XD-3420 High Torque DC Motor 12V/24V CW/CCW with Mount | 30W DIY Generator

The XD-3420 is a compact, permanent-magnet DC motor that runs on either 12V or 24V, making it a versatile choice for a wide range of DIY builds. It delivers high speed and solid torque while maintaining low noise, ideal for small machines or home-built generators. The output shaft is 8 mm in diameter with a 38 mm length, enabling flexible mounting, and the motor supports bidirectional rotation (CW/CCW) when paired with an external control. An external DC controller is required to enable speed regulation and to manage rotation direction through appropriate wiring or switching.

Performance and build quality come together in a compact package. The motor offers 30 W of rated power, draws about 0.5 A, and provides idle speeds of 3,500 rpm at 12V or 7,000 rpm at 24V. Torque values are 1 kgf.cm at 12V and 2 kgf.cm at 24V, giving you capable acceleration under load. The stator windings use pure copper, which helps reduce heat and losses for more reliable operation. The kit includes a motor mount and 2 spacers for quick, straightforward installation in a variety of environments, whether a lab bench, hobby workshop, or compact generator project.
