Kollmorgen alternatives

Kollmorgen has built servo motors, drives and frameless motors since 1916, works from Radford, Virginia, and today operates as a brand of Regal Rexnord, selling to machine builders and robot manufacturers across the Americas, Europe and Asia. The four alternatives below each pull the purchase in a direction Kollmorgen does not go. Leadshine replaces the transatlantic supply line with a Shenzhen one: founded in 1997, listed on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange, more than 1,000 employees, and a Leadshine America office in California for regional support. maxon swaps breadth for motor depth: precision electric motors and drive systems from Sachseln, Switzerland, privately held by the Braun family, around 3,200 employees and eleven production sites. Moog, founded in 1951 in East Aurora, New York and listed on the NYSE, pairs motion control with fluid control for aerospace, defence, industrial and medical programmes. Nabtesco covers the reduction-gear side of the axis entirely: formed in Tokyo in 2003 from the integration of Teijin Seiki and NABCO, it employs 8,472 people across 51 overseas subsidiaries and lists on the Tokyo Stock Exchange. Buy Leadshine for cost-sensitive volume from China, maxon for a dedicated precision motor, Moog when fluid control joins the motion problem, and Nabtesco when the gearbox, rather than the motor, is the open question.
