ElectroCraft :: Application-Engineered Fractional-Horsepower Electric Motors, Drives & Motion Control Solutions

ElectroCraft, Inc. is a global provider of application-engineered fractional-horsepower electric motors, drives, and motion control solutions. With over 60 years of experience (roots dating back to the 1960s), the company specializes in customizable, high-performance motion products for OEMs across industrial, commercial, medical, mobility, and robotics applications. ElectroCraft emphasizes deep engineering resources, flexibility for custom designs, and reliable performance at competitive costs. The company operates multiple U.S. manufacturing facilities, including its world headquarters in Stratham, New Hampshire, with additional sites in Ohio and Indiana.

ElectroCraft does not manufacture complete robot systems but provides critical robot-based and motion control components that power robotic platforms, autonomous mobile robots (AMRs), AGVs, and automated machinery. Their products focus on precision, power density, and integration for demanding motion requirements.

Key robot-relevant products include:

• Brushless DC (BLDC) Motors: High-performance, compact motors ideal for robotic joints, propulsion, and precision applications requiring efficiency and low maintenance.
• Mobility Gearmotors: Customized gearmotors designed for mobile robotic platforms, offering high torque and reliability in motion systems.
• Wheel Drives (MPW Series): Flagship integrated wheel drive solutions, such as the award-winning MPW86, which combines a BLDC motor, heavy-duty gearbox, and wheel in one compact unit. It supports heavy payloads (up to 500 lb per wheel), speeds up to 4.3 m/s, and high starting torque (35 Nm peak). These are specifically marketed for medium-to-large payload mobile robots and AGVs, providing superior performance and reliability compared to traditional motor-gearbox-wheel combinations.
• Linear Actuators: Hybrid stepper linear actuators delivering precision and reliability for positioning in robotic systems.
• DC Motor Drives: Programmable and versatile drives (including the PRO Series) supporting brushless, PMDC, and stepper motors with advanced motion control capabilities.
• PMDC Motors and Stepper Motors: Reliable options for various robotic and automation needs.

ElectroCraft’s solutions are used in thousands of applications, from medical devices and industrial automation to innovative mobility and robotic products. The company stands out for its ability to deliver custom-engineered solutions rather than forcing customers to adapt to rigid off-the-shelf products.
