2. Product overview
Plettenberg is a global leader in high-performance rugged BLDC
motors. The product range includes inrunner and outrunner BLDC
as well as brushed DC motors. Our motors range in power from 20W
to 50kW, with up to 95% efficiency levels and up to 26kW/kg power-
to-weight ratio. All our motors are made-to-order and tailored to the
specific requirements of its customers. The customization process
involves adjusting the number of windings, number of poles, stator
length, ingress protection, etc. The result is a motor design, which
leads to the highest possible efficiency over the entire load profile
and covers all critical load points with safety buffer, while minimizing
size and weight. Plettenberg aims to maximize the weight-to-
performance-to-robustness ratio and minimize the total-cost-of-
ownership of its customers.

Quality Solution Focus
All our drive solutions are made-to-
order and tailored to the specific
requirements of our customers.
This can include adjustments to
housing, shaft, number of poles,
winding, cooling, potting, IP rating,
etc. These adjustments allow us to
build the most efficient, lightest
and robust drive solutions for our
customers.
We support our customers
throughout the entire product life
cycle. Our engineers provide
extensive development and system
integration advise and support with
prototyping. Following
development, we manufacture the
final series inhouse for as many
years as required by our
customers. We also offer an
extensive spare parts program.
We take a holistic perspective and
always look at total efficiency over
the entire load profile. We tailor our
products such that endurance and
performance is maximized, and
weight is minimized. Often, a
tailored drive solution can increase
efficiency by 15-30%, mitigate the
need for gearboxes and reduce
overall system cost.
All our drive solutions are rugged
in design and built for application
in harsh environments. Our NOVA
series of BLDC inrunners is
available with ingress protection of
up to 67. This makes them ideally
suited for missions in the harshest
environments, such as snow, desert
or sea water operation.
All our drive solutions are
developed and manufactured at our
HQ in Germany. We employ highly
experienced professionals with
many years of experience. We
believe in products built by hand,
as it provides for the highest
quality and a great degree of
flexibility. We have a strict quality
system which is ISO 9001 certified.
We provide customers with tailored
system solutions, comprising
motor, ESC as well as related
accessories. Next to the hardware,
we provide extensive engineering
and system integration support. In
the case of starter-generators, we
provide the generator as well as
starter-generator electronic boxes.
