Part Types
AC Motors
AC motors run on alternating current and are the workhorses of industry. Available in induction and synchronous types.
Brake Motors
Motors with integrated braking
DC Motors
DC motors provide precise speed control and high starting torque. Used where variable speed is required.
Explosion Proof Motors
Hazardous area rated motors
Gear Motors
Integrated motor and gearbox units
Linear Motors
Direct linear motion without conversion
Servo Motors
Servo motors provide precise position, velocity, and torque control. Essential for automation and robotics.
Soft Starters
Reduced voltage motor starting
Stepper Motors
Discrete position incremental motion
Variable Frequency Drives
VFDs control AC motor speed by varying frequency and voltage. Provide energy savings and soft starting.
