Expanding the EC Motor Portfolio with Custom Upgrades

29. 01. 2026 | Karmen Nastran

At Domel, we combine strong technical expertise, extensive experience, and advanced development capabilities. This allows us to offer our customers more than just a basic product — we provide custom upgrades that reduce the number of operations, materials, and adaptations required on the customer’s side.

This is not a new approach for us. In fact, the demand for such solutions continues to grow year after year.

Why upgrades?

Because they allow us to help customers:

  • eliminate additional mechanical and structural components,
  • reduce the number of parts and manufacturing operations,
  • simplify assembly processes,
  • achieve cleaner integration of the motor into the final product,
  • obtain a more cost-effective, faster, and simpler solution,
  • while maintaining an excellent power-to-weight ratio, which is crucial for handheld and portable devices.

Customised versions have become the standard. Customers no longer want universal, one-size-fits-all solutions but they expect solutions precisely tailored to their application.

 

Practical Upgrade Examples

  • Chainsaw – custom flanges and hubs
  • Lawn mower – gearbox for wheel drive or motor mount for cutting blades

 

Benefits for the Customer

  • Lower production costs: fewer parts and fewer operations.
  • Cleaner integration: the product fits seamlessly without additional modifications.
  • Reduced risk: fewer joints and fewer tolerance issues.
  • Lower weight: especially important for user-carried tools.
  • Excellent power-to-weight ratio, improving ergonomics and performance of the final product.
  • Shorter development time on the customer’s side: we take over the complex engineering work.

 

Upgrade Options for Every Motor Variant

Each motor version represents a base platform (https://www.domel.com/products/ec-bldc-low-voltage-motors-48 ) that can be upgraded as required. For each motor type, the following options are available:

  • internal or external cooling versions,
  • versions with Hall sensors,
  • open or closed housing designs,
  • options with an integrated gearbox,
  • mechanical customisations (custom flanges, hubs, mounts, etc.),
  • electrical customisations (connectors, cables, voltages, etc.).

This means that virtually any motor base can be transformed into a customised, application-oriented module, ready for immediate integration into the customer’s final product.

 

Open for Collaboration

At Domel, we are open to collaboration in the development of:

  • new technical requirements,
  • special customisations,
  • tailor-made specifications,
  • and completely new designs when the application requires it.

 

How We Make It Happen

We rely on:

  • strong technological expertise,
  • well-equipped laboratories,
  • experienced development and design teams.

This enables us to quickly deliver an upgrade, prototype, testing, and a final solution fully aligned with customer requirements.

C1D2 Ventilation Motors: High Protection, High Efficiency, Built for Demanding Environments

Industrial ventilation in demanding environments leaves no room for compromise. Wherever there is a risk of flammable gases or vapours being present, the system must operate reliably and without any risk of ignition. Motors designed for Class 1 Division 2 (C1D2) environments are a direct response to these requirements.
