DC Gear Motor 24V Low Speed 10RPM Encoder Metal Gearmotor with Channel Encoder for DIY Engine Toy, Robot, RC Car Model

I needed a gearmotor with positional feedback for an automated roller blinds project, so I bought one of these motors for testing. The motor works, and it's performing at an acceptable level. I was able to successfully read positional feedback with a micro-controller. The noise level is somewhat normal for a DC motor of its kind, not silent but not loud. I'd say it's similar to pololu's 25D LP 12V 33RPM gearmotor, but with 75% of the torque at any given current level.My test setup is pictured here. At zero load, the motor draws 12V 50-60mA. When hoisting the 361g measuring tape over a 48mm diameter wheel, it draws 12V 110-120mA. I'd estimate that it draws 12V 0.45A - 0.6A at the rated load in the description (4.5 kg*cm). It's not a bad idea to have a buck/boost converter with a current limiter set to ~0.45A, so that your motor won't burn itself out in case of a stall.

Good motor, works as expected. I use it for my small robot. Encoder works fine too. Company provides a code for Arduino in C++, which handles encoder data and controls motor with motor class. This code contains PID controller lines, but I am not using this. I modified this code for my needs, but I did not change a core part about encoder which works fine. Finally: this is a good motor. It can be used to drive small robot. Maybe RPM is high for this, but it is acceptable for small carts.

Motor runs fine, but the encoder is completely useless: the second encoder wire is never pulled low so it doesn't actually output "grey code" like a quadrature encoder should. Not sure if other people have had this problem but I've spent a few hours trying to debug the issue and it's definitely not a problem with my code/wiring.I guess this could be usable as an encoder if you didn't need to know the direction of the motor, but otherwise it's utterly useless.

Pretty robust shell and wiring allows to be installed with little concerned about tight spaces or being to rough while handling it with tools.

I've had little luck with cheap DC motors with encoders in the past but I have to say this one is exceptionally high quality for what it costs. Encoder works no problem, and they are very quiet when compared to similar DC motors I've bought in the past.

This motor is well built, powerful, and well documented.

Used this motor in a small project, pretty cool it has a built in encoder for a feedback system

Like others reported before, in my case one of the encoder outputs is pegged to VCC, checked pull-up resistance and I'm getting a short (1ohm). The other encoder output works but its pull-up resistance is ~3Kohm (lower than 10Kohm as they advertise). Motor spins though.

No da las rpm qué prometen, es muy baja su velocidad incluso sin la caja reductora, le realice varias pruebas con su caja reductora y sin ella, el puro motor sin caja reductora no alcanza buena velocidad, parece más un motor de 100 rpm qué de 300 rpm.
