A Vibrating DC Motor, also known as a vibration motor or eccentric rotating mass (ERM) motor, is a type of miniature electric motor designed to create vibrations when powered. These motors are commonly used in various electronic devices, particularly for providing haptic feedback, alerts, and notifications. They are compact, energy-efficient, and offer precise control over vibration intensity and duration. Vibrating DC motors are versatile components used to create tactile feedback in electronic devices. They simulate sensations like vibrations or pulses, enhancing the user experience in applications ranging from smartphones and gaming controllers to wearable technology and industrial equipment. When integrating a vibrating DC motor into your project, refer to the motor’s datasheet or product documentation to understand its specifications, operating voltage, and control options for customized haptic feedback.

Specifications:

• Operating Principle: ERM motors typically operate on the principle of an unbalanced mass attached to the motor shaft. When the motor spins, the unbalanced mass causes the motor to vibrate.
• Size: Vibrating DC motors come in various sizes, including micro-sized versions suitable for small electronic devices.
• Voltage Range: Operating voltage can vary but is often in the range of 1.5V to 5V.
• Vibration Intensity: The amplitude and intensity of vibrations can vary among different models.
• Control: Some vibrating DC motors offer adjustable vibration levels or can be controlled via pulse-width modulation (PWM) to vary the vibration intensity.
• Response Time: These motors typically have a quick response time, allowing for rapid vibration activation and deactivation.
• Mounting: Designed for easy integration into electronic devices, often with mounting holes or adhesive backing.
• Application: Widely used in mobile phones, pagers, wearable devices, gaming controllers, and other gadgets to provide haptic feedback, alerts, and notifications.
• Power Consumption: Generally low power consumption, making them suitable for battery-powered devices.
• Connector Type: Depending on the model, vibrating DC motors may have solderable leads, wire connectors, or connectors compatible with specific devices.
