The Motor and Switch Kit for Stromberg Carlson Landing Gear part # LG-217884 that you referenced is a motor, not a gear box. The output is tested in revolutions per minute (RPM) at the end of the shaft and for this motor that rating is 5,500 RPM. A gear box such as the Aluminum Gearbox for Stromberg Carlson Landing Gear part # LG-179015 will not have an RPM rating nor will the output of the motor be tested here. The gear box will instead have a reduction ratio which for this unit is 3:1. These components are both what is included with the Stromberg Carlson Manual Landing Gear Set part # LG-183708 if that is what you are asking.

If you need a landing gear motor with a higher RPM rating then we do have an option for you in the Lippert Components Tuson High Speed 5th Wheel RV Landing Gear Motor part # LC141893 which has a 7,140 RPM rating. This will be the highest RPM rating we offer in a landing gear motor.
