About Specify Motion
Specify Motion is an engineering-led sourcing service for OEMs and machine builders. Tell us what the machine has to do; our engineers match the right slip rings, actuators, motors, gearing, feedback and drives across our supply network and connect you with the right supplier.
How it works
- Tell us what you need. Describe the application, build a specification in the spec builder, chat with Mark, or send a part number.
- An engineer reviews it. They check the sizing and match it across manufacturers in our supply network, not just one catalogue.
- Move towards buying the right products. We introduce a relevant procurement provider for an original part, suitable alternative or complete package. That provider confirms the quotation, purchasing route, delivery and after-sales support. Every enquiry gets a reference number so it is easy to follow up.
Why engineers use us
- One enquiry, several manufacturers. We compare across brands to find the best fit for your load, speed, envelope and budget.
- The complete axis. Motor, drive, gearbox, feedback and slip ring matched to work together, with one point of contact.
- A free engineering check. Send your numbers and an engineer will sanity-check the sizing, with no obligation.
- Replacements and long lead times. Send an obsolete or hard-to-get part number and we will find a current equivalent. Find a replacement.
Who we work with
Design engineers, engineering managers and buyers at OEMs and machine builders, from prototype through to production volumes and long-term spares.
Clearly labelled information
