Nigel Lawton 009 - 6V Micro Motor

This is a 6mm diameter x 12mm long 3 pole coreless DC motor nominally rated at 6V but suitable for running at voltages up to 12V DC with the resistor provided. It may be used as a drive motor from Z, Nn3 etc through 009/HOe/HOn30 and even in some HO/OO applications..

Each motor is supplied with a 'standard' dropper resistor which is 2.4mm diameter x 6mm long, remember to allow some lead length to each end for connecting the wires.

Click here for SMT resistor instructions.
A 'surface mount' resistor with mounting pad is available seperately if needed, The SMT resistor is about 3.6mm x 2mm x 1.5mm on its mounting pad and the connection area is within this.

Precision turned brass shaft adapters are
available to convert the 0.8mm shaft to 1mm or 1.5mm

This motor is used in my O&K Montania Loco Kit.

US Dollar/Euro pricing option:-
Micro Motor & standard resistor $12.00 or €10.00
0.8mm to 1.5mm shaft adapter $2.00 or €1.50

6 volt rated 6mm x 12mm Micro Motor
with dropper resistor (runs on 12Vdc)

You may be thinking 'why not a 12V micro motor?'. Just in case you don't think I have considered this lets just say that it has taken a couple of years to get to 6V and the evidence is pretty clear that a 12V motor this size is more or less impossible from a technical standpoint. Its all to do with how many turns of wire you need and how thin the wire needs to be as a result!

Note that the standard 1.3V micro motors are now available at reduced prices.

Note this drawing is around 2.5 times bigger than actual size.

Here are some pictures of a Marklin Z scale loco (8805) which I have re-motored with one of the 6V micro motors. It runs extremely smoothly! A suitable shaft 1mm adapter and resistor are now available.
