Small Reduction Stepper Motor - 12VDC 32-Step 1/16 Gearing
Unipolar stepper motor with 1/16 internal gear reduction yielding ~516 steps per output revolution at 12V. Higher torque than ungeared steppers; max practical speed ~20 RPM at 12V. Use single or double stepping only — microstepping is impractical with this gear ratio.
