Products & Services
Gearmotors consist of an AC or DC motor with an integral gearbox or gear head that steps delivered speed up or down. Search by Specification | Learn more about Gearmotors
AC motors include single, multiphase, universal, induction, synchronous, and gear motors. They also include servomotors.   Search by Specification | Learn more about AC Motors
DC motors are most commonly used in variable speed and torque applications. They include brushless and gear motors, as well as servomotors. Search by Specification | Learn more about DC Motors
Stepper motors use a magnetic field to move a rotor in small angular steps or fractions of steps. They provide precise positioning and ease of use, especially in low acceleration or static load applications. Search by Specification | Learn more about Stepper Motors
DC servomotors are generally small and powerful for their size, and easy to control. Common types of DC servomotors include brushless or gear motors. Search by Specification | Learn more about DC Servomotors
