Empire Magnetics
Product Line Overview - Environments
Empire Magnetic
provides quality motor products designed to perform in environments and applications where ordinary motors are unsuitable. Custom systems and modifications are available upon request.
Vacuum Rated Motors
Vacuum
Commercial motors are designed for lowest cost, without consideration of possible use in a vacuum. Glues, insulation’s, varnishes, greases and other materials selected for lowest cost, typically evaporate or outgas very quickly in a vacuum.
Radiation Hardened Motors
Radiation
High energy gamma radiation will attack all of the materials in a device, however the non-metallic materials in a motor or resolver are subject to more rapid breakdown.
Waterproof Motors
Waterproof
The use of electrical motors in and around water presents a complex set of challenges to the equipment user, systems designer and to the equipment supplier.
Dustproof Motors
Dust proof
Many industrial operations involve the use, production or processing of materials in powder form. Motors used in the automation of such proceses are prone to failures when particulates migrate into unprotected bearings and motor cavities.
Abrasive Dustproof Motors
Abrasive Dust Proof
Many industrial operations involve the use, production or processing of materials in powder form. Motors used in the automation of such processes are prone to failures when particulates migrate into unprotected bearings and motor cavities.
Hazardous Area Motors
Hazardous Area
Two commonly used methods are Explosion Proof (EP) and Purged and Pressurized (PT). Explosion Proof devices are intended to withstand and contain an expected explosion, Purged and Pressurized systems are intended to prevent an explosion from occurring.
High Temperature Motors
High Temperature
High temperature motors, (HT- prefix) are provided with class H insulation systems. This insulation begins to melt at 180 degrees Centigrade.
Cryogenic Stepper Motors
Cryogenic
Cryogenic temperatures (to 20 degrees Kelvin) call for motors designed with materials carefully selected for compatible thermal expansion characteristics and resistance to brittleness. CY Series cryogenic stepper motors feature special cryogenic dry lubrication and proprietary metal and or metal alloy components. We can also manufacture custom motors wound with superconducting wire or perform other user specified alterations as required at additional cost.
Standard Industrial Motors
Standard Industrial
Frequently, customers of specialty products desire “non-environmental” products as a way to keep the high quality Empire Magnetics Inc. represents. New customers may wish to test standard products to insure they have selected the correct items for their application.

Learn About Vacuum Rated Motor Selection & Installation
Operating a motor in a vacuum is often perceived as a design challenge. Among engineers, the problems -- outgassing, contamination and temperature -- are well known. What is less well known is that there are now well-developed solutions to each of these problems.
