To reduce the RPM of a 12V, 0.66A D.C. motor from 60 to 30, it's essential to first determine if the motor can handle voltage control. If the motor supports this, varying the voltage can effectively lower the RPM. Alternatively, using gears can also achieve the desired speed reduction while maintaining torque. Implementing Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) on the 12V supply is another effective method to control speed without sacrificing torque. Exploring options like PWM controllers available on eBay can provide practical solutions for this adjustment.

I have a 12V, 066A D.C motor, and 60 RPM. Want to reduce the RPM (60 to 30.
What should I need to do?
 
Engineering news on Phys.org
The electric motor may, or may not, allow you to control the speed by controlling the volts supplied. Some motors allow this, some do not. You will have to investigate the nature of your electric motor to determine this. Then if the motor does allow this, can you supply different voltages?

If not, then could you use gears?
 
If he still wants good torque at half-speed, he would need to use PWM on his 12V supply, no?

yup, that or gearing will be the 2 successful ways

here's some good examples from eBay ...

I grabbed an under cabinet LED light today at a big box store. Nothing special. 18 inches in length and made to plug several lights together. Here is a pic of the power cord: The drawing on the box led me to believe that it would accept a standard IEC cord which surprised me. But it's a variation of it. I didn't try it, but I would assume you could plug a standard IEC cord into this and have a double male cord AKA suicide cord. And to boot, it's likely going to reverse the hot and...
