Highly certified low-voltage and high-voltage three-phase asynchronous motors for severe applications.
Shaanxi Nanfang Motor Technology Co., Ltd. is the premier authorized global distributor for Wolong Electric Drive Group Co., Ltd. Founded in 1984 and listed on the Shanghai Stock Exchange in 2002 (code SH600580), Wolong has grown to become the undisputed global power in motor design, development, and control solutions. Currently, Wolong operates 3 manufacturing bases, 39 advanced factories, and 3 global R&D centers spanning multiple continents.
Through strategic mergers and acquisitions, the Wolong brand portfolio integrates some of the world's most distinguished motor companies. These include Brook Crompton, Morley, Laurence Scott, Schorch, ATB, and OLI. This consolidation integrates over a century of British engineering, Austrian precision, and German technology with advanced industrial manufacturing systems. In 2018, General Electric (GE) Industrial Motors joined the alliance, further bolstering the group's global footprint in high-reliability, heavy-duty industrial electric motors.
Addressing hazardous locations, energy-efficiency demands, and heavy industry challenges globally.
Complete regulatory approval mapping for European and international explosive gas and dust hazards, including Zone 1, Zone 2, Zone 21, and Zone 22 applications.
Optimized three-phase induction and Permanent Magnet (PM) synchronous motor architectures designed to lower energy consumption and operational footprint.
Broad catalog covering low, medium, and high voltage units, custom duty cycles (S1 to S9), variable frequency controls, and heavy industrial gear attachments.
Wolong's engineering prowess is anchored in global research hubs located across China, Europe, and Japan, with a leading-edge Central Research Institute based in Shanghai. Our research focus is dedicated to the integration of motor technologies with digital control systems.
Global R&D centers leverage multi-physics simulations to optimize motor performance and electromagnetic designs, keeping our systems at the forefront of the industry.
Integrating the technical heritage of Brook Crompton, Morley (mining), Laurence Scott, Schorch (refining & gas), ATB, and Nanyang Explosion Group (CNE).
Industry-certified flameproof (Ex d), increased safety (Ex e), non-sparking (Ex nA), and positive pressure (Ex p) designs certified for safety in global hazardous environments.
Brook Crompton Motors: A pioneer in energy-efficient designs, Brook Crompton has over a century of experience developing low, medium, and high-voltage AC motors. This includes the high-specification Brook Crompton "W" and "10" series, engineered to perform reliably in corrosive and hazardous environments.
ATB Group: Acquired by Wolong in 2011, this leading European motor group incorporates brands such as Laurence Scott (low starting current, nuclear, and naval defense grade designs) and Morley (nearly 130 years of history specializing in flameproof underground coal mining motors).
Schorch Motors: Established in 1882 in Germany, Schorch is a premium supplier of high-output drive solutions for oil and gas, petrochemicals, power generation, and steel processing industries.
Nanyang Explosion Group (CNE): China's largest scientific research and production base for explosion-proof motors. The Nanyang brand is essential to national and international petroleum, coal mining, and nuclear power infrastructure projects.
Our motors are engineered to meet demanding industrial environments. The components are optimized using multi-physics simulations, high-grade insulation systems, and precision dynamic balancing.
The stator windings use high-grade copper wire wrapped with polyester film and reinforced glass-cloth mica tape. Stator cores undergo Vacuum Pressure Impregnation (VPI) to eliminate voids, providing resistance to moisture, chemical exposure, thermal stress, and mechanical vibration.
Rotors feature cast-aluminum or copper-bar squirrel cage structures. Small and medium frames utilize centrifugal die-cast aluminum for consistent starting torque. Large-frame, high-output motors use copper bars welded to end rings to minimize loss and optimize efficiency during heavy-duty start cycles.
Constructed from heavy gray cast iron or fabricated structural steel, our motor frames are engineered to absorb vibration and withstand mechanical impacts. Multi-physics heat-dissipation simulations are used to design optimized cooling ribs, keeping motor temperature rise within Class B limits even when running under Class F thermal load.
Comprising an aerodynamic fan cover, air guide cylinder, protection windows, and integrated silencer plates. The side-entry air intake minimizes turbulence and air resistance, reducing acoustic signatures while maintaining high cooling airflow. Rated to IP22/IP55 to prevent accidental contact with moving parts.
Wolong's production infrastructure leverages Smart Factory 4.0 systems, which integrate robotic winding, automated VPI chambers, and CNC machining centers. This automation ensures component consistency and dimensional stability across production batches.
By sourcing raw materials—such as high-grade silicon steel laminations and ultra-pure copper—through long-term partnerships, Shaanxi Nanfang Motor stabilizes production timelines and insulates clients from global material price fluctuations.
Exporting industrial machinery requires strict compliance with international standards. Our electric motors are fully certified by global regulatory bodies, permitting seamless integration into international systems.

As industries aim for carbon neutrality and adopt digital monitoring, Wolong and Shaanxi Nanfang Motor are evolving their technology portfolios along two primary paths:
Transitioning motor catalogs to meet IE4 and IE5 efficiency standards. We are investing in Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motors (PMSM) and Synchronous Reluctance Motors (SynRM) to reduce energy loss by up to 30% compared to traditional induction motors.
Integrating vibration, temperature, and acoustic sensors directly into motor enclosures. Connected to our cloud analytics platforms, these smart sensors monitor health indicators in real-time, helping plant operators forecast maintenance needs and prevent unscheduled downtime.
Technical guidance and compliance advice for industrial motor procurement.
Flameproof, non-sparking, and process-critical heavy-duty drive systems.
