    What this category covers

    Drives and power transmission spans the equipment that generates rotary or linear motion and transmits it to the point of use. Electric motors convert electrical energy into rotary mechanical power for pumps, fans, conveyors, and countless other applications. Linear motors provide direct linear motion without mechanical conversion, used in high-precision positioning and handling equipment. Motor drive systems, such as variable frequency drives and servo drives, control motor speed, torque, and positioning. Alongside these, the field includes mechanical power transmission components such as gearboxes, couplings, belts, chains, and shafts that transfer power from a motor to a driven machine. Suppliers listed here range from component manufacturers to system integrators and service providers.

    How to shortlist Drives & Power Transmission suppliers

    In the pre-selection phase, focus on core competence rather than individual product data. Check which drive principles and power ranges a supplier actually specialises in, which industries they serve, and which quality and environmental management systems they operate under, ISO 9001 for quality management and ISO 14001 for environmental management are common baselines. Motors and drive components are commonly built to relevant IEC standards, such as IEC 60034 for rotating electrical machines and IEC 60529 for enclosure protection ratings. Delivery reliability is consistently ranked by industrial buyers as the single most important factor when choosing a new supplier, so weight demonstrated supply capability heavily.

    Frequently asked questions

    What is the difference between an electric motor and a motor drive system?
    An electric motor converts electrical energy into mechanical rotation. A motor drive system, such as a variable frequency drive, controls that motor’s speed and torque rather than generating motion itself.

    What is the difference between a rotary motor and a linear motor?
    A rotary electric motor produces rotational motion, typically converted to linear motion via mechanical components when needed. A linear motor produces linear motion directly, without gearboxes or belts.

    Which standards apply to industrial electric motors?
    IEC 60034 covers rotating electrical machines, including the efficiency classes defined in IEC 60034-30 (IE2, IE3, IE4). Enclosure protection is typically specified using IEC 60529 IP ratings.
