Can you divulge your source
Can you divulge your source for pager motors? The smallest ones I've been able to find are 16mm long.
Oops! I thought you said
Oops! I thought you said 19 mm. Yeah, I haven't found anything under 16 mm either.
Anton, not sure if this
Anton, not sure if this helps, but it looks like this paper motor from Solarbotics is 16 mm long - Tiny Pager Motor. I can't tell if that's including the shaft length or not.
And speaking of really small motors, this tiny gear motor (21 mm long!) from Solarbotics is absolutely amazing.
I've got a couple of the gear
I've got a couple of the gear motors and plan to use them in my 1" bot, but would like to find something closer to 12mm total length so I can put the motors back to back in the cube and save room for sensors.
