MGM supplier in Romania
Electric motors for special applications
Founded in 1947 · Headquarters: Serravalle Pistoiese (PT), Italy
Who is MGM and what does it make?
MGM Motori Elettrici is an Italian manufacturer that has specialised since 1947 in self-braking electric motors: motors with an integrated brake, used where the machine must stop precisely and quickly. From Serravalle Pistoiese, near Pistoia, the company covers both AC and DC brakes, plus a range of standard three-phase motors. For customers in Romania we can quote both the basic self-braking motors and the variants for marine or harsh environments.
The structure of the range is clear: the BA and BAX series have an AC brake, BM and BMX have a DC brake, while BMBM has a double braking unit and is very quiet, intended for stage (theatre) movements. For harsh environments (ships, salt-laden and humid atmospheres) there are the BAH and BAHX lines. The offer is completed by the SM/SMX series of standard three-phase asynchronous motors without a brake, and the R series, designed for inverter supply. Each motor goes through more than 35 quality checks before delivery, according to the manufacturer's documentation.
For installations in Romania (packaging lines, lifts, fast doors, automated warehouses), MGM means access to an Italian range specialised precisely in electromechanical braking, where a separate mechanical brake would complicate installation.
What do we supply from the MGM range?
| Product | Description |
|---|---|
| BA-BAX Series | Self-braking motors with an AC brake, designed for standard industrial applications, with fast response times and high braking capacity. |
| BM-BMX Series | Compact and quiet self-braking motors with a DC brake. |
| BAH-BAHX Series | Self-braking motor variants for marine and harsh environments, with additional protection against humidity and salt-laden atmospheres, for naval or exposed industrial installations. |
| SM-SMX Series | Standard three-phase asynchronous motors without an integrated brake, for general industrial applications where electrically controlled stopping is not needed. |

How do we supply MGM in Romania?
We bring in MGM motors made to order through supply channels in the EU; our confirmations are based on the manufacturer's technical documentation. Made to order, usually 1–4 weeks from order confirmation, depending on the series and frame size requested. For a quotation we need the desired series (BA, BM, BAH, SM or R), the power in kW, the supply voltage of the motor and, separately, of the brake, and the frame size. We do not promise warehouse availability for any series, and we do not confirm availability without a case-by-case check.
Warranty-period service and electronic configuration of the brake remain the responsibility of the MGM network.
Frequently asked questions about MGM
What products does MGM Motori Elettrici make?
MGM Motori Elettrici makes self-braking electric motors, with an integrated AC or DC brake, plus standard three-phase motors without a brake (SM/SMX) and a series dedicated to inverter supply (R). The company has specialised in motors with an integrated brake since 1947.
How do I choose between the BA series and the BM series from MGM Motori Elettrici?
The BA series uses an alternating current brake, with fast response times and high braking capacity, while the BM series uses a direct current brake, compact and quiet. The choice depends on the application requirements.
Which MGM series suits marine environments?
For ships and environments with humidity or a salt-laden atmosphere, MGM offers the BAH and BAHX series, variants of the standard self-braking motors with additional protection against corrosion and moisture.
What lead time do you offer in Romania for MGM motors?
We bring in MGM motors made to order through supply channels in the EU, usually within 1–4 weeks from order confirmation, depending on the series and the brake configuration requested.
What details should I send for a quotation for a self-braking motor?
Send the desired series, the power in kW, the motor voltage and the brake voltage separately, the frame size and, if the application is special, the type of operating environment (standard, humid or marine).
How do I request a MGM quotation?
Send the MGM code from the nameplate and the quantity; we reply in English with availability and the lead time written in the quotation.
