These are really geared reduction motors, but much smaller and of lower power. Often used to operate cams and switches in electrical circuits, or to drive displays, they can generally be operated in continuous applications if not heavily loaded. Most are about 2" dia. x 1-1/2" thick. You'll need a way of supplying 230VAC.

This little L-shaped low-pressure piston-and-diaphragm air pump has a 7/32" OD inlet and an 11/32” OD x 9/32” ID outlet, and is attached to a Mabuchi RK-555PH 12VDC motor that draws 100mA no load, stalls at 4.3A, and spins approx 3500 RPM. Measures 4" x 1-5/8" x 3" with 2” leads.

Our Technical Identification Division (CJ) says this is most likely a take-out timer motor from a washing machine. "Probably." Measures just under 2" dia x just under 1" thick, not counting little wings with 5/32" mounting holes and a 10-tooth 5/32" gear. Draws 3W at 115VAC (it has leads but you supply the cord) and spins appx. 8.5RPM. Intermittent duty.

These small timing motors draw 3W and are just under 2" dia x approx 3/4" thick with mounting wings that have (3) 1/8" holes. You pick: the 11VAC motor that spins 1 rpm CCW with a 3/4" long shaft with an attached 3/4" dia x 1/4" thick 16-tooth gear, 24-pitch and 20-degree pressure angle; or the 24VAC motor that spins 1 rpm CW and has an 8-tooth, 5/16" dia x 11/32" plastic gear, 32-pitch and 20-degree pressure angle.

This 12VDC tin-can stepper motor from the Nippon Pulse Motor Co. is a uni-polar 2-phase with 50 Ohm coils drawing 240mA per phase. Moves 48 steps/revolution with a 1/10 gear head at the output. Measures 1-5/8" dia x 1-1/2" on a 1-11/16" square mounting with 1/8" mounting holes. The offset flattened shaft is 1/2" long x 3/16" dia. Has (6) leads with a Molex connector. Part #PF42-48.

We’re guessing it’s from a medical device, but we know for sure that it’s a pump assembly from The Lee Company of Connecticut. Looks expensive, like it should cost more than ten times our price, and that’s why you shop here. Has a 2-phase (275mA/PH) 4.4VDC stepper motor, a Honeywell microswitch home sensor and a secondary pressure sensor leading to a 3/32” outlet barb. Has 250uL volume and measures 5-3/8” x 1-1/2” dia with separate wiring to the sensors and motor. Item# LPVX0517.

Because it’s a new take-out fan motor from Welling Service Co., made for air conditioner-humidifiers. Rated for 115VAC, 16W, spins approx 1400 rpm via a 2-1/2” x 5/16” threaded shaft which will most likely have a nut on the end. Has 12” long leads, (2) of which are for a 6uF capacitor (not included). Rotates counter-clockwise and measures 2-5/8" dia x 2-7/16" deep. Has (4) mounting holes on wings. Welling part #YSLB-16-002-001.

This takeout fan from an un-used AC unit draws 42W at 115VAC and spins both a 12” dia, 5-blade fan blade and a 7-1/2” x 2-3/8” squirrel cage at approx 900 rpm. The motor in the middle measures 3-3/4” dia x 3-1/2” with a 5/16” shaft that extends 2-1/2” out of one side and 2-1/8” out of the other. Has 14” leads and rotates clockwise. You’ll need a 250V 6uF start capacitor. UL.

Double shafted doozy! 6300 RPM reversible mabuchi motor runs between 3-9VDC with its nominal voltage being 9VDC. Draws 20mA not loaded and 200mA fully loaded. 1-1/4" x 15/16" diameter with a shaft that measures 7/16" x 1/16". Tiny spade terminals for easy connection.

Little takeout 3-6VDC Mabuchi motors (6VDC nominal) spin approx 4000 rpm and draw 50mA no load. Stall at 300mA and measure 1-1/2" long x 1-1/16" dia with a 1/2” long x 3/32” dia shaft with a 2-sheave 9/16” dia pulley. Sheaves are 1/16” ID. Wired with 2” leads for super easy battery or wall adapter hook up. These were originally from copiers so you'll want to wipe 'em down before use.

This approx 15” long squirrel cage blower assembly operates at 115VAC, draws 20 watts and rotates at a gutsy 1500 rpm. Requires a 3uF start capacitor (not included). Squirrel cage is 10-5/8" long x 4-3/8" with a 3-5/8” x 4-3/8” motor. Has a 1/4" x 1" shaft, and rotates counterclockwise. UL.

Little takeout 3-6VDC Mabuchi motors (6VDC nominal) spin approx 4000 rpm and draw 50mA no load. Stall at 300mA and measure 1-1/2" long x 1-1/16" dia with a 1/2” long x 3/32” dia shaft with a 2-sheave 9/16” dia pulley. Sheaves are 1/16” ID. Wired with 2” leads (positive and negative) for super easy battery or wall adapter hook up. A little dusty but incredible for scout projects, classroom robotics projects or making your own army of walking zombies.

Of course you’re not, but you might like squirrel-cage fans like we do. If so, this take-out, cream-colored ABS plastic squirrel-cage blade is for you. Originally from portable AC units, they measure 6-3/4" dia x 3-3/8" across with a flattened 5/16" ID bore and a 3/4" shaft that extends 7/8” into the cage. Could be re-rigged for a gerbil wheel. Made in USA.

These small, new motors for oil-heater louvered doors were made for, but never installed in, WWII-era B-17s and B-24s. High torque, low rpm, these collectible 24VDC 1.5A motors measure 5-1/8" long x 3-1/2" dia on the shaft side and 2-3/8" dia on the other end, in a blunted bullet shape. The 15-tooth output shaft is 3/4" long x 1/2" dia, centered on the large end with a trim screw offset for some speed control, and a 4-pin Amphenol connector. Rated at 24VDC but will operate between 12-26VDC. These are of particular interest to us because the sample, at least, was manufactured right down the road from us in Rockford, Illinois, by the Barber-Colman Company!

Maybe. This 3-12VDC reversible gear motor might could (as they say in the Carolinas) have come out of a camera assembly, or not. Either way it's great for artists and hobbyists. Measures 4-1/2" x 2-3/4" x 2" in a plastic housing. Spins approx 80 rpm at 12VDC with a 1/4" dia x 9/16" flattened shaft. Has (3) external rotating encoder discs and a smaller, stubby 1/4" x 1/4" secondary shaft. Quite torque-y and would make an excellent robot motor. Has (2) 4" leads.

This tiny vibrator motor spins approx 1300 rpm at 1.5VDC and measures just 3/8" long x 5/32" dia with a cam-less 3/32" long x 1/32" shaft. The cam-less-ness makes it vibration-less. So you could say that it's a vibration motor without the vibration. Has 7/8"-long tinned leads for power.
