Motors & motor components
Powerful drive systems
MinebeaMitsumi develops powerful motors and motor components for a wide range of requirements and conditions. It is always important to find a future-oriented solution that is reliable, economical and efficient in times of e-mobility, climate change and industrialization.
Brushless DC motors
(BLDC motors)
Electronically commutated brushless DC motors are especially suitable for applications that run quietly and have a long service life. High-energy permanent magnets are extremely efficient at achieving rapid acceleration. The response of the rotor position is picked up electronically by the Hall sensors. As an option, we develop motors with encoders for high-resolution positioning controls or systems with either single-stage or multi-stage drives.

DC motors
MinebeaMitsumi DC motors offer flexibility not only in regard to the application areas that are possible but also in their dimensions. And because parts are manufactured in-house, the price is right as well.
The new (quadratic) S Series was specifically developed to operate within the smallest space requirement to achieve high torque and low weight.

FDB motors
The FDB motor links experience and expertise with maximum precision. It combines the advantages of a brushless DC motor with the cutting-edge technology of a fluid dynamic bearing motor. FDB stands for Fluid Dynamic Bearing. In addition to featuring high rotational speed, low vibration, and a long service life, the FDB motor stands out for its quiet running and accuracy, boasting wobble errors below 3” and low energy consumption. In the areas of 3D laser scanning, LiDAR, and virtual reality (laser tracking scanners), the innovative drive, which originated in the area of hard drive motors, is in high demand.
Stepper motors
Stepper motors translate electrical impulses into precise mechanical movements. The outstanding control features facilitate precise starting, stopping, and positioning. Hybrid step motors have permanent magnets as well as rotor and stator sprockets. MinebeaMitsumi’s PM step motors use a permanent magnet as a rotor. The range of products includes linear, drive, and high-speed PM motors, among others.
Thanks to their high capacity and compact design, step motors can be used in a variety of applications, including multi-function printers, medical devices, and factory automation systems.
Stepping Motor - Permanent Magnet Rotor
The linear actuating drive can ensure, for example, that a vehicle’s headlights always remain in their precise position. The drive raises and lowers the light beam depending on the vehicle’s load status. In addition, the drive provides better lighting in curves through an adaptive curve light. Another example of an application from a completely different area: the energy-independent heating radiator valve.
Pump motors
The pump motor has two functions: pumping and powering. It is made from very special materials to withstand the stresses in the vehicle, since it is permanently located there. Installed in the fuel tank, it supplies fuel to the engine exactly where it is needed.
Wheel hub drive
The complete drive combines all functional elements such as the wheel, a high-precision planetary gear, a powerful electric motor, a brake, and electronics and is particularly suitable for automated guided vehicles.

Active grill shutter actuator
Our AGA (active grill shutter actuator) is currently the only actuating drive system that meets the high demands and standards of automobile manufacturers. The drive system consists of electric motors, software, and electronic connections. The actuator can, for example, be used for automatic control of airflow in the front section of automobiles, thereby achieving a substantial reduction in emissions and fuel consumption. Applications in industry are, of course, also possible.
