R280 Carbon Brush DC Motor | High Torque & Voltage 3–24V
R280 Carbon Brush DC Motor | High Torque & Voltage 3–24V
R280 Carbon Brush DC Motor – Versatile, Powerful & Long-Lasting
The R280 DC Carbon Brush Motor is a compact, reliable motor designed for hobbyists, makers, and engineers who need consistent performance across a wide voltage range. Available in two configurations — High-Torque (DC 3–9V) and High-Voltage (DC 5–24V) — this motor delivers strong circular magnetic field performance and a durable carbon brush design built for extended use.
Choose Your Configuration
🔧 High-Torque R280 Motor (DC 3–9V)
- 3V: ~7,000 RPM
- 6V: ~14,000 RPM
- 9V: ~21,000 RPM
The higher the voltage, the greater the rotational speed. This variant delivers strong torque and is ideal for remote control cars, small robotic projects, and compact household appliances.
⚡ High-Voltage R280 Motor (DC 5–24V)
- 5V: ~1,270 RPM
- 12V: ~3,400 RPM
- 24V: ~7,000 RPM
This low-speed, energy-efficient variant is engineered for high-voltage tolerance up to 24V. It features a long service life and is well-suited for small household devices and DIY electronic projects.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the difference between the High-Torque (DC 3–9V) and High-Voltage (DC 5–24V) R280 motors?
A: The High-Torque R280 motor operates at 3–9V and spins at speeds up to 21,000 RPM, making it ideal for RC cars and high-speed applications. The High-Voltage R280 motor runs at 5–24V with lower RPMs (up to 7,000 at 24V), making it better suited for energy-efficient, long-run-time applications like small household appliances and low-speed mechanisms.
Q: Is the R280 carbon brush DC motor compatible with remote control cars?
A: Yes! The High-Torque (DC 3–9V) variant is specifically well-suited for remote control cars and other compact motorized hobby vehicles, offering strong performance within that voltage range.
Q: How do I know which voltage setting to use with my R280 DC motor?
A: Start with the minimum recommended voltage for your chosen variant (3V for the high-torque model, 5V for the high-voltage model) and increase gradually. Higher voltages result in higher RPMs — always stay within the specified range to protect the motor's lifespan.
Q: How long does the R280 DC motor last?
A: The carbon brush construction and strong magnetic design contribute to a long service life, especially in the high-voltage variant. Keeping the motor within its rated voltage range and ensuring adequate ventilation will maximize its durability.
