FFF CompatibilityIdentical back-facing encoder connector interface, 3 mm D-shaft, and mounting pattern.Identical outer dimensions and weight.Features a lower gear ratio of 298:1 (compared to 380:1), resulting in a higher no-load speed (110 RPM vs 85 RPM) and lower stall torque (3.4 kg-cm vs 5.0 kg-cm).Has the identical back-facing JST SH connector and same mounting bracket compatibility.Identical physical dimensions (10x12 mm gearbox and 3 mm diameter D-shaft).Uses precious metal brushes (HP) instead of carbon brushes (HPCB). It has a lower stall current rating (1.6 A vs 5.0 A) and a shorter operational lifespan under high-wear or continuous-duty cycles.
AI Summary

5200 by Pololu: Brushed DC Motor Gearmotor 85 RPM Incremental 6V.

The 5198 is a direct physical equivalent from the same HPCB series but with a lower gear ratio of 298:1. It is ideal if you can trade off some stall torque (3.4 kg-cm vs 5.0 kg-cm) to achieve a higher output speed (110 RPM vs 85 RPM).

  • Identical physical layout, mounting holes, and back-pointing encoder connector
  • Higher no-load speed (110 RPM vs 85 RPM) for faster operation
  • Same long-life High-Power Carbon Brush (HPCB) motor construction
  • Lower stall torque (3.4 kg-cm vs 5.0 kg-cm).
  • Faster rotation may require software PID adjustment in closed-loop systems.

The 5174 is a high-power alternative with precious metal brushes instead of carbon brushes. It offers almost identical speed and slightly higher stall torque, but it cannot handle continuous high-current stalls as well as the carbon-brush variant, and it has a shorter mechanical lifespan.

  • Identical physical envelope and back-facing connector layout for immediate mechanical drop-in
  • Slightly higher peak stall torque (5.5 kg-cm vs 5.0 kg-cm)
  • Same encoder resolution (12 CPR) and pin assignment
  • Uses precious metal brushes (HP) which wear out faster than carbon brushes (HPCB) in heavy-duty cycles.
  • Significantly lower stall current ceiling (1.6 A vs 5.0 A), meaning it stalls or shuts down earlier under extreme loads.

You searched one part. Parter watches your whole BOM.

  1. All your BOM, at once

    Parter maps every line to live stock, lead time, lifecycle and compliance data across the entire market — not part by part.

  2. Hear about problems before they hit production

    Allocation, EOL and last-time-buy notices surface the moment they appear, not when your buyer's PO bounces.

  3. Qualified replacements in minutes, not days

    Every at-risk line gets form-fit-function matches like the ones above — deltas flagged, evidence attached. Review, push to your BOM, and Parter starts watching the new part too.
