life science
For over 30 years, Lin Engineering has been supporting the Life Science Industry by designing and manufacturing a wide variety of motion control products: hybrid step motors, PM steppers, linear actuators, BLDC motors, Servo motors, Frameless BLDC motors, and Slotless BLDC motors. Beyond that, we are able to provide a large array of value add / sub-assembly components such as encoders, gearboxes, wire harnesses, and much more. Our products and solutions can be found in a variety of life science applications such as automated lab equipment, liquid handling machines, centrifuges, and many more.
Working with Lin Engineering means you are partnering with a company whose outreach includes a global supply chain network that is capable of supporting small prototype runs in the USA to millions of motors in volume production.
Everything starts with our facility in Morgan Hill, California which is conveniently located in the heart of Silicon Valley. Not only do we have a full Engineering staff, but there is also a local Quality team, Applications, Sales, Customer Service, and so much more. The crown jewel of it all? A California-based manufacturing facility that proudly makes motors in the USA. For added support, we have a nationwide team of Applications Engineers and Account Managers that can provide you with the benefits of localized support.

Why Lin?
When it comes to medical applications it's important that the motors you choose are reliable and will last as long as your machines. This is where Lin Engineering excels as their motors are tried and trusted by medical experts worldwide. We currently support many FDA approved devices that are used every day. Lin Engineering has been helping engineers create new advancements in medical equipment for over 30 years. These devices include surgical robots, critical-care devices such as ventilators, as well as laboratory equipment that is required to test and diagnose.
OEM Motors Optimized For Your Application
Quick Prototype Turnaround
Small Batch to Large Volume Production
US Based Support and Manufacturing
COVID-19 Priority
With the recent COVID-19 outbreak, the demand for medical equipment has been quickly increasing. A lot of these devices depend on their precise motors to operate. In order to support the ongoing efforts to combat COVID-19, we are prioritizing the production and supply of our motors to support companies producing medical devices critical to the treatment of COVID-19 patients. Especially those producing medical ventilators and equipment needed for respiratory care.
Rapid Prototyping
For custom prototypes, our Northern California manufacturing facility doubles as our prototyping facility, which means our engineers work within the premises of the manufacturing facility. They have access to the same tools that will be used to produce your motor in volume. This allows us to provide accurate prototypes quickly as the engineers can be hands-on with every step.
Engineering Support
For OEM Motor Projects, we’ll work directly with your engineering team throughout the design phase of your project to ensure the best overall system optimization and motor fit while avoiding over-engineering and other potential issues.
Quick Production Ramp-ups
Our multiple manufacturing facilities—within the United States and in Asia—allows us to start manufacturing motors fast and ramp-up volume production. Our Northern California facility is optimized for low to mid-volume production, while our off-shore facilities are optimized for high volume production, allowing us to rapidly scale with your manufacturing requirements.
Motors Capable of Withstanding Extreme Enviroments
Vacuum Rated Motors
IP Rated Motors
Hot & Cold Motors
These motors are designed and manufactured to operate in unique environments for specific applications. Vacuum-rated motors, for example, are necessary for environments where out-gassing needs to be minimized such as vacuum chambers, space applications, and clean room environments. IP (Ingress Protection) rated motors are perfect for applications exposed to humidity, water, oil, and other various debris. We also carry motors that are specifically designed to operate in extreme hot and cold temperatures.
- Vacuum and Ultra High Vacuum Grade Motors
- Ingress Protection (IP) Rated Motors
- Hot/Cold Temperature Operating Motors
