The link is here: https://www.desertcart.com/dp/B077CGLK4P This is a brand new electric gear motor that has an extremely high torque and is speed adjustable with a PWM (Pulse Width Modulating) controller. The gear motor is measured to be 7 inch long and the motor itself has a diameter of 2.5 inches. Drive shaft is a 3/8" shaft with 1 flat ("D" shaft) where flat to OD is 0.322" and the length of the shaft is 0.886" long. Rated voltage of this gear motor is 13.5 VDC and maximum speed is 50 RPM. Rated output load is 60 watts and output toruqe at 50 RPM is 6 N-m (4.4 ft-lb). Mounting is based on M6 screw mounting. The 12V DC PWM controller features a 5 inches(12.7 cm) long connection to its potentiometer. The potentiometer has a on/off switch built-in with a knob. There are connectors between the gear motor and the controller. To run the gear motor in CW rotation, please connect motor's green connector to controller's red connector and motor's red connector to controller's black connector. To run the gear motor in CCW rotation, please connect motor's green connector to controller's black connector and motor's red connector to controller's red connector. The distance of the connection wires between the motor and the controller is 10 inches(25.4 cm). The distance of the 12v connection wire is 12 in(30.5 cm) long. Review: Great value for your dollar - My husband has been looking for a motor like this one for a while. This motor seems like it's very sturdy and I do believe that the value for the money is there. It is for us anyway. It turns our homemade fish scaler just perfectly and that makes us very happy! Review: Excellent motor and even better customer service - Bought this set in October 2021 for a project I was building for a customer. Everything worked as it should without exceptions. I ended up overpowering the motor and stripping the gears. I order another 2 and immediately broke another. The owner of this company reached out to me, actually called and discussed the problem as well as 20+ emails and helped me determine not only do I need a much larger motor, but also helped me devise some simple ways to mitigate future failures with my project! This is a stand up company run by an honest,honorable, and kind person. Thank you for all your help and I will be doing business with you more in the future. ## Features - Variable Speed Motor - PMDC Gear Motor - 12VDC Gearmotor - 12V PWM Controller ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B076C5FKR4 | | Best Sellers Rank | #898,079 in Tools & Home Improvement ( See Top 100 in Tools & Home Improvement ) #248 in Permanent Magnet Motors | | Brand | Makermotor | | Date First Available | September 8, 2011 | | Horsepower | 60 Watts | | Item Weight | 4 pounds | | Item model number | PN00409-38 | | Manufacturer | Makermotor | | Material | Copper | | Model Name | gear | | Speed | 50 RPM | | Voltage | 12 Volts | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Makermotor - **Horsepower:** 60 Watts - **Model Name:** gear - **Speed:** 50 RPM - **Voltage:** 12 Volts ## Images ![Makermotor 3/8" D Shaft Variable Speed Electric Gear Motor 12VDC Max. 50RPM - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71ihJWRjdGL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great value for your dollar *by M***E on April 27, 2021* My husband has been looking for a motor like this one for a while.

The speed controller works, but the power pulses are large and spaced apart enough that I get the feeling that they are sort of "hammering" the motor. Maybe the motor is designed to absorb that, I don't know. A different speed controller I tried has a much smoother action and allows the motor to spin a little slower, too. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.cy/products/57432731-makermotor-3-8-d-shaft-variable-speed-electric-gear-motor](https://www.desertcart.com.cy/products/57432731-makermotor-3-8-d-shaft-variable-speed-electric-gear-motor) --- *Product available on Desertcart Cyprus* *Store origin: CY* *Last updated: 2026-04-25*
