Notes
- Envelope only: the outside of the motor at its published sizes. The windings, magnets, brushes and bearings inside are not drawn.
- The body is a plain Ø8.5 × 20 mm cylinder; the Ø1.0 shaft stands 5 mm out of the front end.
- 8520 and 820 are the same size: 8.5 mm diameter, 20 mm long.
- The leads leave the back end; they and any bearing boss are not drawn (not listed). It is held by its body in a Ø8.5 clip or socket.
- Coreless motors have no iron in the rotor, so they turn without cogging; on small, low-power Stirling models they are used as generators or tachometer pickups.
