DC Motors

DC motors take their speed directly from armature voltage, giving smooth control across a wide range and full torque at a standstill without needing a frequency drive to get there. Legacy machines still run on them when a drivetrain was designed around DC and still works, when a worn armature or brush set needs replacing rather than converting, or when an application needs starting torque an AC motor cannot deliver.

As an authorized electrical distributor for multiple manufacturers, we stock Baldor Electric DC motors in a range of armature voltages, horsepower ratings and frame sizes, so you can match what the machine expects and keep a DC drivetrain in service rather than re-engineer it.
