GET EXACTLY WHAT YOU NEED

In motion control, no two designs are the same. When you’re optimizing for the best efficiency, accuracy, or speed, you don’t want a motor that is close enough, you want a motor that meets your requirements precisely. This is exactly what we can provide: a motor with the exact specifications you need for your specific design or application.

ON DEMAND ASSEMBLY

Our unique method of assembly allows us to stock a large selection of standard components that can be assembled in a multitude of ways for your specific needs. This allows us to assemble a motor that meets your exact specifications, with minimal lead time, and at a great price point.

MEET REQUIREMENTS

We manufacture and keep data with accordance to ISO9001:2015, AS9100D and many other standards. For this reason,
our motors can be found in numerous FDA and FAA-approved applications.

FAST PROTOTYPE TURNAROUND

Our Northern California manufacturing facility doubles as our prototyping facility. This gives us a much higher flexibility to try out different components and windings to ensure the motor will perform at its best. This also ensures that prototypes operate the same as the volume parts. Plus, we test each motor in real time.

SCALABLE MANUFACTURING VOLUMES

We grow with your needs. The benefit of multiple manufacturing facilities—within the United States and in Asia—allows us to maintain whatever volume you need, as well as handle spikes with minimal concern. Our Northern California facility is optimized for low to mid volume production, while our off-shore facilities are optimized for high volume production, which allows us to scale with your manufacturing requirements. As the demand for your product in the marketplace multiplies, our ability to provide what you need increases as well. Furthermore, we guarantee the identical quality assurance.

CONFIGURED SOLUTIONS


  • Standard / off-the-shelf motors are easily accessible via the web store
