Engineering Capabilities
Source Engineering supports OEM teams who need more than a catalog part - custom motors, custom gearboxes, integrated joint modules, and special assembly projects from prototype through production volume.
Our US engineering team works with overseas R&D and manufacturing partners to deliver tailored motion solutions with the performance, cost structure, and supply-chain simplicity your program requires.
Custom Windings
Match your voltage, speed, and torque profile precisely. SEI develops custom motor windings for frameless servos, BLDC servos, and other motor platforms to meet your exact electrical and mechanical requirements.
- Voltage and speed matched to your drive system
- Torque density optimized for your duty cycle
- Prototype samples before production commitment
Integrated Drives & Encoders
Encoder and servo drive integration in a single module - as demonstrated in our humanoid joint modules and custom servo assemblies. SEI can integrate feedback devices and drive electronics into your motion subsystem.
- Absolute or incremental encoder options
- Servo drive integration for joint-level control
- Communication interfaces for real-time motion
Mechanical Design
Custom shafts, mounts, and housings for your assembly. SEI modifies standard platforms or develops custom mechanical interfaces so the motor or gearbox fits your envelope and load path.
- Custom shaft lengths, diameters, and keyways
- Flange and mounting pattern modifications
- Housing and bearing integration for frameless motors
Assembly & Special Projects
For customers who want a partner to do the whole thing - build a motor, integrate a gearbox, add an encoder, and deliver a tested subassembly ready for your machine.
- Motor-gearbox-encoder subassemblies
- Joint module integration and testing
- Special project engineering for non-standard applications
Prototype to Production Volume
From proof-of-concept samples through qualification and full production volumes. SEI supports OEM programs at the scale your business requires - typically hundreds to thousands of units per year.
- Engineering samples and pilot builds
- Quality control and incoming inspection
- Scalable production through manufacturing partners
