Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about the 370ZY / 555ZY / 38ZY
What does 370ZY mean?+
The '370' refers to the motor can diameter class (approximately 37mm), and 'ZY' indicates a permanent magnet DC motor in the Chinese motor classification system.
Can this motor run on 12V?+
Yes. Running at 12V provides performance between the 6V and 24V rated points. Speed and torque will be proportional to the applied voltage relative to rated values.
How do I control the speed?+
Simply vary the supply voltage or use a PWM speed controller. Speed is approximately proportional to applied voltage. For precision control, a PWM driver is recommended.
Is a gearbox version available?+
Yes. This motor can be paired with a compatible gearbox for reduced output speed and increased torque. Contact us with your speed and torque requirements for gearbox options.
What does 555ZY mean?+
The '555' refers to the motor can size class, and 'ZY' indicates a permanent magnet DC motor. The 555 class is larger than the 370 class, providing higher power output.
What output speeds are achievable with the 1:36–1:260 ratio range?+
At 24V with a no-load speed of approximately 6000 r/min, a 1:36 ratio gives approximately 167 r/min output and a 1:260 ratio gives approximately 23 r/min. Contact us with your exact speed requirement for the correct ratio selection.
