This upgraded TT DC Gear Motor includes a built-in cam/lever mechanism that converts rotation into smooth up-and-down motion. It's perfect for robotics projects, school models, Arduino builds, animatronics, and any DIY system that requires repeated vertical movement.
Full Product Description
This TT DC Gear Motor comes pre-assembled with a vertical-motion cam attachment designed to generate precise reciprocating (up-down) movement. As the motor rotates, the integrated angled wheel (cam disc) lifts and lowers the connected rod or wire through the mounting hole. This makes it ideal for small mechanisms where linear motion is needed without the complexity of a full actuator.
The module also includes small signal tabs/contacts that can be used for revolution feedback, switches, or sensors if needed for advanced projects.
Whether you're building automation prototypes, science models, or mechanical motion displays, this compact module delivers reliable performance and easy integration with Arduino, Raspberry Pi, and other microcontroller platforms.
