Mini Motor Unit
Mini Motor Unit (Product Code: SLE/PHY/89) is a small base-mounted DC motor used to show electrical energy being turned into motion in school physics and energy lessons. It runs from 1.5 to 4.5 V DC on a base of about 88 x 70 mm and is intended for use with a solar cell unit, so pupils can watch light drive a motor. It is manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM manufacturer, at its own factory in Ambala, India.

What Is the Mini Motor Unit Used For?
Connected to a solar cell unit, the Mini Motor Unit makes an energy-transfer chain visible: light becomes electrical energy, which the motor turns into movement. Shading the cell or moving a lamp closer shows pupils at once how motor speed depends on the light reaching the cell, making this a simple solar energy science kit activity for the classroom.
Because it works from 1.5 to 4.5 V DC, the unit can also run from one to three dry cells when there is not enough light, which is useful for comparing a battery supply with a solar one. Do not connect it to anything above 4.5 V, and keep the motor shaft free of dust and loose threads.
What to Specify When Ordering
- Number of motor units needed per class.
- Whether a matching solar cell unit should be quoted as well.
- The supply you intend to use, keeping within 1.5 to 4.5 V DC.
OEM Manufacturer
Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited trades under the ScienceLab name and manufactures the Mini Motor Unit as the OEM at its factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana. Energy and electricity apparatus from that factory reaches schools, dealers and importers directly, with no middle trader in the chain. Ask the manufacturer about replacement units or repeat orders when class sets need topping up. Read about the company on the profile page.

Frequently Asked Questions
What voltage does the Mini Motor Unit run on?
The Mini Motor Unit operates from 1.5 to 4.5 V DC. That range suits the output of a school solar cell unit or a small number of dry cells; higher supply voltages should not be used with this motor.
How big is the base of the Mini Motor Unit?
The Mini Motor Unit is mounted on a base measuring approximately 88 x 70 mm. The compact base sits steadily on the bench beside a solar cell unit and holds the motor in a fixed position during experiments.
Can the Mini Motor Unit be used with a solar cell?
Yes. The Mini Motor Unit is intended for use with a solar cell unit, turning the cell's electrical output into visible rotation. If you need a matching solar cell, include it in your enquiry so ScienceLab can quote both together.
Will the Mini Motor Unit run from batteries?
Yes, as long as the supply stays within its range. The Mini Motor Unit runs on 1.5 to 4.5 V DC, so a battery supply inside that range can drive it, which is handy for lessons held without enough light.
Who manufactures the Mini Motor Unit?
The Mini Motor Unit is manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), the OEM, at its own factory in Ambala, Haryana, India. It is sold direct to schools, colleges, dealers and importers.
What should I include when asking for a Mini Motor Unit quotation?
A quotation request for the Mini Motor Unit should give the number of units, whether solar cells or battery holders are also needed, and your delivery location. Bulk orders for India and international markets are quoted on request through the contact page.
