N20 Gear motors

What Is N20 Gear Motor?

The N20 gear motor is a compact DC motor with an integrated gearbox that allows it to reduce output shaft speed while delivering higher torque.

In the technological world of DC motors, sometimes a simple name hides a curious story. Let Annie take you to uncover the mystery of the “N20 gear motor “!

The N20 gear motor is a compact direct current (DC) motor, and the term “N20” indicates its physical size. It usually consists of an N20 motor combined with a spur gear reducer. The gear reducer converts the high speed, low torque output of the N20 motor into low-speed, high-torque output, thus providing greater torque for a wide range of applications. You can find the N20 micro gear motor in our range of spur gear motors.

N20 DC motor

Why is it called N20 DC Motor ?

“N20” represents N20 motor’s physical size, usually measuring 15mm x 12mm x 10mm (length x width x height). Motors of this size are typically very small, making them ideal for applications requiring high performance in limited spaces.

We matched the N20 DC motor with common Spur gearbox, Planetary gearbox, and Worm gearbox, resulting in three different types of N20 DC gear motors. Of course, we can also match them with the right N20 motor encoder, learn more here: N20 encoder motor

N20 Worm Gear Motor: The N20 worm gear motor features a worm gear mechanism in its gearbox. Worm gears consist of a spiral-shaped “worm” gear that meshes with a cylindrical gear, also known as the worm wheel. This arrangement allows for a high gear ratio, which means it can provide a significant reduction in output shaft speed while increasing torque. N20 worm gear motors are commonly used in applications that require high gear reduction and better holding capabilities since the worm gear design prevents backdriving.

The N20 gear motor is widely used in various products due to its compact size, high efficiency, and high torque output. Here are some common applications of the N20 gear motor:

Robotics: N20 motors are used for joint actuation and motion control in small robotic arms, leg movements, and rotating components like robot eyes and heads.

Camera Gimbal: In photography and filming equipment, N20 motors are used to control the rotation and tilt of camera gimbals, ensuring smooth and stable camera movements.

Smart Home Devices: N20 motors are employed in smart home products to control the motion and positioning of devices such as smart curtains, door locks, and automatic doors. Model Making: N20 motors are popular choices in model airplanes, cars, boats, and other model-making projects, providing power and motion control.
