From Aluminum Extrusion to Finished
Motor Housings
Manufactured through aluminum extrusion, CNC machining, surface finishing,
and final assembly.
Aluminum motor housings are widely used in industrial motors, servo motors, pumps, and other drive systems.
The housing is designed to accommodate bearing seats, shaft openings, mounting features, and cooling structures according to application requirements.
Aluminum motor housings are commonly manufactured through aluminum extrusion, CNC machining, surface finishing, and final assembly.
01 Aluminum Extrusion
Aluminum extrusion forms the main motor housing structure, including cooling fins, mounting features, and the external housing profile.
The profile is configured according to motor dimensions, thermal requirements, and assembly requirements.
After extrusion, the profiles are cut to length before CNC machining, surface finishing, and final assembly.

02 Surface Finishing
Surface finishing is applied after CNC machining according to appearance, corrosion resistance, and operating requirements.
Anodizing is commonly used for aluminum motor housings to improve corrosion resistance and provide a durable surface finish.
Different anodized colors and surface finishes can be selected according to customer requirements.


03 Design Considerations
Motor housings are typically designed according to thermal performance, mechanical assembly, and installation requirements.
Heat Dissipation
Cooling fins increase the available heat dissipation area to transfer heat generated during motor operation.
Fin dimensions and spacing are configured according to thermal requirements and extrusion feasibility.

Internal Assembly
The motor housing provides installation space for the stator, windings, sensors, and internal wiring.
Internal dimensions and mounting features are configured as the motor structure and assembly requirements.

Shaft Opening
The shaft opening should maintain accurate concentricity with the bearing mounting features.
Machining accuracy directly influences motor assembly and operating performance.

Mounting Features
Mounting holes, flanges, or feet are incorporated according to the installation method.
Mounting structures should provide sufficient strength for equipment installation.

End Cover Assembly
The housing should accommodate end covers, fasteners, and sealing features according to assembly requirements.
Assembly features are configured according to the motor structure.

04 Assembly
Motor assembly is completed after surface finishing according to product requirements.
Internal motor components are assembled into the housing, followed by installation of the end covers, shafts, and fastening components.
The assembled units are inspected before final packaging and shipment.

05 Final Inspection
Final inspection is completed after assembly before the products are packaged for shipment.
Inspection may include visual appearance, assembly quality, shaft rotation, and customer-specific inspection requirements.
Approved products are prepared for packaging and delivery.

06 Typical Applications
Aluminum motor housings are used in a wide range of industrial motor applications where structural strength, heat dissipation, and reliable assembly are required.
Typical applications include electric motors, servo motors, industrial drive systems, pumps, fans, conveyors, and automation equipment. Housing configuration, cooling structure, and mounting features vary according to motor size and operating conditions.
