Description

Worm Gear Reducing Motor — Reliable Torque for Every DC-Powered Project

When your DIY automation, robotics, or lifting system demands consistent torque and precise speed control, a weak or unreliable motor becomes the bottleneck. The 5840-31ZY Worm Gear Reducing Motor is engineered for makers, hobbyists, and professionals who need a compact, self-locking drive solution they can count on.

Built around a double-shaft configuration, this motor pairs a copper worm gear with fully machined steel teeth and double ball bearings. It operates on 12V or 24V DC and covers a wide speed range of 5–470 RPM, with a maximum bearing capacity of 70 kg. The compact gearbox integrates directly with the motor body, keeping your build tight and efficient.

Whether you're building a motorized camera slider, an automated window opener, or a small conveyor system, the 5840-31ZY delivers the low-speed, high-torque output needed for smooth, controlled movement in demanding applications.

✅ Compatible with 12V and 24V DC power supplies. Suitable for household appliances, office equipment, medical devices, electric tools, intelligent automation systems, and industrial drive applications.

Key Features

  • ⚙️ Copper Worm Gear + Steel Teeth: Fully machined steel gear teeth paired with a copper worm gear deliver smooth meshing, reduced wear, and long service life under continuous load.
  • 🔩 Double Ball Bearings: Dual ball bearing support on both shafts minimizes radial play and axial wobble, ensuring stable rotation even under eccentric or side-load conditions.
  • 🔄 Wide Speed Range — 5 to 470 RPM: Twenty speed variants across 12V and 24V allow you to select the exact output speed your application requires, from slow-crawl positioning to moderate-speed drives.
  • 🔌 Dual Voltage — 12V / 24V DC: Operates on both 12V and 24V systems, making it easy to integrate into battery-powered builds, automotive projects, or mains-powered DC supplies.
  • 🔐 Self-Locking Worm Drive: The worm gear geometry provides inherent self-locking when the motor is unpowered, preventing back-drive and holding position without a separate brake mechanism.
  • 📐 Double Output Shaft: Dual shaft ends allow simultaneous or alternative connection on both sides of the gearbox, giving you greater flexibility in mounting and power transmission layouts.

Frequently Asked Questions

What voltages does this motor support?
This motor is available in both 12V DC and 24V DC variants. Select your required voltage when choosing a model number at checkout.
What speed options are available?
Speed options range from 5 RPM to 470 RPM. Available speeds include 5, 10, 12, 16, 27, 40, 80, 160, 260, and 470 RPM for both 12V and 24V configurations.
Is this motor self-locking when powered off?
Yes. The worm gear design provides inherent self-locking, meaning the output shaft will not back-drive when the motor is unpowered. This is useful for holding position in lifting or positioning applications.
What is the maximum load this motor can handle?
The maximum bearing capacity of the gear is 70 kg. Exceeding this load or blocking the shaft under power for extended periods can damage or burn out the motor.
Can I use both output shafts simultaneously?
Yes. The double-shaft design allows you to connect loads on either or both ends of the output shaft, providing flexibility in your mechanical layout.
What applications is this motor suitable for?
This motor is widely used in household appliances, audio-visual products, office equipment, massage and healthcare devices, beauty and fitness equipment, medical equipment, toys, electric tools, automatic spray systems, automotive automation, intelligent control systems, and general industrial drive applications.
What happens if the motor is stalled for too long?
Prolonged stalling (blocking the shaft while powered) generates excessive heat and will typically burn out the motor windings. Always ensure the load is within the rated capacity and avoid mechanical blockage during operation.
