Common Applications for Custom Electric Motors
Electric motors are available in several different styles and types and are therefore used across a wide range of applications. Electric motors also play a key role in industrial equipment and machinery, such as diesel trains, pumps, and compressors. Whether the setting is domestic, industrial, or commercial, some type of electric motor is probably in use. For this reason, original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) often require specialized, custom electric motors.
In certain fields – such as the medical, construction, industrial, material handling, agriculture, HVAC, and food processing sectors – working with custom electric motors is crucial for OEMs looking to meet stringent industry regulations. Building a custom electric motor gives the purchaser more control over the final product while ensuring optimal quality and performance.
Custom electric motors allow for unique specifications, and various modifications can be made to the manufacturing process; for instance, reduced assembly time, reduced labor needs during production, and fewer individual and purchased parts can all translate to greater cost savings.

Dietz is also proud to provide motors suitable for use in Class I, Group A, B, Division 1 hazardous locations. In areas where hydrogen is present and the danger level is high, custom explosion-proof motors are an ideal solution for ensuring optimal safety and efficiency. Dietz offers these motors in all NEMA frame sizes, ¼-100 hp, in both foot and flange mountings. Single-phase motors are also available.
Dietz also offers many manufacturers that produce ATEX, and IECex hazardous location motors. These models are ideal for areas where explosive gases, and dusts are present. Different configurations are available to ensure compliance with various national and international standards, as well as other relevant standards and regulations. These motors are highly versatile and can be supplied with many options and protection levels.
We also offer brake motors from Baldor, which are available in a few different configurations: totally enclosed fan-cooled, open drip-proof, and explosion-proof. These motors are also available in both single- and three-phase models. Highly versatile, Baldor brake motors are ideal for use in machine tools, conveyors, door operators, speed reducers, hoists, and any application requiring quick stops and positive holds.
