6mm

Plastic planetary gear motors can provide a wide range of gear reduction ratios in a compact package combining high strength, low noise and great value. These features make this gear motor a good choice in various applications, as detailed below.

Plastic planetary gearheads have one or more stages of gear reduction all in line with the motor shaft. Internal gears are made of plastic. The outer body or casing is also made of plastic. Like metal gear planetary gearheads, each stage has three or four gears in mesh, providing considerably greater strength than simple spur gearheads.
