In addition to our collection of somewhat specialized motors, this rotary door lock motor is a DC gearbox motor with a small notch that is intended for a door mechanism. The motor only rotates 90 degrees clockwise or counter-clockwise and will stall if you try to keep it rotating beyond the angle.

It is oriented downwards so that it has a high torque, but this also slows it down - it takes about 5 seconds for it to turn'closed' or'open'. That being said, we like that you can power it from about 5V so that it is easy to connect to your microcontroller.


Built with four mounting holes and runs silently. We no longer have any specifications or documentation for this beast.
