About us

Motion Control Products Ltd is a technology company specialising in smart, high-performance universal servo and stepper motors, drives, IoT motion systems, and automation solutions. We support our customers’ success through engineering expertise, decades of experience, and access to a comprehensive portfolio of motion and automation technologies.

For over 30 years, Motion Control Products has partnered with some of the most respected names in the industry. In doing so, we have built an enviable reputation as a provider of motion control solutions for applications demanding high power density, high precision, compact size, and reliable performance in extreme environments — including robotics, UAVs, ROVs, AGVs, medical devices, surveillance systems, and defence. We are equally adept at supplying general-purpose and industrial automation systems, including CNC production machines, food and beverage lines, packaging, converting, and bespoke machinery.

Motion Control Products works with cutting-edge technologies to serve high-performance applications while also offering best-in-class solutions for cost-sensitive projects. We provide electric motors of all types, including high-efficiency BLDC, stepper, and servo motors, along with drives, gearboxes, linear actuators, slip rings, and harmonic gear motors — supported by versatile communication protocols.


Our core product portfolio includes:


- Stepper motors and servo motors
- Stepper drives and servo drives
- Brushless and stepper motors with integrated electronics
- Voice coils and frameless motors
- Linear motors and direct drive torque motors
- Electric actuators with IP ratings up to IP69K
- Planetary and strain-waved gearboxes

Encoders and motion sensors

Motion Control Products are the official distributor for some world’s leading encoder manufacturers: Netzer, KappaSense, Bogen and US Digital. Among these four, our complete ranges cover the both rotary and linear encoder forms using the latest generation technologies. Electric Encoders™ from Netzer: Our newly launched Electric Encoders™ from Netzer are a range of absolute-position, rotary electric encoders, featuring with high accuracy, low profile, hollow shaft geometry, and remarkable low weight and inertia. The encoder ranges have OD size from 16mm to 130mm). With options including hollow-shaft and multi-axis designs, they meet NASA and ESA standards. Typical applications cover from harsh environment and defense, industrial automation, collaborative and medical robotics through unmanned vehicles and aerospace to special low orbit and deep space missions. BOGEN’s linear magnetic scales: Our Bogen magnetic encoders from Germany include magnetic sensing heads, rings, and tapes for linear and rotary use. These offer optical-level precision at lower cost, suitable for metrology, surgical robotics, and MICR applications. Compliant with international standards, our encoder portfolio delivers accuracy, resilience, and flexibility across industrial, medical, and space-grade systems. Capacitive linear encoders from KappaSense: Available in incremental and absolute types, the FLEXe™ series offers excellent vibration tolerance and broad operational range, while the FREEe™ series features passive, lightweight readheads for cable-free operation and scalability. Both are highly customisable and contamination-resistant.

Gears and variators

Motion Control Products supply a range of different types of gearboxes which are commonly found in automation applications. Typically, these types would include – Planetary gearbox Strain Wave (Harmonic) gearbox Hollow shaft helical gearbox Right Angle Bevel gearbox Worm wheel gearbox The type of gearbox and the physical arrangement of the gears selected within the housing is usually determined by the speed and torque required as well as the service factor (or characteristics of use) and the preferred envelope size. The gearbox will be selected to consideration of low backlash, low noise, efficiency, dimension and service life expectation. All gearboxes can be supplied with either brushed, brushless or stepper motors fitted to suit the desired functionality.

Industrial Communications

Industrial motors and drives

Motion Control Products Ltd. brings to it's customers the broadest range of electric motors and matched drives in the market, which include: Brushless ac or dc servo motors and servo drives; Brushed ac or dc motors, servo motors and matched servo drives; Hybrid and permanent magnet stepper motors and stepper drives; Stepper motors or servo motors with integrated electronics; Servo wheels for AGVs; Rotary harmonic actuators with Safety-over-EtherCAT function; Specialised motors including linear motors, frameless motor, torque motors, voice coils and more.

Industrial PCs and Software

Linear and Rotary Stages, Linear Motors

For multi-axis motion needs, Motion Control Products offer an extensive range of linear stages and miniature stages, in a various formats to suit our customer requirements. These can be supplied either as a full system, i.e.: complete with drives, controller, granite or steel baseplate with welded support frame or as a standalone unit to match customer's requirements. Typical applications range from laser cutting, electronic manufacturing, assembly to vision systems and industrial automation. Our new-launched MMF4 series magnet-free track linear motors represent an innovation in linear motion technology. Unlike conventional linear motors with magnets in the track, the MMF4 series relocates magnets and coils into the mover, eliminating rare-earth magnets from the platen. This patented magnetic field modulation technology offers exceptional force density, high speed, low cogging, and low EMI, while significantly reducing cost—particularly for long-stroke applications. With continuous forces up to 456N, peak forces of 1124N, MMF4 motors achieve over 90% efficiency. Enhanced safety, reduced electromagnetic interference, and increased durability make them ideal for demanding environments such as semiconductor, laser processing, medical, and robotics applications. Complementing the MMF4, MCP’s MMD linear motor modules offer compact, high-performance motion systems for long-travel, magnet-sensitive uses, with four frame sizes and high levels of integration. Together, MMF4 and MMD redefine efficient, safe, and sustainable linear motion solutions.
