Technical Specifications
Technic™ Medium Angular Motor
Hardware name Technic™ Medium Angular Motor
Description The motor is designed to function in as both a motor and sensor. With the integrated advanced
Rotation Sensor, the motor can report both speed and position. The motor can also sense direct
user input measures if the output is rotated by hand.
Key features • Speed sensor (measures percentage of maximum design speed)
• Relative position in degrees
• Absolute position in degrees (-/+ 180 degrees)
• Crosshole output on one side, rotating disc with crosshole and building interface on the other side

All performance data is based on a 7.2V power supply.
Sensor input Rotation Sensor:
• Resolution: 360 counts per revolution
• Resolution is the number of counts the sensor makes for every full revolution (360 degrees)
on the output axle
• Accuracy: ≤+/- 3 degrees
• Accuracy is defined as the tolerances in the sensor combined with the gearbox slack
• Update rate: 100 Hz
• Update rate is defined as the frequency at which a new sensor reading, position, and
speed are available
The LEGO® Education SPIKE™ app may not support all hardware features and functionalities.
