Product Description
These N20 12V 120RPM Micro Metal Gear Motor With Encoder is intended for use at 12 V. Though in general, these kinds of motors can run at voltages above and below this nominal voltage; so they should comfortably operate in the 3 – 12 V range (rotation can start at voltages as low as 0.5 V).
Lower voltages might not be practical, and higher voltages could start negatively affecting the life of the motor. The micro metal gear motors are available in a wide range of gear ratios—from 5:1 up to 1000:1. With the exception of 1000:1 gear ratio versions, all of the micro metal gear motors have the same physical dimensions; so one version can be easily swapped for another if your design requirements change.

How to Use N20 12V 120RPM Micro Metal Gear Motor With Encoder
Mount the motor securely using bracket clamps or glue to your chassis, then slide the 43 mm wheel onto the D-type shaft. Connect the red and black leads to a DC motor driver (ensuring 12 V supply) and wire the encoder’s four leads (A, B, Vcc, GND) to your microcontroller’s digital inputs. Adjust PWM duty cycle for speed control and read encoder pulses for closed-loop feedback.

Frequently Asked Questions
What voltage range can I safely use with this motor?
The motor is rated for 12 V but will start rotating at voltages as low as 0.5 V and run reliably between 3 V and 12 V. Operating above 12 V may reduce lifespan.
Does this product include the wheel and encoder wiring?
Yes, each unit comes with a 43 mm plastic wheel pre-mounted on the D-shaft and 140 mm of encoder test wiring for both A and B channels.
How do I interpret the encoder signals?
The encoder provides two square-wave outputs (channels A and B). By counting pulses you can track rotations, and by monitoring the phase difference between A and B you determine direction.
