The Vibration Motor creates haptic feedback through an eccentric rotating mass (ERM). Driven by DC voltage, it produces vibrations for notification systems, tactile feedback devices, and DIY massagers.
Key features
- Eccentric mass design produces strong vibrations
- Small and lightweight for portable devices
- Low voltage operation (typically 2-5V)
- Simple 2-wire connection
- Fast startup response time
- Reliable brushed motor construction
- Low cost for mass production
Good to know
- Secure motor firmly – vibration will loosen mounting over time
- PWM can control vibration intensity (not just on/off)
- Startup voltage may be higher than running voltage
- Do not exceed rated voltage – will overheat and burn out
- Some vibration may be audible as buzzing sound
