The universal Motor Focus Kit v2 is a motor-and-bracket assembly for converting a compatible telescope focuser to electronic drive. It requires a separate controller, such as the Pegasus Dual Motor Focus Controller, Ultimate Powerbox or eXternal Motor Controller.
The four-phase unipolar motor operates at 12 V DC and 0.27 A. Its 1:120 gearbox provides 5755 full steps per output revolution, corresponding to approximately 0.06255 degrees per step. Pegasus estimates about 30 half steps of gearbox backlash, which compatible focusing software can compensate.
The black-anodised aluminium L bracket includes wide and narrow lower sections for different focusers. Five couplers cover shaft bores from 4 to 8 mm. The manufacturer lists a combined motor, bracket and coupler weight of 350 g and supplies mounting screws, washers and a 1 m RJ45 cable.

This is the universal geared unipolar v2 motor kit, not a FocusCube with integrated electronics and not the Zero bipolar SCT motor. The 5755-step actual count is retained instead of treating the nominal 7.5°/120 gearing as an exact calibrated step count.
