Pololu 75:1 Micro Metal Gearmotor HPCB 6V w/ 12 CPR Encoder, Back Connector
Equipped with high-power 6V motor and carbon brushes
Provides 75.81:1 gear ratio with brass plates
Features 12 CPR incremental quadrature encoder
Delivers precise measurement of speed and direction
Includes 10×12 mm gearbox cross-section
The Pololu 75:1 Micro Metal Gearmotor HPCB 6V w/ 12 CPR Encoder, Back Connector is a compact brushed DC motor equipped with a high-power 6V motor and carbon brushes, featuring a 75.81:1 gear ratio. This gearmotor includes an integrated two-channel incremental Hall effect encoder, which senses the rotation of a magnetic disk on a rear protrusion of the motor shaft, providing a resolution of 12 counts per revolution (CPR) of the motor shaft. The encoders quadrature outputs allow for precise measurement of motor speed and direction.
The motors gearbox has a cross-section of 10×12 mm and a 9 mm-long, 3 mm-diameter D-shaped output shaft. The encoder is available with a back connector, oriented parallel to the motor, and works with 6-pin JST SH-style cables and connector boards. The motor terminals are connected to the M1 and M2 connector pins, and the sensors are powered through the Vcc and GND pins. The quadrature outputs A and B are digital signals that indicate motor direction and speed.
This gearmotor is part of the Micro Metal Gearmotor family, which includes various gear ratios, motor windings, brushes, and encoder configurations. The HPCB versions, with long-life carbon brushes, offer consistent performance at their respective nominal voltages. The gearboxes use brass plates for most versions, except for the 380:1 ratio, which employs steel plates for enhanced durability.
Note: Stall torque and stall current specifications are theoretical values; stalls could damage the motor or gearbox.

Products must be returned in unused, unmodified condition (e.g., no scratches, alterations, missing parts, or signs of installation/use) and in their original packaging, suitable for resale.
Shipping fees are non-refundable. Return shipping costs are the responsibility of the customer, except in cases of a product confirmed defective through RobotShop's troubleshooting process or of a verified shipping error by RobotShop.
Refunds are processed within 7 days after receipt and inspection of the returned item.
A $100 cleaning fee may apply to domestic robots returned in used or unclean condition.
A 20% restocking fee may apply to large-quantity returns of items ordered specifically for the customer from the manufacturer or not part of RobotShop's standard inventory.
Return Exceptions
The following products are not eligible for return or refund under this policy:
Used, damaged, or modified products — Items that show signs of use, wear, or alteration, making them unsuitable for resale.
Consumables — Use and wear-and-tear components, altered or depleted through use (e.g., batteries, belts, brushes, gears, filament, tires, disposable bags, lubricants, greases, waxes, etc.). Not eligible for return once opened or used.
Perishables — Goods liable to deteriorate or expire rapidly. Not eligible for return.
Sealed goods (health or hygiene) — Items sealed for health-protection or hygiene reasons (e.g., masks, gloves, odor-absorbing products). Not eligible for return once unsealed.
Build-it-yourself products and items requiring customer assembly — Including robots & kits, robot parts, and other products requiring assembly or soldering. Not eligible for return once assembled, soldered, or installed.
Digital Goods, Software, and Apps — Final sale only, due to licensing restrictions.
Clearance Items — Products identified as clearance or final sale, including end-of-life or discontinued items.
Custom-made, personalized, or special-order items — Products manufactured, configured, adapted, or built to the customer's own specifications and requirements.
On-Demand Items — Standard catalogue products not stocked by RobotShop and ordered specifically to fulfill a customer request.
While the same return policy applies, these orders require a separate contact process for returns.
RobotShop Fulfilled Orders → submit a support ticket from your account under My Support Tickets.
Marketplace Vendor Orders → submit a ticket from your account under My Marketplace Tickets to contact the vendor directly.
Note: Marketplace vendor products are normally labelled with SKUs starting with RM, and identified on the product page with the mention "Sold and fulfilled by [Vendor Name]".
