Custom motor development · Stator & rotor prototypes
Start with a torque-speed target, an installation envelope or an existing motor specification. Work with Magatom to define the motor design, stator-rotor prototype and validation plan, then prepare the accepted revision for pilot production.

Three ways to start
A standard motor may fit the space but miss the operating cycle. Bring the load duty and fixed interfaces so the design review starts from your machine, including the space for feedback and cooling.
Discuss a Custom Motor →Develop active motor parts for an embedded assembly. Define the stator and rotor envelope together with support, retention, air gap, heat transfer and electrical connections.
Discuss a Stator-Rotor Set →Use your current motor specification as a comparison baseline. Identify what must stay compatible, what can change and which application tests will decide whether a candidate is acceptable.
Review a Motor Alternative →Motor development brief
Send what you know. A sketch, operating cycle and open questions are enough to begin a review; topology, winding and feedback choices can remain development decisions.
Stator and rotor integration
A housed motor brings its support structure with it. A matched active-part set provides the wound stator and permanent-magnet rotor for integration into your machine. Define the housing, load support, sensing and drive alongside those parts to establish the complete axis scope.
Motor development interface map: active parts, machine support, heat path, feedback and acceptance.
Original Magatom concept diagram.
Define the structure that supports the stator and rotor, the load path, locating datums and assembly access.
Agree the retention method, fits, concentricity and clearance checks across assembly, temperature and operating loads.
Define heat transfer into the machine, winding-temperature observation and the conditions used for analysis and testing.
Agree sensing location, commutation reference, winding/drive compatibility, cable routing and the work included in the assembly scope.
Motor alternative development
Send the current motor model, datasheet or available drawing, the operating cycle, control hardware and reason for considering a change. Mark each interface fixed, changeable or still open. Matching rated power or a flange is only part of establishing interchangeability.
Move from a design candidate to a tested prototype, then to an application acceptance decision. Keep each stage linked to its revision, interfaces and test conditions.
Evaluate an Existing Motor Alternative →Design to pilot production
Output to agree
A requirement brief, fixed interfaces, open decisions and acceptance objectives.
Next decision
Agree the operating cycle and which design questions the project must resolve.
Output to agree
A candidate direction, drawing/interface decisions and agreed calculation or simulation assumptions and outputs.
Next decision
Select the candidate and prototype questions; keep predictions distinct from measured results.
Output to agree
A build route with process, retention, assembly, inspection-access and tooling decisions.
Next decision
Agree the prototype configuration, performing parties, cost items and required records.
Output to agree
Revision-identified samples, test conditions, results, deviations and the next iteration decision.
Next decision
Compare the measured candidate with the acceptance targets before releasing the next revision.
Output to agree
An accepted design revision, inspection/test plan, tooling/process documents and production-ramp proposal.
Next decision
Agree pilot quantity, quality records, change control and production arrangements.
Prototype setup; sample details obscured.
Owner-provided prototype setup photograph; sample pixelation retained.
Agree which calculations or simulations answer the design questions, who performs them and the assumptions to record. Use prototype measurements under the agreed duty, drive and cooling conditions to review the selected revision.
Before pilot release, bring the accepted drawing and bill of materials together with the process/tooling documents, inspection and test plan, sample records and change authority.
Define the development, tooling, sample and test scope separately from the production quotation. Share target quantities and dates so the estimate reflects the actual work and dependencies.
Share the duty, available space, supply and drive, interfaces and project stage. Include a drawing or current motor specification where available. Identify unknowns so the first review can focus on the decisions that affect the design.
Yes. Start with the active-part envelope and define how your machine supports the rotor, retains the parts, controls the air gap and removes heat. Agree the sensing and electrical interfaces and the assembly work to include in the development scope.
Bring the reference data and explain what must stay the same. Compare the mechanical, electrical, thermal and operating requirements, then agree the prototype tests that will establish suitability for your application. A model number or datasheet is enough to start identifying the missing information.
Include the requested change and its purpose in the brief. The review connects winding and supply requirements with the torque-speed duty, and mechanical changes with the mounting and load path before the prototype scope is agreed.
Define the questions, assumptions and expected outputs first. Keep predicted values separate from measured results, and use the prototype test plan to assess the selected revision under the agreed conditions.
The estimate follows the design, tooling, prototype and test scope. Share target dates and quantities so the plan can identify engineering work, dependencies and the proposed iteration schedule.
Agree the accepted revision, tests and inspection records, process/tooling documentation, planned quantity and production arrangements. Use those records to control the handoff from the prototype to the pilot build.
Start with the web brief, then email drawings or motor reference files to [email protected] using your project reference. The enquiry form does not provide file upload.
Active motor parts are integrated with the machine support, feedback and drive.
Shaft, flange, bearing and electrical connections are distinct configuration decisions.
Mechanical/electrical interfaces and documented end-of-line checks are useful customization topics.
Application & assembly review
Send the operating cycle, available space and fixed interfaces. Include your current motor reference or stator-rotor scope, and identify the design questions you want the first prototype to resolve.
Bring a sketch, selected components or the open interface questions. Use the review to define the assembly scope and next development step.
