DC gear motors that crank out high levels of torque at low speeds
Gear motors are somewhat self-explanatory, featuring a gear and motor combined into a single unit. Gearmotors provide several advantages such as cost-effectiveness, design simplification, product integration, high torque at low speed and long life. Nidec Motor Corporation manufactures first-class DC gear motors under several reputable brands. Our engineering teams excel at creating custom-made DC gearmotors that match specific customer specifications and provide superior quality.
Our HURST® brand started crafting durable precision motors over 65 years ago, when a family-owned tool shop first opened for business in Princeton, Indiana. Over the past decades, it has further cemented its reputation for innovating rapid solutions across a variety of industries and applications. Now part of the global Nidec Motor Corporation, HURST brand DC gear motors continue the tradition of providing both cost-effectiveness and reliability.
You can depend on our LEROY-SOMER™ brand to deliver excellence and innovation in its DC gearmotors.
