Our Comprehensive Motor Portfolio

Costr offers three specialized motor series spanning from ultra-compact Ø6mm to powerful Ø198mm options, covering virtually every precision motion control application. Whether you're developing drone propulsion systems, designing CNC machine spindles, building automated assembly lines, or creating prosthetic limb actuators, our motors deliver reliable performance across diverse industries.

Our portfolio serves applications from laboratory centrifuges and 3D printer extruders to robotic surgery systems and semiconductor manufacturing equipment. With motors optimized for electric vehicle drivetrains, underwater ROV thrusters, optical telescope tracking, and automated packaging machinery, we've engineered solutions for the most demanding environments.


Meet Our Three Motor Families

Planet Series: The Powerhouse Choice (Ø17mm - Ø198mm)

Best for: Robotics, automation, and applications needing serious torque

The Planet Series features nine models ranging from the compact Ø17mm PL1005 delivering 47,000 rpm for miniature drone propulsion to the powerful Ø198mm JU18030 providing 33 N·m for heavy-duty industrial robots. These motors excel in collaborative robot joints, automated guided vehicle wheels, CNC machine tool spindles, and electric vehicle hub motors.

Think of Planet Series as your high torque BLDC motor for robotics solution. These flat, powerful motors deliver exceptional torque in surprisingly compact packages. Perfect when you need a servo joint for collaborative robot arms or any application where space is tight but power can't be compromised.

Popular picks:

  • VE5010: Our versatile 52mm brushless DC motor with encoder - ideal for mid-range robotics applications

  • MA3010: Compact Ø43.5mm powerhouse for precision automation

  • JU18030: Heavy-duty option delivering 33 N·m for industrial applications

Key terms: Flat design saves space, high torque density, and proven reliability in demanding environments.


Atom Series: Precision Made Simple (Ø29mm - Ø86.8mm)

Best for: Applications requiring exact positioning and integrated control

With four precision models from Ø29mm to Ø86.8mm, the Atom Series targets gimbal stabilization systems, automated microscope stages, laser engraving heads, pick-and-place machines, and medical imaging equipment. These motors shine in semiconductor wafer handling, optical fiber alignment, and precision assembly automation.

When you need precision without complexity, Atom Series delivers. These are essentially compact servo actuator with integrated controller solutions - everything you need in one neat package. The built-in 14-bit encoders provide incredible accuracy, making them perfect for optical systems, medical devices, and precision instruments.

Popular picks:

  • EL20: Ultra-compact Ø29mm for space-critical applications

  • PR60: Higher power Ø67mm option for demanding precision tasks

  • NE30: Sweet spot for most precision applications at Ø42mm

Key terms: Plug-and-play simplicity, built-in precision, and excellent for prototyping.


Speed Series: When Fast Matters (Ø6mm - Ø22mm)

Best for: High-speed applications and weight-sensitive designs

Our four ultra-compact Speed Series models span Ø6mm to Ø22mm, reaching up to 63,200 rpm. Perfect for dental handpiece motors, laboratory mixer drives, cooling fan applications, handheld power tools, and precision pump systems. These excel in blood analyzer centrifuges, tattoo machine actuators, and model aircraft propulsion.

Need speed? Speed Series coreless motors reach up to 63,200 rpm while maintaining smooth, quiet operation. They're the go-to choice for medical automation, laboratory equipment, and anywhere high-frequency operation is essential.

Popular picks:

  • MC0623: Ultra-high speed for medical tools

  • YY1331-JS: Balanced performance for general high-speed needs

  • GL1025: Compact option for space-constrained applications

Key terms: Incredibly smooth operation, lightweight design, and exceptional speed capabilities.


Quick Selection by Application

Building Robots or Automation Systems?

Start with Planet Series. If you're designing collaborative robots, the flat profile works perfectly as a servo joint for collaborative robot arms. Need an alternative to Maxon BLDC motor? Our Planet Series offers comparable performance with better value and local support.

Pro tip: Pair with our recommended gear reducers for optimal performance. Ask about our precision planetary gear reducer for AGV applications.

Working on Medical or Precision Devices?

Atom Series is your friend. The integrated encoders eliminate external wiring complexity, and the BLDC motor for medical automation applications provides the smooth, quiet operation medical devices demand.

Need High-Speed Performance?

Speed Series delivers. Whether it's surgical tools, laboratory equipment, or any application requiring quiet BLDC motor for home automation, these coreless motors provide unmatched smoothness.


Common Questions Answered

"How do I reduce backlash in my robot joint?

Combine our Planet Series motors with precision reducers. We can recommend the perfect low backlash harmonic reducer for industrial robots to match your motor choice.

"Can you customize motors for our specific needs?

Absolutely. Cosmotr works closely with Costr to provide custom brushless DC motor manufacturer China solutions, regularly modifying motors for unique applications. Our engineering team collaborates with yours to optimize performance.

"Do you provide complete joint modules?

Yes! Cosmotr is more than just a motor supplier - we're your OEM robot joint module supplier. We can provide integrated solutions including Costr motors, reducers, encoders, and controllers.


Making Your Decision Easy

For most robotics applications: Start with Planet Series VE5010 or MA3010 For precision positioning: Choose Atom Series EL20 or NE30
For high-speed needs: Go with Speed Series MC0623 or YY1331-JS

Still not sure? That's exactly why we have engineers standing by. We don't believe in overwhelming you with endless options - we believe in finding the right solution quickly.
