Design, manufacturing and testing of custom linear and rotary motors in markets with strict requirements on performance, accuracy and cleanliness such as semicon, analytical, medical and aerospace.
In demanding applications, custom motors are required due to the need for high performance, high accuracy, thermal requirements, specific form factors or optimized weight. Frencken can design and manufacture these custom motors. We have the engineering knowledge in-house to design or co-develop custom motors and to develop the custom tooling required to manufacture and test these motors. Moreover, we have the required equipment and machinery for custom motor manufacturing.
Understanding both the design and manufacturing sides enables us to find the most optimal motor solution for our customers in terms of motor performance, quality and manufacturing costs. The level of Frencken’s involvement in the development process can be tailored to customer needs.
