Motor Design
From Concept to Completion
Over 85 years ago, Makita pledged to design and manufacture the best motors available. Makita believes that the motor is the heart of any power tool and we take great pride in our motor expertise. We spare no expense in producing the most powerful, efficient and best performing motors available for each tool.
Raw Materials:
The first building block in manufacturing durable, efficient motors is the choice of raw materials. Makita selects only the highest quality raw materials for its motor components. * Premium-Grade Steel - used to produce armature shafts and gears, and graded to the highest industry standards * High-Grade Magnetic Copper Wire - 97% Pure Copper for superior current flow and to withstand extreme temperatures * Premium-Grade Magnetic Steel – ensures efficient current flow and higher output of power
Armature & Field Core:
The armature is the first building block in assembling the motor. All Makita armatures are dynamically balanced to twice the industry standard, giving Makita the finest balanced motor armature available to ensure long life with less vibration. The field core is made from the highest quality magnetic steel available and is stamped and laminated into a tight and uniform core. The tight tolerances in the field core deliver the most efficient energy transfer and the most output power.
