Technical Evaluation Guide

Essential Parameters for Custom Motor Engineering

To ensure your custom motor quote matches your exact operational demands, our US application engineers review nine critical performance vectors before establishing mechanical concepts and volume pricing.

Continuous & Peak Torque

Define your steady-state running torque, acceleration torque spikes, and breakaway torque requirements to optimize lamination stack length and magnetic material selection.

  • Rated torque targets (mNm, oz-in, Nm)
  • Peak load duration & duty cycle limits
  • Thermal margin & temperature rise constraints

Operating Speed & Voltage

Specify target RPM and supply voltage tolerances so our electromagnetic engineers can calculate winding turns, wire gauge, and wire resistance for maximum efficiency.

  • Operating voltage range (12V–96V DC or AC lines)
  • Rated operating speed & speed regulation
  • Back-EMF constant & torque constant matching

Mechanical Envelope & Shaft

Share spatial constraints, frame size limits (NEMA or metric), flange geometry, shaft dimensions, keyways, flat cuts, or integrated lead screws.

  • Max length & outer diameter (OD) limits
  • Custom shafting (D-cut, cross-hole, threading)
  • Front & rear mounting hole patterns

Environment & Ingress Protection

Protect your motor assembly against dust, moisture, chemical exposure, shock, and extreme operating temperatures across industrial or outdoor deployments.

  • IP rating options (IP54, IP65, IP67)
  • Operating ambient temp (-40°C to +105°C)
  • Specialty shaft seals & conformal coatings

Feedback & Integrated Control

Select appropriate commutation and position feedback solutions for closed-loop positioning, precise speed hold, or direct controller integration.

  • Hall sensors, optical/magnetic encoders
  • Integrated BLDC drive electronics
  • Brake & gearhead secondary integration

Annual Volume & Target Cost

Disclose your annual unit requirements and batch delivery schedules so our sourcing team can optimize manufacturing processes and tool tooling investment.

  • Prototype & pilot batch sizing
  • Annual volume projections (EAU)
  • Target unit pricing & target BOM target
Platform Selection Matrix

Custom Motion Technologies Performance Baseline

Compare baseline characteristics across Telco’s core customizable motor platforms. Every platform can be tailored on winding, stack height, shafting, and gearing to meet your envelope.

Detailed engineering comparison of custom motor platform parameters
Motor Technology Power Density & Torque Service Life (L10) Control Complexity Customization Scope Primary Target Applications
Brushless DC (BLDC) Very High (High kW/kg) 20,000+ Hours (Bearing limited) Requires electronic drive Windings, magnet grade, shaft, sensors, IP sealing Medical pumps, AGVs, lab analyzers, power tools
Hybrid Stepper Motor High holding torque at low speed 10,000+ Hours Open-loop or closed-loop step drive Step angle, lead screw, dual shaft, encoder, wiring harness Lab dispensing, 3D printing, optics, indexing stages
Brushed PMDC Motor Moderate to High initial torque 2,000–5,000 Hours (Brush life) Simple 2-wire DC / PWM voltage control Brush materials, varistors, EMI filters, gearbox mounting Commercial automation, valve actuators, automotive options
Planetary / Spur Gear Motor Exceptional (High torque magnification) 5,000–15,000 Hours Matched to prime mover (BLDC/DC) Gear ratios (3:1 to 1000:1), metal/plastic gears, bearings Robotic drives, heavy-duty actuators, conveyor stages
Coreless DC Motor High acceleration (Zero cogging) 5,000–10,000 Hours Low-voltage DC drive Winding resistance, precious metal brushes, encoder caps Portable medical devices, surgical tools, micro-robotics

* Note: Operational lifespan depends heavily on duty cycle, continuous operating temperature, radial/axial shaft loads, and environmental sealing.

Technical FAQ

Frequently Asked Technical & Sourcing Questions

Get quick answers regarding custom tooling, lead times, prototype quantities, and design support.

To deliver an accurate technical design proposal and price quotation, our engineering team evaluates your continuous torque, peak torque, operating speed, supply voltage, duty cycle, mechanical mounting envelope, shaft configuration, feedback/encoder preferences, IP ratings, and target annual volume.

Modified standard platforms (custom windings, shaft extensions, specialized connectors) can reach functional prototype samples in 4 to 6 weeks. Ground-up custom designs requiring new lamination or gearbox tooling typically range from 10 to 14 weeks through design freeze, validation testing, and first-article approval.

Yes. Telco supports prototype, pilot, and bridge builds so OEM design teams can validate real-world machine performance prior to full production releases. Every build follows strict drawing revision control and ISO 9001 procedures.

Telco provides drawing-controlled specifications, 3D STEP files, speed-torque performance curves, First Article Inspection (FAI) reports, material RoHS/REACH declarations, and formal Engineering Change Notifications (ECN).

Absolutely. We routinely execute mutual NDAs with OEM design and purchasing teams prior to reviewing proprietary CAD models, system schematics, or performance requirements.
