DC Brushless Motors
Marotta designed and qualified its first brushless DC motor in 2014 and has since designed a family of motors for actuation solutions in demanding aerospace and defense applications. In 2024, Marotta introduced its latest product line, Motorfox. Based in Minnesota, Motorfox is a 10,000 sq. ft. facility and represents the third Marotta operating site. Motorfox is capable of designing, developing, qualifying and manufacturing high-performance DC-Brushless motors for a wide range of aerospace and defense applications. Our precision brushless DC motors are currently available with lamination stack diameters from 0.4″ to 3.0″ and continue to increase in size.
Standard motors can be customized to customer specific mounting requirements, output shaft configurations, gearheads, and various commutation sensors. Motors are designed to RTCA-DO-160 or MIL-STD-810 and MIL-STD-461 requirements and adherence to FAR, DFAR or other government or regulatory agency requirements.
