Data Center Power & Actuation Motors

Modern data centers rely on a hidden layer of mechanical power systems that keep critical infrastructure operating smoothly behind the scenes. Gearmotors and DC actuation motors provide the controlled torque and precise movement required to drive the mechanisms that support power distribution, thermal management, and facility automation.

Bison® Gear Motors
and Prestolite PMDC and wound‑field motors deliver the durability, torque density, and configurable performance required to support these continuous, motion‑critical functions across modern data‑center environments.

Optimize Your Data‑Center System Designs with Reliable Mechanical Actuation


Powerstar Right Angle & Offset Parallel Shaft Gearmotors
Deliver the controlled torque needed to operate switchgear mechanisms, mechanical interlocks, and other precision actuation functions across data‑center power infrastructure.

Prestolite PMDC & Wound‑Field Motors
Provide high‑power, high‑torque motion for heavier actuation tasks where strong, reliable motor output is needed without fine‑position gearing. 

Typical Data Center Applications:
  • Drive dielectric‑liquid cooling systems
  • Operate switchgear breakers
  • Control distribution reclosers
  • Actuate ATS transfer mechanisms
  • Lift louvers and dampers
  • Move ventilation shutters and doors
  • Drive interlocks and positioners in electrical cabinets
