Adafruit Vibrating Mini Motor Disc 10mm 2.7mm 2.5V-3.8V 11000 RPM

SKU CH-555T-518AG

A 10 mm sealed disc motor spins at 11000 RPM on 2.5 to 3.8 V for compact haptic feedback

  • TypeRotary
  • Delivers strong haptic feedback at 11000 RPM
  • Operates from 2.5V to 3.8V for flexible power options
  • Sealed 10mm disc fits tight spaces easily
  • Draws only 40mA at 2V for low power use
  • Weighs just .9 gram for lightweight designs

Tiny Vibrating Motor Disc for Haptic Projects

This 10mm diameter disc motor delivers rotary vibration in a sealed 2.7mm thick package weighing 0.9 gram. It operates from 2.5V to 3.8V rated voltage and reaches 11000 RPM at 5V. Two wires connect directly to a battery or microcontroller pin for simple haptic feedback.

Suits Makers Adding Touch Alerts to Wearables

Builders who need a compact, self-contained vibration element for notifications or tactile cues will find it easy to embed. Projects requiring sustained high torque, precise speed control, or continuous duty at voltages above 3.8V should consider other actuator types.

Rated Voltage Range Decides Compatibility

The motor is specified for 2.5V to 3.8V operation with current draws of 40mA at 2V, 60mA at 3V, 80mA at 4V, and 100mA at 5V. Your power source must stay within this window to match the rated performance.

Questions about this item

How do I connect the red and blue wires to a microcontroller pin, and what mistake causes no vibration?

Connect the red wire to positive and the blue wire to negative on a 2.5 V to 3.8 V supply; reversing the polarity will stop the motor from vibrating.

What maintenance or replacement will this motor need over time?

The sealed disc design requires no routine maintenance; replace the unit if vibration weakens or stops after extended use.

At what point does current draw become the limiting factor during sustained operation?

At 5 V the motor draws 100 mA, so the power source must sustain that current continuously without voltage sag.
