Taunton Motors
Direct supply of high-performance slotless micro drives designed to meet the rigorous technological requirements of Catalonia's precision manufacturers.
Barcelona has firmly positioned itself as Spain's premier innovation platform for advanced industrial engineering and surgical technology. Home to prestigious clusters such as the Catalonia BioRegion and the southern European hub for automation robotics, local original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) demand high-density motion systems. To sustain micro-millimeter precision in applications ranging from minimally invasive surgical tools to industrial warehouse AGVs, engineers are moving away from traditional iron-core motors.
The primary driver behind this transition is the elimination of rotational detent (cogging torque) and the achievement of an outstanding power-to-weight ratio. As Barcelona's automotive suppliers integrate sophisticated driver assistance systems and smart lock modules, coreless technology provides the required reliability. The local market demands responsive local support, short iteration cycles, and full compliance with European standards.
How we engineering micrometers and decibels into flawless operational reality.
At Taunton Motors, we measure our success in micrometers and decibels. We understand that inside a premium robotic joint, a medical dosing pump, or a high-end smart lock, space is the ultimate luxury. Our mission is to pack maximum torque, unyielding durability, and near-silent acoustics into the most compact footprints imaginable.
Our expertise lies in the harmony of miniature engineering. From precision-wound rotors and high-purity copper commutators to custom-designed planetary gearheads, every component inside a Taunton Motors micro motor is optimized for low energy consumption and a friction-free lifespan. We constantly push the limits of micro-drive tech, utilizing advanced automated Swiss-style hobbing and Japanese dynamic balancing to ensure that our internal gear trains operate with zero-backlash precision. When the integrity of your high-tech device hangs on repeated mechanical perfection, Taunton Motors delivers the silent power that anchors your design.

Unlike conventional permanent magnet DC motors that wind wire around a slotted iron structure, a coreless DC motor features a self-supporting, skew-wound cylindrical copper coil. By omitting the heavy iron core, we eliminate the physical factors that limit system efficiency and dynamic agility.
Our current technology roadmap focuses on integrated feedback interfaces (high-resolution magnetic and optical encoders) and high-rigidity slotless brushless configurations (BLDC) capable of running continuously in autoclavable environments.
Custom-engineered micro-motion systems matched to specific industrial applications.

Critical engineering insights for design teams choosing micro-motion components.
The absence of an iron core eliminates "cogging torque" (rotational detent), which ensures smooth rotation even at very low speeds. It also significantly lowers the rotor's mass moment of inertia, allowing for rapid start-stop cycles. This performance profile is critical for surgical systems, precision lenses, and robotic joints.
Yes. We offer customization options including custom shaft lengths, flat spots, gear shapes, specific operating voltages, customized coil resistances, and integrated connector assemblies. Our engineering team provides detailed design drawings within 48 hours.
Our China Factory 4.0 utilizes computerized automatic winding machines, slow-feeding NC wire-cut equipment, and high-precision gear hobbing tools. Each production lot undergoes strict quality testing, including dynamic balancing checks, temperature/humidity environmental tests, noise analysis, and dynamometer loading profiles before export.
All our standard motor series are fully compliant with EU Directives. They carry CE, RoHS, and REACH certifications. We provide chemical data sheets and declaration of conformity files with every production order to ensure compliance.
Standard prototype evaluations ship within 1 to 2 weeks. High-volume customized production runs are completed in 4 to 6 weeks, with flexible sea or air shipping options directly serving the Port of Barcelona or El Prat Airport.
