1. What You Should Consider When
Purchasing 12v DC Electric Motors
Know What You Need
There are a number of factors to take into consideration
when purchasing 12v dc electric motors. Firstly, you need to
ensure that the motor you choose is designed for the
application you need it for. Specifically, you need to ensure
that the motor meets the following requirements:
• The motor can handle the work you need done, and it
will operate at the right speed and use the right amount
of power for the job
• You need a motor that is powered from the power
source you want it to be powered with. Purchasing the
wrong type of motor may mean you need to replace
your power source, which is not always possible and is
often pricey
• You need a motor that can work within the conditions
you have
• You need a motor that is not too expensive for the job.
You should consider the costs of buying and maintaining
the motor
• You must know the operating power that is needed
(voltage frequency, single or three phase)

2. • You must know the motor type that is needed
• You must know how much power you will need to
perform the job
Pay Attention to the Specifications
You want to ensure that you consider the specifications of
the motor and ensure they meet your requirements.
Specifically, you want to consider the:
• Nominal current
• Nominal speed
• Continuous torque
• Breakaway torque
In addition, you want to look at gear reduction, how the
manufacturer rates the power (as continuous or equivalent),
and always ensure you have an adequate power supply.
Consider Cost
Cost is always an important element of any purchase and it
should be a consideration when you are pricing out 12v dc
electric motors. Ideally, you want to find a motor with the
specifications you need for an affordable price. The best
approach is to do your research and once you know what
you want you should shop around and do a number of price
comparisons.

affordable prices than the manufacturer. A knowledgeable
