Do you ever wonder how machines work and move? Have I told you about a special helper we call a motor? This motor is special, it's tiny but super cool and we will learn about it today!
This is a 24 volt DC planetary geared motor. It sounds like a big, tricky name, but it’s just a tiny machine that helps other machinery do its job. A robot little enough to dance around, stirring things up.
The motor is incredibly small — small enough to cup in your hand. But that certainly does not define it by ANY means! It is tiny but quite mighty. It can operate in harsh environments such as large factories where machinery must be rugged and reliable.
Once this motor gets power, it can assist machines perform a variety of tasks. Perhaps it assists a robot arm in movement, or helps a factory machine spin something. It is like a little superhero for machines!
Engineers and builders get jazzed up about motors like this. They also use it to control movement of robots, improve machines in factories and do interesting things in the home.
It only takes a small amount of power from the motor — 24 volts. That means it requires minimal electricity to operate. A little helper that can help a lot, but doesn't consume too much energy.
