Small Reduction Stepper Motor - 5VDC 32-Step 1/16 Gearing

OverviewPinoutWiringAlternatesRelated groups
Small Reduction Stepper Motor - 5VDC 32-Step 1/16 Gearing — Adafruit — 858
STEP

Unipolar stepper motor with 1/16 internal gear reduction yielding ~516 steps per output revolution at 5V. Higher torque than ungeared steppers; max practical speed ~6 RPM at 5V. Use single or double stepping only — microstepping is impractical with this gear ratio.
