Custom DC Motors

At Orange1 America, we design and build custom DC motors, brushed, brushless, and specialized configurations, that are made to perform in tough environments. From extreme temperatures (–40°C to +80°C) and high vibration, to moisture, dust, and fluctuating power conditions, our motors are engineered to keep working reliably where others might fail.

We offer features such as rugged aluminum or stainless-steel housings, sealed bearings, and high IP ratings (IP65 to IP69K) to protect against contaminants and washdowns. Corrosion-resistant coatings, Class F or H insulation, built-in thermal sensors, and low-EMI designs all contribute to long service life and consistent performance across industries like automation, aerospace, medical devices, and robotics.

Technical Specifications

  • Voltage: 6V to 90V DC.
  • Speed: Up to 10,000 RPM (no-load); 1,000–5,000 RPM under load.
  • Torque: Typically 50 to 500 oz-in or more depending on application.
  • Current Draw: Varies by load (stall and no-load conditions are evaluated during sizing).
  • Options: Oversized shafts, gearboxes (5:1 to 100:1), IP65/IP67 enclosures, thermal protection, EMI suppression, NEMA or custom mounting.
  • Motor Types: Brushed (BDC), Brushless (BLDC), Coreless, Servo, Stepper.
  • Efficiency: Up to 90%, depending on design and application.

Industrial Applications

Our DC electric motors are made with flexibility in mind, supporting a wide range of industrial systems and equipment, such as:

  • Material Handling: Reliable power for conveyors and automated storage systems.
  • Automated Assembly Lines: Smooth, precision control that helps increase throughput.
  • Pumps & Compressors: Dependable performance in HVAC, water treatment, and chemical processing.
  • Process Automation: Precise speed and torque control for industries like pharmaceuticals and food processing.
  • Industrial Robotics: High power density and responsiveness for complex robotic movements.
  • Battery-Powered Systems: Energy-efficient solutions for solar, mobile, and off-grid applications.

ATEX & IECEx Configurations

Some projects require motors that meet strict safety standards for hazardous environments. Orange1 America can configure motors to comply with ATEX and IECEx requirements on a project-by-project basis.

Applications include:

  • Oil & Gas: From pump drives to valve actuators, our motors can be configured for use in gas-rich environments where reliability is critical. They help keep essential processes moving while addressing the safety considerations unique to offshore rigs, refineries, and distribution facilities.
  • Chemical Processing: Facilities handling solvents, flammable liquids, or volatile gases rely on motors that can operate safely around combustible substances. Configurable options for mixers, conveyors, and exhaust systems make it possible to maintain consistent production while reducing risk.
  • Mining: Underground or surface mining operations present challenges like dust, vibration, and high loads. Motors configured for crushers, ventilation fans, and drilling equipment provide the ruggedness needed to keep equipment running while supporting worker safety in demanding conditions.
  • Agriculture & Grain Handling: Dust from grain, feed, and crop processing can create combustible atmospheres. Motors for augers, conveyors, and extraction systems help guarantee safe and efficient material handling in mills, silos, and processing plants.
  • Paint & Coatings: Solvent-rich environments such as paint booths and coating lines require motors that can operate without introducing ignition risks. Whether driving mixers, sprayers, or ventilation systems, our solutions are engineered with the safety features these settings demand.


Motors can be configured with flameproof enclosures, thermal protection, and other safety-focused features.

Why Choose Custom DC Motors?

Off-the-shelf motors often don’t meet the unique requirements of demanding applications. Custom DC motors provide:

  • A precise fit for your system.
  • Energy-efficient performance.
  • Compact, lightweight design.
  • Consistent output across varying conditions.
  • Long-lasting durability, even in harsh environments.
