About us

Custom Motor & Design Adaptation

Astrosyn takes pride in offering a truly adaptable design service, delivering cost‑effective motor customisation without compromising performance or reliability.

Our ability to carry out skilled modifications on standard components allows us to avoid the time and cost penalties of traditional design routes, while still enabling enhancements that do not invalidate warranties. This gives our clients the flexibility they need, backed by the assurance of proven engineering quality.

Expert Adaptation Services Include:

• Flange and housing modifications

• Special connectors

• Custom shafts, keyways, gears, and pinions

• Integration of gearboxes, brakes, and encoders

• Winding reconfiguration

• EMC‑compliant motor elements (braiding, chokes, etc.)

• IP rating upgrades

• Sub‑assembly and electronics manufacture

In addition to motor customisation, Astrosyn provides full development and manufacture of electromechanical sub‑assemblies. These assemblies are fully tested and supplied in call‑off batches to support tightly scheduled production cycles. By engineering this service with the same precision as our products, our motors and drives team offers the flexibility and technical expertise required to deliver tailored solutions.
