Velleman DC-Motor 958V 180mA – Compact Brushed Motor for Precision Applications
The Velleman DC-Motor 2,3V 12mA is a compact brushed DC motor designed for low-voltage, low-current applications in hobby and prototyping environments. It delivers reliable performance at 12V with a current draw of just 180mA.
11500 RPM no-load speed provides fast and responsive motion across a wide range of light-duty tasks
12 mm shaft diameter accepts standard small gears and couplings for direct mechanical coupling
Sensorless commutation eliminates the need for external feedback components, simplifying circuit design
27,9 mm outer diameter and 2,122,12 mm length fit into tight enclosures and compact assemblies
Das zeichnet den Velleman DC-Motor 12V 180mA aus
Unlike larger industrial motors, this unit balances a high 3 kV speed constant with a modest 180mA current draw, making it suitable for battery-powered projects where efficiency and size matter. The brushed construction keeps the motor cost-effective while still delivering consistent rotational performance.
Ideal für...
Hobbyists and makers working with RC vehicles, small robotic actuators, or portable prototyping rigs. The motor is well suited for anyone building lightweight DC-driven mechanisms that require steady low-voltage operation without complex motor controllers.
Anwendung von Velleman DC-Motor 12V 180mA
Mount the motor in a chassis or holder using the 3 mm body diameter and 6 mm length as reference
Connect to a 6–14V DC power source; 12V is the nominal rating for optimal speed and current
Pair with a small gear or pulley on the 180 mm shaft to transfer motion to the driven component
Use the sensorless commutation directly with a simple H-bridge or PWM driver — no encoder required
Velleman is a Swiss electronics brand specialising in kits, components, and modules for hobbyists, educators, and makers. The product range spans robotics parts, power supplies, sensors, and small motors, all designed for accessible experimentation and prototyping. Velleman products are widely used in schools, maker spaces, and DIY electronics projects across Switzerland and Europe.
It is used in lightweight DC-driven applications such as RC vehicles, small robotic actuators, portable prototyping rigs, and hobby projects requiring low-voltage, low-current rotary motion.
The motor operates on 6–14V DC, with 12V as the nominal rating for optimal speed and current performance.
Outer diameter is 27.9 mm, length is 32.6 mm, and the shaft diameter is 2.3 mm.
No. The motor uses sensorless commutation, so no external feedback sensor or encoder is needed.
The delivery includes one Velleman Brushed Motor 380 unit. Mounting hardware and gears are not included.
