Is there a simple way to adjust speed on a Cytron SPG-50-60K DC motor powered with a 12V battery pack? I want to minimize size and avoid electronics if possible. Could it be as simple as just a resistor or potentiometer? I’d appreciate any advice.
Many thanks!

The rpm relates to the voltage. As you lower the voltage, the rpm will decrease.

However, that motor operates most efficiently at 12V, so if you try to operate it at 6V, the efficiency will drop a lot, which reduces the life span of the motor.
The best way is to use a DC motor controller or choose a lower RPM motor.
