Brushed PMDC Motors

Permanent Magnet DC (PMDC) Traction Motors are high-quality electric motors used in electric vehicles or other industrial / consumer applications to provide propulsion. These motors use permanent magnets to create a magnetic field, which interacts with the electrical current supplied to the motor, creating rotational motion.

Motion Control Products offer two families of PMDC traction motors: high end Siboni RAW Planet range and economical range of ZYT series, which have numerous benefits over other types of electric motors. 

  • High efficiency, high starting torque
  • Traction 200-1300 Watts
  • Torque from 1Nm - 6 Nm
  • Permanent sintered ferrite magnet stator
  • High inertia ratio particularly suitable for electric vehicles
  • Standard protection grade IP44, insulation class F (in accordance with IEC standards)
  • Frame size: 30mm to 110mm from light to heavy duty versions
  • From 1 to 1500 Watts
  • Input voltage: 12VDC, 24VDC or 48VDC
  • High peak torque capability
  • Matched with MCP4 or MCP2 worm/wheel gearboxes
  • Typical pplications: clay pigeon traps, caravan movers, stair lifts and more

Features / Benefits

  • High peak torque capability
  • Fast starting/acceleration
  • High power/volume
  • High efficiency


First and foremost, they are highly efficient, with high torque and starting torque, providing excellent performance for electric vehicles. Additionally, they offer excellent torque linearity, meaning that the torque output is directly proportional to the amount of electrical power supplied, resulting in smooth acceleration and deceleration. Another benefit of PMDC traction motors is their compact size and low weight, making them ideal for use in electric vehicles where space and weight are crucial factors. 

Typical Applications

Funfair (carousels, bumper cars), Gym (treadmill), Motorcycles (motors and electric bikes); Assisting the movement of the physically challenged (electric wheelchairs); Automation (automatic doors and gates) and Railways (level crossings, railroad switches).

PMDC traction motors are also commonly used in clay pigeon traps, providing precise and reliable operation for this sport. Caravan movers also benefit from the high torque and smooth operation of PMDC traction motors, making it easy to move caravans and trailers. Additionally, PMDC traction motors are often used in stair lifts, providing reliable and efficient mobility for the elderly and disabled. With their compact size (30mm - 110mm), long lifespan, and low maintenance requirements, PMDC traction motors are a popular choice for a wide range of applications, including those in the sports, recreational, and mobility industries.
