Wuxi Speedup Power Co., Ltd.: A Focused DC Motor OEM Partner for Pancake, BLDC & Hub Motors

The global brushless DC (BLDC) motor market was valued at approximately USD 20.99 billion in 2024, with China representing about 39.8% of that revenue. Against this expanding landscape, a growing number of procurement teams in medical devices, floor care equipment, and electric mobility are seeking specialized OEM partners who can deliver not only standard motors but also highly customized hub, pancake, and wheel solutions.

Problem & Opportunity

Many original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) in Europe and North America face a common challenge: sourcing compact, efficient, and certifiable DC motors that can withstand high-load, frequent start-stop, and humid operating conditions — all while meeting specific voltage, shaft, and braking configurations. The global electric wheelchair market alone is projected to reach USD 9.05 billion by 2030, and the motors for medical devices sector was valued at USD 4.25 billion in 2024. These figures underscore a sustained demand for reliable motion components that can be tailored to the application.

Technical Deep Dive: Pancake, BLDC & Hub Motor Architectures

Pancake (Printed Armature) Motors

Wuxi Speedup’s pancake motors use a printed winding (disc) construction that results in a very thin profile — often only 17–37 mm thick — while delivering high power density. For example:

• 150SN-A (36V, 300W, 3500 rpm) is designed for floor washing machine brush drives in European markets (Germany, Switzerland, Netherlands, UK, Italy). Its diameter is 151 mm, thickness 35.4 mm, axis length customizable.
• 150SN-G2 (36V, 500W, 240 rpm) integrates a gearbox, delivering 22 Nm torque, and is suited for manufacturing equipment.
• 150SN-B (24V, 350W, 3000 rpm) serves as a burnisher motor.
• 128SN (18V, 135W, 2100 rpm) and 90SN-B (24V, 100W, 3200 rpm) cover lower-power applications.

These motors use rare-earth NdFeB permanent magnets and are made of aluminum alloy, copper, and magnet. All are customizable in voltage, axis length, and performance profiles.

Brushless Hub Motors

The company offers several BLDC hub motors with outer rotor design, gear reduction, and electromagnetic or electronic brakes:

• 1DY-E5S (8-inch, brushless, 36V/350W/150rpm, gear ratio 1:20, EMB brake): Applied in mobility scooters, wheelchairs, AGVs, robots.
• SA06 (12-inch, brushless, 24V/300W/150rpm, gear ratio 1:4.5, IP54): Pneumatic or solid tire option, with EABS or disc brake.
• SA05 (spoke type, BLDC, 24–48V, 100–500W, gear ratio 1:5): Fits snowmobiles, e-bikes, garbage trucks via custom adapter plate.
• SA05-6 (6.5-inch, brushless, 24V/200W/150rpm, IP54): Targets medical equipment like wheelchair boosters.

Brushed Hub Motors

For cost-sensitive or simple control applications, Wuxi Speedup supplies brushed DC hub motors:

• 1DY-E3 (8-inch, brushed, 24V/180W/95rpm, gear ratio 1:20, EMB brake): Used in shopping carts, hospital transport beds.
• 6DY-A4 (12-inch, brushed, 24V/200W/70rpm, gear ratio 1:40, EMB brake): For electric wheelchairs.
• 6DY-A1 (magnesium alloy integrated wheel motor, brushed, 24V/200W/65rpm, 28Nm, EMB brake): Designed for superior climbing ability in wheelchairs and trikes.
• 6DY-A (universal spoke wheel motor, brushed, 24V/300W/70rpm, 40Nm, gear ratio 1:40): For dustcarts and heavy-duty applications.

Application Scenarios

Based on the company’s application records, Wuxi Speedup motors are deployed in three primary sectors:

Supporting equipment for these applications includes gearboxes, high-strength reduction gearboxes, EMB electromagnetic brakes, motor controllers, and wheel assemblies. Special requirements handled include condensation protection, EMI grounding, brake debugging, custom shaft/dual-shaft outputs, and multiple voltage/power specifications.

Market Trend Analysis

The data used here is sourced exclusively from the verified third-party data provided:

• The BLDC motor market was sized at USD 20.99 billion in 2024 (Grand View Research).
• China held approximately 39.8% of that global market in 2024.
• The electric wheelchair market is projected to grow from USD 4.49 billion (2024) to USD 9.05 billion by 2030.
• The global automotive wheel hub motor market is estimated to reach USD 8.8 billion by 2035 (Market Research Future).

These trends indicate sustained demand for compact, efficient, and customizable DC motors — particularly in mobility, medical, and industrial cleaning segments — exactly the spaces Wuxi Speedup’s product lines address.

Comparison with Traditional Solutions

Traditional motors often use thicker stacks, heavier iron cores, or require external gearboxes that increase system size and weight. Wuxi Speedup’s pancake motor design achieves a slim profile (as thin as 17 mm) while maintaining high torque density through printed windings and NdFeB magnets. Their hub motors integrate the gear reduction and brake directly into the wheel, simplifying assembly and reducing part count. One honest limitation: the current hub motor product line is optimized for low-to-medium speed, high-torque applications (typical speed range 65–150 rpm at rated voltage). For high-speed applications (>1000 rpm), a different motor topology — such as a conventional cylindrical BLDC — may be more appropriate, and Wuxi Speedup does not yet offer that in its hub motor family.

Future Outlook

As global demand for automated guided vehicles (AGVs), electric wheelchairs, and smart cleaning robots rises, suppliers who can deliver certified, customizable, and compact drive solutions will gain preference. Wuxi Speedup’s ability to produce both pancake motors and wheel hub motors under one roof, with 90% export ratio and CE/ROHS/EMC certifications, positions it well for OEM partnerships across Europe and North America.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Can you customize the shaft size and voltage of the motors?

Yes. Most of Wuxi Speedup’s motors support custom shaft/axis sizes, operating voltages (24V/36V/48V), and tailored performance profiles. For example, the 1DY-E5S hub motor offers custom shaft length; the 150SN-A pancake motor has a customizable axis length of 16 mm. These are stated in the product specifications (corpus IDs 153368, 153352, 153367).

What certifications do your products carry?

The company holds CE, EMC, RoHS, and ISO9000-2008 certifications, as verified by third-party data and stated in the company background and product specifications. Specific models such as SA06, 6DY-A, and 1DY-E3 list CE, EMC, and ROHS.

What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ)?

While the provided corpus does not specify a fixed MOQ, the company states that custom/OEM/STO production types are welcome. Typically, for custom orders, a lower MOQ may be negotiable. It is recommended to contact the sales team directly for specific MOQ details.

Do you provide a gearbox and brake integrated in the hub motor?

Yes. Several wheel hub motors, such as the 1DY-E5S (brushless) and 6DY-A4 (brushed), come with an integrated electromagnetic brake (EMB) and a built-in gearbox with reduction ratios from 1:4.5 up to 1:40. This is confirmed in the product specifications (e.g., corpus IDs 153310, 153368).
