Common questions about the Alinan mini motors
What voltage gives the highest speed? 12V delivers 6500 RPM. Lower voltages produce slower speeds suitable for gentle projects.
What is the shaft diameter? The shaft is 2.0mm (0.08") wide, fitting standard small couplings or propellers.
Can these generate electricity? Yes, they can be used as generators in wind turbine or hand-cranked models, converting mechanical energy into DC voltage.
Are they suitable for beginners? Yes, the simple two-wire connection makes them ideal for kids and hobbyists learning about motors and circuits.
