The following is a list of some manufacturers/distributors of low voltage motors for battery operation. Most manufacturers are not set up to accept orders of less than 5 to 10 motors (except for development purposes) when you can contact a distributor.
A mention here does not constitute an endorsement by 4QD: we have made no charge for inclusion in this list and it is here solely as a potential contact list. You must make sure of the motor's suitability fot your own purpose.
When you contact a manufacturer, be sure to mention that you found them from the Internet! As you will notice, few of them are connected.
These are manufacturers of motors - they are not always able to supply in small quantites. If you only want a single motor, maybe someone who uses them may be able to supply. See our other address lists:
This address list contains email addresses: any person or organisation found harvesting these for the purpose of sending bulk, unsolicited commercial email will be reporetd to their sevice providers. See 4QD's anti-spam policy.
