Six Proven Platforms, Configured for Your Application
Start from a qualified Telco platform and modify only what your machine requires — winding, gearing, shaft, connector, feedback or controls. It is the fastest, lowest-risk route from specification to production release.
Stepper Motors
Repeatable open-loop positioning for dispensing, indexing and scanning stages where accuracy is non-negotiable.
- NEMA 8 to NEMA 34 frames
- 1.8° / 0.9° hybrid step angles
- Lead-screw & linear variants
Brushed DC Motors
Cost-optimized torque density for intermittent duty cycles, simple drive electronics and price-sensitive builds.
- PMDC and coreless constructions
- Low-EMI brush and filter options
- Direct gearbox integration
AC Motors
Single- and three-phase induction motors for fans, blowers, pumps and fixed-speed industrial machinery.
- Shaded-pole & PSC designs
- Thermal protection options
- 50/60 Hz global voltages
Gear Motors
Planetary, spur and worm gearheads matched to the motor so torque, backlash and service life stay predictable.
- Ratios from 3:1 to 1000:1
- Metal or engineered-polymer gearing
- Right-angle & inline configurations
Custom Motor Design
When nothing off-the-shelf fits, our engineers develop the winding, stack, gearing and interface around your machine.
- Electromagnetic & thermal modeling
- Prototype, validate, then release
- Dedicated program management
Engineering Reference
How to Choose the Right Motor Technology
Use this comparison as a first-pass filter, then send us your duty cycle and load profile — the right answer almost always depends on how long the motor must hold torque, not on peak torque alone.
| Technology | Best Suited For | Control Method | Relative Efficiency | Maintenance |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Brushless DC | Continuous duty, portable and battery-driven equipment, variable speed | Electronic commutation, closed loop | Highest | Bearing life limited, no brushes |
| Stepper (Hybrid) | Indexing, dispensing, scanning, XY stages | Open-loop micro-stepping driver | Moderate | Very low |
| Brushed DC | Intermittent duty, simple drives, cost-sensitive volumes | Voltage / PWM | Moderate | Brush wear defines life |
| AC Induction | Fans, blowers, pumps, fixed-speed machinery | Direct line or VFD | Good at rated load | Low |
| Gear Motor | High torque at low speed, compact envelopes | Depends on prime mover | Motor efficiency × gear efficiency | Lubrication dependent |
Values are directional guidance for early design reviews. Final selection should be confirmed against measured load, ambient temperature and required service life.

Buyer & Engineer FAQ
Answers Sourcing Teams Ask Before the First Sample
Share your continuous and peak torque, target speed, supply voltage, duty cycle, envelope restrictions, shaft and mounting interface, feedback or control requirements, environmental conditions and expected annual volume. With those nine inputs our engineers can return a technical concept and indicative pricing, usually within two to three business days.
A modified standard platform can reach functional samples in roughly 4 to 8 weeks. A ground-up design with new laminations, windings or gearbox tooling typically runs 12 to 20 weeks through design review, prototype, validation testing and first-article approval before volume release.
Brushless DC and coreless DC motors deliver the highest efficiency per watt and the longest service life without brush maintenance, which makes them the preferred choice for portable, battery-powered and continuous-duty equipment. Brushed DC remains cost-effective for intermittent duty, while hybrid steppers are best where open-loop positioning accuracy matters.
Yes. We support prototype and pilot builds so your design can be validated before tooling commitments, then scale the same qualified configuration into recurring production with documented change control.
Programs for medical and laboratory OEMs can include drawing-controlled specifications, material declarations, test data, first-article inspection reports and change-notification agreements so your device documentation and audits stay complete.
