Synchronous Motor Manufacturer
Midwest Timer is a U.S.-based synchronous motor manufacturer specializing in custom, low-speed fractional horsepower designs. A synchronous motor converts electrical energy into mechanical energy by operating at a constant speed to generate electromotive force. We design and build these permanent magnet motors to deliver exact performance metrics for industrial OEMs. As a family-owned business, our owners are involved in every project to ensure our team provides high-quality components tailored to your specific engineering requirements and production timelines.
Commercial Synchronous Motor Uses
Our commercial synchronous motors are engineered for continuous-duty appliances. Manufacturers rely on our custom torque motors to power commercial and industrial systems requiring precise timing and reliable operation. We routinely supply components for the following uses:
- Timers and timing controls
- Water Heater Timers
- Water Softening Systems
- Irrigation Products
- Motorized Valves and Actuators
- Commercial Ice Makers
- Rotating Retail Displays

Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor Features
Our permanent magnet synchronous motors and custom synchronous torque motors utilize a precision-wound coil along with a permanent magnet rotor assembly. We insert these components into a durable, pre-coated steel stator cup to deliver consistent performance for your specific equipment needs. These torque motors securely connect to gearboxes through our unique locking tab configuration.
Standard operating specifications include:
- Clockwise and counter-clockwise output rotation capabilities
- Electrically-biased and mechanical direction systems
- Class B ambient temperature rating up to 125 degrees Celsius
- Nominal voltage inputs at 24 VAC, 115 VAC, and 230 VAC
- Operating frequencies at 50 Hz, 60 Hz, or dual 50/60 Hz

What is a Synchronous Motor?
A synchronous motor is a motor that converts electrical energy into mechanical energy by operating at the same, constant speed, at which the motor generates an electromotive force.
Standard and Custom Production Capabilities
We collaborate directly with your engineering staff to build standard and custom synchronous torque motors that match your exact requirements. Our production processes adhere to strict quality control standards to ensure reliable performance. All of our motors are UL and CSA listed to meet necessary industry compliance.
Our typical production lead time is 12 weeks. We can accommodate a wide range of order volumes, manufacturing everything from short runs of 150 units up to full production runs to support your manufacturing schedule.

Commercial Synchronous Motor Supplier FAQs
As an experienced synchronous motor manufacturer, we provide industrial OEMs with clear answers regarding our engineering processes and custom fulfillment capabilities. Review the questions below to learn more about how our team can support your specific equipment requirements.
Are output shafts customizable?
We machine custom output shafts to your precise length and profile requirements. Our team can incorporate specific flats and cross-holes to match your design.
What details do you need to quote a custom synchronous gearmotor?
To provide an accurate estimate, we ask for your required voltage, desired output speed, torque specifications, and directional rotation. It is also helpful to share any dimensional constraints and your estimated production volume. If you have an existing print or drawing, you can submit it directly to our team for review
How do you determine the correct gear ratio for a custom assembly?
When mating our motors to an M70 or M80 gearbox, we analyze your output torque and low-speed RPM requirements to engineer the correct internal gear train. We design the gear reduction ratio to handle continuous-duty loads while securely connecting via our unique locking tab configuration.
