shaft length and shaft style (round, D-shaft, threaded, press-fit pinion; per drawing review)
Lead wire length, wire gauge, polarity marking
Connector/terminal type and wire exit direction
Encoder addition (subject to space and signal requirement)
Speed/torque targeting via motor winding and planetary ratio selection

 

FAQs

Q1. What does “N10 brushed motor with planetary gearhead” mean?

It means a Ø10mm brushed DC motor is assembled with a planetary reduction gearhead as one unit. The planetary gearhead reduces speed and increases available output torque, enabling compact actuators to drive loads that direct-drive motors cannot handle reliably.

Q2. How do I choose between 1.5V, 3V and 12V options?

Select based on your power supply range and driver constraints first, then match the required output rpm/torque and duty cycle. For mechanisms with end-stops, current limiting is recommended to prevent extended stall operation and to improve repeatability in production use.

Q3. Can you customize the shaft, wires, connector, or add an encoder?

Yes. Shaft length/style, lead length, connector/terminal type, polarity marking, and wire exit direction can be configured. Encoder addition can be evaluated depending on available space and your signal/output requirements.
