SPIDER Automation | MY1016ZL 24V Geared Brushed DC Motor | 120RPM Output, 350W Listed Power & 17mm D-Shaft
The SPIDER Automation MY1016ZL 24V Brushed DC Motor is a geared electric drive motor intended for compatible electric bicycles, scooters, wheelchairs and other compact electric mobility systems. It operates on a rated supply of 24V DC and uses brushed motor technology. Its listed output speed is 120RPM, making it suitable for applications requiring a low-speed geared motor arrangement.
The motor has a 17mm diameter D-type output shaft with a listed shaft length of 44mm. The supplier specification lists 350W operating power, class E insulation and IP33 protection. The motor is also described as supporting clockwise and counterclockwise rotation by reversing its power connections. Mechanical fitment and controller compatibility should be assessed against the actual installation requirements.
Product Overview & Geared Motor Design
The MY1016ZL is identified as a brushed DC geared motor for electric drive applications. A geared motor combines an electric motor with a mechanical reduction arrangement to provide a lower rotational output speed suited to the connected load. Its listed rated speed of 120RPM makes it distinct from high-speed motors that require a separate external reduction stage.
This model is specified for 24V DC operation and features a D-type output shaft. The shaft dimensions provide important reference points when selecting the mating sprocket, coupling or drivetrain component. The final mechanical fit must be confirmed against the shaft profile, mounting arrangement and load requirements.
Technical Features & Functional Characteristics
- MY1016ZL Model: Identifies the motor model for compatible replacement and equipment integration.
- Brushed DC Motor Technology: Uses brushed commutation and requires a suitable brushed DC motor controller.
- 24V DC Rated Voltage: Designed for operation in compatible 24V electrical systems.
- 350W Listed Operating Power: Provides the supplier-listed power figure for system selection, subject to confirmation of its rating basis.
- 120RPM Rated Speed: Specifies the listed rotational speed of the geared output.
- 17mm D-Type Output Shaft: Provides a shaft interface with a flat-sided profile for suitable mating components.
- 44mm Shaft Length: Defines the listed shaft length for installation and coupling assessment.
- Reversible Rotation: The motor can rotate in either direction by reversing its supply connections, subject to the controller and system wiring arrangement.
- Class E Insulation: The winding insulation is identified as class E.
- IP33 Protection: The listed protection grade provides limited protection against solid objects and angled water spray under standard test conditions.
Geared Output & Shaft Configuration
The motor’s listed output speed is 120RPM. This low-speed output is intended for drive arrangements where the motor’s geared rotation is connected to the load through a suitable mechanical interface. The required wheel speed, vehicle speed and available output torque depend on the complete drivetrain, load and operating conditions.
The output shaft is specified as a 17mm D-type shaft with a 44mm length. The flat-sided profile provides a mechanical reference for compatible mating components. Before installation, confirm the shaft’s flat depth, usable engagement length, retention arrangement and the dimensions of the selected sprocket or coupling.
Electrical Configuration & Direction Control
This model is specified for 24V DC operation and uses brushed motor technology. It must be paired with a brushed DC controller compatible with the motor’s voltage, power and operating requirements. A brushless motor controller is not an interchangeable substitute.
The motor description states that rotation direction can be changed by reversing the motor’s power connections. This allows clockwise or counterclockwise operation where the controller and application support polarity reversal. Disconnect the power supply before changing connections, and confirm the required rotation direction before connecting the motor to the drivetrain.
Insulation & Enclosure Protection
The specification identifies class E insulation and an IP33 protection rating. Class E is an insulation classification for the motor winding system. IP33 indicates protection against access to hazardous parts and ingress of solid foreign objects 2.5mm or larger, together with protection against water spray falling at angles up to 60° from vertical.
IP33 should not be interpreted as waterproof or suitable for immersion, pressure washing or unrestricted outdoor exposure. The motor should be installed in an environment consistent with its protection rating and the requirements of the complete electrical system.

Connection & Operating Recommendations
Before installation, confirm that the motor’s voltage, controller type, shaft dimensions and mounting arrangement match the intended equipment. The IP33 rating provides limited ingress protection and should be considered when choosing the motor’s operating environment.
- Use a Brushed DC Controller: Select a controller designed for brushed DC motors and compatible with the motor’s 24V supply and power requirements.
- Match the 24V Supply: Use a suitable 24V battery and controller arrangement. Confirm the complete system’s voltage limits before connection.
- Verify Shaft Fitment: Check the 17mm D-shaft diameter, 44mm length and flat profile against the mating sprocket, coupling or transmission component.
- Confirm Mounting Compatibility: Ensure that the motor’s mounting points and available clearance suit the equipment before fixing it in place.
- Set the Required Rotation: Confirm the desired direction of rotation and follow the controller and motor wiring instructions before changing polarity.
- Disconnect Before Rewiring: Isolate the battery supply before reversing motor connections or carrying out electrical maintenance.
- Consider IP33 Limitations: Avoid immersion, pressure washing and exposure beyond the protection level indicated by the IP33 rating.
- Check Drivetrain Alignment: Ensure that the connected mechanical components are aligned and securely retained before operation.
- Conduct a Controlled Test: Verify motor direction, controller response and mechanical clearance at low speed before normal use.
