130 DC Motor is a compact high-speed motor designed for small DIY, educational and model-building projects. It operates between 1.5V and 6V, has a reference current of 0.2–0.4A, and can reach a stated speed of up to 23,500 RPM.
Its compact body and 2mm diameter axle make it useful for projects involving gears, propellers and small mechanical mechanisms. It can be used in model cars, model aircraft, mini fans and science experiments where a small DC motor is required.
130 DC Motor for DIY Projects
The 130 DC Motor is a useful component for hobbyists, students and makers working on small motorised projects.
Its compact size makes it suitable for projects where space is limited. You can connect the motor to a suitable main shaft, gear or propeller to transfer the motor’s rotation to the mechanical part of your project.
It is particularly useful when building or repairing small models and experimenting with simple motor-driven mechanisms.
High-Speed Mini Motor
The motor has a stated maximum speed of 23,500 RPM, making it suitable for projects where high rotational speed is required.
Its operating voltage range is 1.5–6V. When powering the motor, use a suitable supply within this specified range.
The reference current is 0.2–0.4A, which is useful information when selecting a suitable power source for your project.
Suitable for Model Cars and Aircraft
The 130 DC Motor can be used for model cars and model aircraft, as well as other small-scale mechanical projects.
A suitable gear or propeller can be attached to the motor axle depending on the design of your project. The motor’s compact dimensions make it convenient for incorporating into small model structures.
Before attaching a component, make sure the gear, propeller or coupling is compatible with the motor’s 2mm axle diameter.
Ideal for Mini Fan and Propeller Projects
The high rotational speed of the 130 DC Motor also makes it useful for small fan and propeller experiments.
Students and hobbyists can use the motor in projects that demonstrate rotation, mechanical transmission and the relationship between electrical power and motor movement.
Any rotating propeller or other attachment should be securely fitted before the motor is powered.
Compact Size for Small Projects
The motor has a compact specification of 20 × 15 × 25mm. Its axle has a 2mm diameter and an axial length of 9mm.
These measurements are important when designing a project because they help determine how the motor will fit into the available space and which mechanical components can be connected to its axle.
