About Empire Magnetics

Empire Magnetics is a privately held California manufacturer of specialty motors engineered for environments where ordinary motors fail. From its Rohnert Park facility it builds 1.8° hybrid permanent-magnet stepper motors and selected brushless servo motors rated for high vacuum, cryogenic temperatures, radiation exposure, hazardous areas, high heat, water immersion and abrasive dust, alongside standard industrial motors and motor-gearbox assemblies. The company states more than three decades — currently "38 years" — of motion-control experience, and its motors are built to order from high-grade materials, with custom systems and modifications available on request. Its published customer list is heavy on research and aerospace institutions — NASA and JPL, Los Alamos, Argonne and Brookhaven national laboratories, Boeing, the European Space Agency and university observatories — and it has completed US Navy contracts as a prime contractor and further government work as a subcontractor to major primes.

Sales run through a nationwide and international distributor network that also supplies the drives, controls and accessories for complete motion systems. For directory partners, Empire Magnetics is the niche supplier for positioning motors that must survive vacuum chambers, radiation fields, sub-zero or submerged duty where catalogue motors cannot operate.

Questions partners ask

GlobleMatch Trust Signals

A directory that doesn’t sell stars. Trust Signals are built only from verifiable facts — never from anonymous ratings, and never for sale. There is no single hidden score.

Public information coverage	7 of 9 fields on the standard profile could be filled from public sources. This counts how much public information exists about the company — not how good the company is. The nine fields are listed in the methodology. Claiming the profile lets the company complete the remaining fields itself.
Last verified	9 November 2026 — facts on this profile were checked against the sources listed below. Profiles are re-checked on a published 90-day cycle; this date is never quietly refreshed.

Claim this profile to unlock response record, directory tenure and peer endorsements. The full methodology — what each signal measures and how it is calculated — is published in the Trust Signals methodology, including a change log.
