Servo Motor Range
A servo motor is a type of motor that is specifically designed for precise control of angular or linear position, velocity, and acceleration. A servo motor is an electromechanical device that provides precise control over angular or linear position, velocity, and acceleration. Unlike standard motors that simply rotate when power is applied, a servo motor operates as part of a closed-loop control system. This means it constantly monitors its actual position or speed and compares it to a commanded value, making real-time adjustments to eliminate any error.
While off-the-shelf servo motors are available in a wide range of standard sizes and specifications, there are many industrial and specialized applications where a custom servo motor is not just an option, but a necessity. Customization allows engineers to precisely match the motor's characteristics to the unique demands of a machine, leading to optimized performance, efficiency, and often, a competitive advantage.
We can also offer DC servo motors (brushed DC servo motors and brushless DC servo motors) and AC servo motors. The standard mounting flange size: 60mm*60mm, 80mm*80mm, 110mm*110mm, 130mm*130mm. If you need to order the specific servo motor, feel free to ask too.

Precise Torque/Speed/Power Curve: Standard motors might offer too much or too little in certain ranges, leading to inefficiencies or performance compromises. A custom motor can be designed to deliver the exact torque and speed profile required for a specific motion profile, optimizing energy consumption and cycle times.
Optimized Acceleration/Deceleration: For highly dynamic applications with frequent start-stops or rapid changes in speed, a custom motor can be designed with appropriate inertia and winding characteristics for faster acceleration and deceleration without overheating or overshooting.
Specific Voltage/Current Requirements: When standard voltages (e.g., 24V, 48V, 230V, 400V) don't fit the available power supply or the system's power budget, a custom winding can be developed.
Compact Size/Unique Form Factor: In applications with extremely limited space (e.g., surgical robots, compact automation, drones), a custom motor can be designed with a specific diameter, length, or even a non-conventional shape to fit perfectly into the available envelope.
Integrated Components: Custom motors can integrate components like gearboxes, brakes, encoders, or even a portion of the drive electronics directly into the motor housing, simplifying assembly, reducing wiring, and saving space.
Hollow Shaft/Through-Hole Design: For applications requiring cables, optics, or other mechanical elements to pass through the motor's center, a custom hollow shaft can be designed.
Harsh Environments: Standard motors might not withstand extreme temperatures (very hot or very cold), high vibration, shock, vacuum, high pressure (e.g., subsea), or exposure to corrosive chemicals, washdown (e.g., food & beverage), or radiation. Customization allows for specialized materials, sealing (e.g., higher IP ratings like IP67, IP69K), and construction methods to ensure reliability in challenging conditions.
Quiet Operation/Low Vibration: For noise-sensitive environments (e.g., medical, laboratory), custom designs can optimize windings and mechanical tolerances to minimize acoustic noise and vibration.
Specific Cooling Requirements: If passive cooling isn't sufficient, custom motors can integrate liquid cooling, forced air cooling (fans/blowers), or other thermal management solutions to maintain performance in high-duty cycle applications.
Custom Shaft: Beyond diameter and length, options like specific keyways, splines, flats, custom threads, double-ended shafts, or gundrilling can be incorporated.
Unique Mounting: Non-standard bolt patterns, specialized end caps, foot mounting, or gimbal mounts can be designed to match existing machine structures.
Specific Connector/Cabling: Custom connectors, specific cable lengths, hard-wired feedback cables, or specialized cable types for harsh environments can be integrated.
While custom development has an initial cost, for high-volume applications, a precisely optimized custom motor can lead to significant long-term savings by:
Reducing energy consumption.
Increasing machine throughput.
Lowering component count (through integration).
Minimizing assembly time.
Reducing warranty claims and maintenance costs.
