Brushless Motor Manufacturers
Brushless motors are a staple in many applications due to their reduced energy use, long life, low noise, and compact size. The key to their success lies in their complex manufacturing process.
The first step is stator manufacturing, a critical component that involves core fabrication, winding, and encapsulation. Precision winding machines ensure consistent coil placement and thermal stability.
Kollmorgen
Kollmorgen offers motion systems and components for original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) intended to enhance machine performance, increase productivity, reduce costs and improve safety. These products include servo motors, drives, linear actuators and automated guided vehicle (AGV) control solutions. They are available in a variety of sizes, speeds and torques to meet diverse applications and environments.
The Goldline series of servo motors is designed with low inertia, allowing for high acceleration rates. It also has a number of smart feedback options such as encoders and resolvers to provide a wide range of application flexibility. This series of motors is available in different mounting configurations and is offered in both BH (low inertia) and MH (high inertia) versions.
Servo and stepper motors are an integral part of many robotics applications, with the need to achieve precision motion in a compact form factor that is robust for demanding environments. For robot designers, these features help reduce total system cost, improve accuracy and throughput, and ensure maximum reliability.

KDE Direct
KDE Direct produces brushless motors, ESCs and propellers for UAV and drone applications. Its products are based on innovative designs and world-class customer support. The company offers products like direct-drive and shaft-drive motors, ESCs and UBEC brushless motor manufacturer electronics, carbon propellers, and KDECAN bus wires. It serves industries like aerospace, manufacturing, marine, robotics and medical.
The company’s ESCs feature a built-in thermal induced shutdown that activates at 95degC temperatures, keeping the coils safe from damage. They also have a high operating temperature tolerance and use thermally-conductive padding and vibration dampening to reduce noise. The ESCs are compatible with various flight platforms and provide live telemetry, back-up throttle control, and data logging capabilities.
All KDE Direct ESCs are opto-isolated to prevent interference between components in the system. They also include anti-spark technology that prevents a spark when the ESC’s leads contact batteries. This feature eliminates the potential fire hazard caused by current shoot through, which can damage the internal circuitry of an ESC.
The ESCs are designed to be compatible with a variety of UAV platforms, including multi-rotors and heavy lift systems. They are made of high-grade materials, including 0.2mm thick silicone steel stator laminations and powder coated windings. They are also dipped in epoxy and vacuum pulled to ensure electrical insulation and have Kevlar tie wraps. The ESCs have split-core silicon wire power leads and are soldered with 24K gold plated bullet connectors for plug and play connectivity.
Maxon
Maxon specializes in mechatronic drive systems for diverse applications. They offer DC brushed and brushless motors, gearheads, encoders, and controllers. They also offer custom drive systems that meet customer requirements. Their rhombic wound ironless rotor DC motors provide exceptional efficiency and power density, low noise and EMI emissions, fast acceleration, no preferred rotor position, linear speed and torque constant (accurate control), and long life.
The drive system of an intralogistics system must be particularly robust and efficient. The company combines its motors with zero-backlash gearheads, high-resolution encoders, and integrated holding brakes. These AGV Motor Series components provide outstanding performance and power density in the demanding logistics applications of today.
Medical technology
Doctors rely on electric power tools to perform many surgical interventions, from sawing bones to stapling tissue structures. Whether in the operating room or on the field, they need to be extremely reliable. For this, they use maxon motors and gearheads that are highly precise and durable. They also have a very high power density, and they can be autoclaved up to 1,000 times.
To make sure that the drives are safe for operation, maxon has developed a special program to verify that their chemical substances comply with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006/EU on Registration, Evaluation, Authorization, and Restriction of Chemicals. The company can then issue a REACH certificate for each of its products.
