Description

The 150 RPM Geared Motor is a compact, high-torque, and high-reliability motor designed for various Internet of Things (IoT) applications, robotics, and automation projects. This motor is a type of DC Gear Motor, which combines a DC motor with a gearbox to achieve high torque and low speed.

Functionality

The primary function of the 150 RPM Geared Motor is to provide a stable and controlled rotational motion to a load, such as a wheel, gear, or other mechanical components. The motor operates on a DC power supply, and the gearbox amplifies the motor's torque while reducing its speed, making it suitable for applications requiring high torque and low speed.

Key Features

  • Speed: The motor has a nominal speed of 150 RPM, making it suitable for applications requiring slow and precise motion.
  • Torque: The geared motor can deliver high torque, making it capable of handling loads that require significant rotational force.
  • Gear Ratio: The gearbox has a gear ratio that amplifies the motor's torque, allowing the motor to achieve high torque while maintaining a low speed.
  • DC Power Supply: The motor operates on a DC power supply, typically ranging from 6V to 12V.
  • Compact Design: The motor has a compact design, making it suitable for use in small spaces and tight enclosures.
  • High Reliability: The motor is designed for high reliability and durability, making it suitable for use in applications where continuous operation is required.
  • Low Noise: The motor operates quietly, making it suitable for use in applications where noise needs to be minimized.
  • Reversible: The motor can be reversed by simply reversing the polarity of the DC power supply.

Pin Configuration

  • 150 RPM Geared Motor Documentation
  • Pin Description:
  • The 150 RPM Geared Motor has a total of 4 pins, which are used to control the motor's rotation and direction. The pins are labeled as follows:
  • VCC (Pin 1): Positive Power Supply
  • GND (Pin 2): Ground
  • IN1 (Pin 3): Input 1 (Direction Control)
  • IN2 (Pin 4): Input 2 (Direction Control)
  • Pin Connection and Configuration:
  • To connect the 150 RPM Geared Motor, follow the points below:
  • 1. VCC (Pin 1) Connection:
  • Connect the VCC pin to a positive power supply (e.g., a DC power source or a battery) with a voltage rating suitable for the motor (typical voltage range: 3-12V).
  • Ensure the power supply is capable of providing the required current to drive the motor (typically in the range of 100-500mA).
  • 2. GND (Pin 2) Connection:
  • Connect the GND pin to the negative terminal of the power supply or the ground of the circuit.
  • This connection is essential for completing the circuit and allowing the motor to operate.
  • 3. IN1 (Pin 3) and IN2 (Pin 4) Connection:
  • Connect IN1 and IN2 pins to a microcontroller or a motor driver IC (such as L293D or DRV8833) that can provide the required logic signals to control the motor's direction.
  • The IN1 and IN2 pins are used to control the motor's rotation direction:
  • + When IN1 is HIGH and IN2 is LOW, the motor rotates in one direction (e.g., clockwise).
  • + When IN1 is LOW and IN2 is HIGH, the motor rotates in the opposite direction (e.g., counterclockwise).
  • + When both IN1 and IN2 are LOW, the motor stops rotating.
  • Important Notes:
  • Ensure the motor is connected to a suitable power supply and that the voltage and current ratings are not exceeded.
  • Use a motor driver IC or a suitable circuit to control the motor's rotation and direction, as the motor may not function correctly or may be damaged if connected directly to a microcontroller.
  • For precise control and smooth operation, use a PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) signal to control the motor's speed.
  • Always refer to the motor's datasheet and the microcontroller or motor driver IC's documentation for specific connection and configuration details.
  • By following these pin connection and configuration guidelines, you can successfully integrate the 150 RPM Geared Motor into your IoT project or application.

    digitalWrite(clkPin, HIGH);
    delayMicroseconds(500);
    digitalWrite(clkPin, LOW);
    delayMicroseconds(500);
  }
// Rotate counter-clockwise for 5 seconds
  digitalWrite(dirPin, LOW);
  for (int i = 0; i < 5000; i++) {
    digitalWrite(clkPin, HIGH);
    delayMicroseconds(500);
    digitalWrite(clkPin, LOW);

GPIO.setmode(GPIO.BCM)
DIR_PIN = 17  # Direction pin
CLK_PIN = 23  # Clock pin
GPIO.setup(DIR_PIN, GPIO.OUT)
GPIO.setup(CLK_PIN, GPIO.OUT)
# Set direction pin high for clockwise rotation
GPIO.output(DIR_PIN, GPIO.HIGH)
# Set initial motor speed (50% duty cycle)
pwm = GPIO.PWM(CLK_PIN, 50)
pwm.start(50)
try:
    while True:
        # Change motor speed every 2 seconds
        for dc in range(0, 101, 10):
            pwm.ChangeDutyCycle(dc)
            time.sleep(2)
except KeyboardInterrupt:
    pwm.stop()
    GPIO.cleanup()
```
