How to Find a Manufacturer for Custom 24V DC Gear Motor Assemblies?

Click For Summary

Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around finding a manufacturer for custom 24V DC gear motor assemblies intended for actuating hydraulic ball valves. Participants express a need for assistance in identifying suitable manufacturers who can design these components according to specific requirements.

Maybe someone on these forums is associated with the electronic motor industry. My company is looking for a custom 24V dc gear motor assembly to actuate hydraulic ball valves. It would be a component we would offer with our product line. None of us have enough experience these types of devices to design a final product. We would be interested in finding a manufacturer to design to our specs. Something with the torque of a 24V Cordless Dewalt drill would be adequate.

Could anyone recommend a design manufacturer that might be able to help us?

I know that Rucker produces a vast range of hydraulics devices. I'll go see if I can find a link.
 
Okay, I'm back. Sorry dude... no joy there. I don't know if they've gone out of business or just aren't net-available.

What kind of production numbers are you talking about. I know of a small company here in Michigan that does custom drives and motors. I don't know too much about their production abilities though. You might give them a try.
