Oriental Motor U.S.A. Corp. :: Precision Electric Motors, Actuators, Drivers & Related Automation Components

Oriental Motor U.S.A. Corp. (orientalmotor.com) is the North American subsidiary of Oriental Motor Co., Ltd., a Japanese manufacturer founded in 1885 with over 140 years of expertise in motion control. The company specializes in precision electric motors, actuators, drivers, and related automation components. It offers one of the broadest product lines in the industry—nearly 50,000 configurations—emphasizing high quality, reliability, quick delivery, and strong technical support. Oriental Motor serves diverse industries including semiconductor, medical, food & beverage, packaging, factory automation, and robotics.

While primarily known for motors and actuators, Oriental Motor has expanded into industrial robots as part of its motion control ecosystem. Their products power positioning, speed control, and complex multi-axis movements essential for robotic systems.

Key robot-based and robotics-related products include:

• OVR Series Robots: This lineup features SCARA robots, Cartesian (gantry) robots, and articulated 4-axis, 5-axis, and 6-axis horizontal transport robots. These are designed for cost-effective, easy-to-control automation in small-part handling, assembly, pick-and-place, and light material transport applications. They feature simple mechanisms, integrated controllers, and compatibility with Oriental Motor’s motion products.
• αSTEP Hybrid Step-Servo Motors (AZ Series): Closed-loop stepper motors widely used in robotics for precise positioning, high torque, and energy efficiency. They include built-in controllers and network connectivity (EtherCAT, etc.).
• Linear and Rotary Actuators: Compact, high-precision actuators ideal for robotic joints, end-effectors, and linear motion stages.
• Servo Motors, Brushless DC Motors, and Stepper Motors: Core components for robot drives, offering excellent speed/torque control and integration with robotic controllers.
• Drivers and Network Products: Multi-axis drivers (including EtherCAT-compatible) and controllers that enable synchronized motion for robotic systems.

Oriental Motor supports modular automation concepts and provides strong engineering resources, including motor sizing tools, application guides, seminars, and 24/7 technical support. Their solutions help manufacturers achieve reliable, flexible automation with fast integration and global availability.
