Introducing the world’s seven top motor manufacturing powerhouses and brands!

  A motor is device that converts electrical energy into mechanical energy . It uses the energized coil (that is, the stator winding) to generate a rotating magnetic field and acts on the rotor (such as a squirrel-cage closed aluminum frame) to form a magneto-electric rotational torque.

 Motors are divided into DC motors and AC motors according to different power sources. Most of the motors in the power system are AC motors, which can be synchronous motors or asynchronous motors (the stator magnetic field speed of the motor and the rotor rotation speed do not maintain a synchronous speed). The motor is mainly composed of a stator and a rotor, and the direction of the energized wire in the magnetic field is related to the direction of the current and the direction of the magnetic field line (magnetic field direction). The working principle of the motor is that the force of the magnetic field on the current causes the motor to rotate. The following introduces the world’s seven major motor manufacturing powerhouses as follows:
1. Germany
Overview: Germany’s esteemed artisan technology developed country. German manufacturing was once called the “factory of many factories” and is the maker of the world’s factories. It is worth mentioning that, among the 31 sectors of machinery manufacturing in Germany, 27 of them once occupied the leading position in the world, and there are 17 sectors in the top 3. For example, Germany’s steel, chemical, machinery, electrical and other manufacturing industries are world-leading, and a number of world-renowned companies such as Volkswagen, Daimler, BMW, and Siemens have been born. According to incomplete statistics, Germany, which only has a population of more than 82 million, has an astonishing 2,300 world-famous brands.
Germany’s famous Fortune 500: For example, the automotive and auto parts industries include: Volkswagen, Daimler Benz, BMW Group, Bosch Group, Continental, ZF; pharmaceutical and chemical fields: BASF, Bayer Group, Bosch Ringer Ingelheim, Phoenix Pharmaceuticals, Fresenius Group; financial sector: Allianz, Munich Re, Deutsche Bank, German Central Bank, talanx; electrical sector and energy: Siemens, Rheinland Group, E.ON Group, metallurgical steel sector: ThyssenKrupp, Heraeus Holding Group; software sector: SAP; retail sector: Metro, ceconomy, Ideka; aviation sector: Lufthansa Group; sporting goods sector: Adidas Group; Utilities: Deutsche Telekom, Deutsche Post DHL Group, Deutsche Bahn, Baden-Württemberg Energy.
German motor manufacturing technology is the world’s top level. The outstanding features of German motor manufacturing: very exquisite craftsmanship, excellent and reliable quality, and scientific and perfect design. Especially the vibration noise and performance of the motor are quite reliable. For example, the high efficiency of German motors in European SHCORCH is considered to belong to the eff`1 level (the highest level of high efficiency), which is the highest standard of high-efficiency motors. Its competitors are only second tier. Its brand is recognized by many OEM manufacturers and engineering companies in Europe and America.
Germany has many top motor manufacturing giants. For example, the German Flender Group is one of the largest professional power transmission equipment manufacturers in the world. It was established in 1899 and is headquartered in Bocholt, Germany. It has a hundred years of manufacturing experience. Over the past 100 years, with its strong technical resources, leading manufacturing technology and excellent product quality, it has been in the leading position in the world’s driving industry. Manufactures reducers , couplings, gear motors and motors for various applications.
Important motor manufacturers in Germany:
Siemens Motor (Siemens): the world’s leading motor manufacturer. From building technology and automation equipment for manufacturers and construction companies, to imaging and diagnostic systems for hospitals, and electric motors for industrial and mobile purposes, Siemens seems to be everywhere. Since its founding more than 150 years ago, Siemens has grown into one of the world’s leading manufacturers of electric motors.
