Electric Motor
Product Code : LSK-PL-10336
Electric Motor (SKU LSK-PL-10336) is a miniature DC motor that runs on 1.5 to 4.5 V, suited to models, robotics and educational demonstration equipment. Two flat sides allow it to be mounted on a printed circuit board, and solder tags make permanent connections easy. It suits science projects, Class 6–10 electricity work and technology classes. Project kits and class quantities of the motor can be quoted by Science Lab Supplies in Ambala, India, for schools, colleges, training institutes, contractors and distributors.
Specifications
Body, shaft, voltage and mounting details of the miniature motor are tabulated below. In short, the body is 20 mm in diameter with 15 mm across the two flats and weighs about 17 g; a 2 mm shaft extends 9 mm, rotation is counter-clockwise from the shaft end, and it runs from 1.5 to 4.5 V DC.

Applications and Experiments for the Electric Motor
The motor turns electrical energy into rotation at battery voltages, making it a practical part for student projects and for showing that current in a magnetic field produces motion. Its miniature size and flat sides let it be built into models, fans, vehicles and robotics kits.
- Class 8–10 science: demonstrating the conversion of electrical energy into motion, as with the fan on a Junior Circuit Board.
- Class 10 magnetic effects of current: linking the motor principle to a working device.
- Reversing the supply polarity, for example with a Reversing Key Commutator For Lab, to show that the direction of rotation changes.
- Science fair, STEM and robotics projects powered by AA cells.
Standard Scope of Supply
The Electric Motor is supplied as a single unit as described above; any optional accessories are named on the quotation. Cells, a battery holder and connecting wire can be added to the same enquiry as separate items so the motor circuit is complete.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
Quotations cover a single motor or a quantity for a whole class project, and each lists the packing, delivery time and price for the number requested. Battery holders, clips and switches can be added so that complete motor circuits are priced together.
Registered as an exporter with an Importer-Exporter Code, Science Lab Supplies is able to ship to buyers in Malaysia, Peru, Egypt, Iraq, Nigeria and Kenya. Science Lab Supplies is registered for GST (GSTIN 06ADEPJ0574F2ZU). Motor quantities for a project class can be sent through the contact page or added to the enquiry cart, and school tenders are handled on the lab tender page.
Frequently Asked Questions
What voltage does the Electric Motor need?
It operates from 1.5 to 4.5 V DC, which one to three 1.5 V cells in series can provide, so a simple battery holder can power it in a project circuit.
How is the motor mounted and connected?
Its two flat sides, 15 mm apart, allow mounting on a PCB, and connecting wires are soldered to the solder tag terminals for a permanent joint.
Who supplies the Electric Motor?
Orders for this miniature motor are quoted and dispatched by Science Lab Supplies from Ambala, India, whether a school needs a few pieces or enough for a whole project class.
Which way does the motor turn?
It rotates counter-clockwise when viewed from the shaft end. Reversing the supply connections reverses the direction of rotation, which shows students how current direction changes the motion.
