explanation of **ZYT motors** (a type of permanent magnet DC motor)
2022-08-26

**ZYT Motor Overview** 

**ZYT motor** refers to a series of **permanent magnet DC motors** widely used in low-power applications. The name "ZYT" is a Chinese model designation, where: 

- **Z** (直流/直) = Direct Current (DC) 

- **Y** (永磁) = Permanent Magnet 

- **T** (电动机) = Electric Motor 


These motors are compact, efficient, and ideal for small-scale devices requiring precise speed control.

 **Key Components** 

1. **Stator** (定子): 

- Made of **permanent magnets** (e.g., neodymium or ferrite) to create a fixed magnetic field. 

2. **Rotor** (转子): 

- Core with laminated steel and copper windings. 

- Commutator and brushes transfer current to the rotor. 

3. **Brushes & Commutator** (电刷和换向器): 

- Ensure continuous rotation by reversing current direction in the rotor windings.

 **Working Principle** 

1. When DC power is applied, current flows through the rotor windings. 

2. The interaction between the stator’s magnetic field and the rotor’s current generates **Lorentz force**, causing rotation. 

3. The commutator switches the current direction in the rotor coils to maintain continuous motion.
