With plenty of experience in the industry
DC Traction Motors Design and Manufacture
If your rolling stock runs on DC traction motors, you need a partner who knows how to keep them running. At Mawdsleys, we design and manufacture high-performance DC traction motors for the rail and naval industries—with the speed, precision, and reliability that operators demand. Whether you're maintaining heritage fleets or specifying motors for new applications, we build to your exact requirements.
We don’t hope it works. We prove it does.
Our secret? We don’t guess. We engineer. Using industry-leading design software like Ansys and MotorCAD, we simulate real-world conditions before a single part is produced. The result? Motors that are not only durable and efficient—but purpose-built to survive years of heat, vibration, and heavy-duty cycles without compromise. Our experience in DC traction motor manufacturing is another reassurance for your success.
Built in-house. Backed for the Long Haul.
And we don’t outsource your peace of mind. All traction motor design and manufacturing happens in-house, at our Bristol facility. That gives you faster turnaround, complete quality control, and one number to call from start to sign-off. If your existing traction motors are obsolete, we can reverse-engineer them from the ground up—keeping your fleet on the tracks and your maintenance team off the ropes.
