How much weight can this motor lift if it was used for a "mini" garage door opener? Door would be 50"x30". Approximately 30lbs

The maximum torque this motor could produce is approximately 0.67 lb-in peak at close to stall. The stated speed 120 RPM is assumed to be a no-load value. Using a more reasonable operating 60% of these values, the motor may approximately produce 0.4 lb-in at 90 RPM. The power available from this unit is approximately .426 watts. You want to lift a 30 lb door 30 (?) inches in an assumed 10 seconds which is approximately 10 watts. So what you are asking is will a 0.43 watt motor power a 10 watt requirement. The answer is no. (The preceding power requirement calculation does not address any added wattage requirement due to friction or drive efficiency losses which would increase the "no" to a "HELL NO")

Can I use a 12V 1A adapter with this motor?

Depends on your application. I got 20 RPM motor: no load at 12V ~100mA. No load start-up 2A. I think stall test was nearly 4A.

Do these leak grease from the gear box?

Nope no sign of any grease leaking out yet

If this motor is used as a wind turbine generator, will it output 12v at 200rpm?

I used mine as a hand crank phone charger that charged a battery pack. I worked great and the output will vary based on your load and speed, so it will probably have a lower voltage than 12v at 200RPM. You'll want to put it through a full bridge rectifier with a capacitor in parallel to produce a DC voltage, however the diodes and capacitor will also drop your voltage. The battery pack I was using was only around 6 to 7 volts DC, also the gearing in the motor is really high so for a wind turbine you would probably have to help start the blades to get them to spin.

Sehr Robust

Ich habe den Greartisan DC 12V 30RPM Getriebemotor für ein selbstgebautes Drehspieß-Projekt gesucht und bin mehr als zufrieden. Der Motor hat meine Erwartungen nicht nur erfüllt, sondern übertroffen. Für den Preis bekommt man hier eine erstaunliche Qualität und Leistung.Was ihn so besonders macht:· Perfekte Drehzahl und Kraft: Die angegebenen 30 Umdrehungen pro Minute (RPM) sind genau das, was ich für einen gleichmäßigen, langsamen Antrieb benötigt habe. Das Getriebe sorgt für ein hohes Drehmoment – der Motor läuft auch unter leichter Last (wie einem kleinen Grillspieß) absolut ruhig und zuverlässig, ohne zu stocken.· Robuste und kompakte Bauweise: Das Metall-Getriebegehäuse fühlt sich sehr wertig und stabil an. Die gesamte Verarbeitung macht einen hochwertigen Eindruck. Trotz der Kraft ist der Motor erfreulich kompakt und lässt sich gut in verschiedene Konstruktionen integrieren.· Vielseitige Anschlussmöglichkeiten: Der mitgelieferte, lange Anschlussdraht mit farbiger Kennung (rot/schwarz) macht die Verkabelung sehr einfach. Man kann ihn direkt mit einer 12V-Stromquelle (wie einem Netzteil oder einer Autobatterie) verbinden oder in eine Schaltung integrieren.· Breites Anwendungsspektrum: Dieser Motor ist ein echter Allrounder für Hobbybastler. Ob für Drehspieße, Drehteller, langsame Förderbänder, Jalousieantriebe, Modellbau oder kreative Arduino/Raspberry Pi-Projekte – die 30 RPM sind für viele langsame und kraftvolle Anwendungen ideal.· Unschlagbares Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis: Für das, was man bekommt, ist der Preis mehr als fair. Man erhält einen leistungsstarken, langlebigen Getriebemotor, für den man bei anderen Marken deutlich mehr zahlen müsste.Fazit:Der Greartisan DC 12V 30RPM Getriebemotor ist ein hervorragendes Bauteil für alle Bastler und Tüftler. Er ist kraftvoll, präzise, gut verarbeitet und zu einem fantastischen Preis zu haben. Wenn Sie einen zuverlässigen und vielseitigen Antrieb für ein DIY-Projekt suchen, liegen Sie mit diesem Motor genau richtig. Absolute Kaufempfehlung!

Good Device

Built two automatic ice fishing rod jigging machines. After a season of use, one of the gearboxes got louder. It is very easy to remove the two screws on the shaft end to grease the gears. They are indeed all metal construction - no plastic gears.

Sehr leise und kraftvoll. Super für Modellbau.

Habe 6 Stück für meinen "MARS 2020 Persevereance" Mars Rover gekauft. Sie sind sind sehr kraftvoll im Test und leise im Lauf. Der Dauereinsatz wird die Haltbarkeit noch ermitteln. Die sollten das Groẞmodell gut bewegen können. Die 6 Gewinde vorn sind sehr gut, um sie sauber zu montieren. Die ausmittigen Achsen muss man bei seinen Projekten beachten.

DC-Getriebemotor

Der Getriebemotor ist leise und kräftig, die Leerlaufstromaufnahme ist allerdings deutlich höher als beim vergleichbaren RB 35 (über 100mA im Vergleich zu 50mA).
