Motive supplier in Romania
industrial electric motors, mechanical gearboxes, inverters
Headquarters: Castenedolo, Italy
Who is Motive and what does it make?
Motive is an Italian power transmission manufacturer based in Castenedolo, in the province of Brescia, making three product categories on the same platform: electric motors, variable frequency drives and mechanical gearboxes. The three-phase motors are grouped in the DELPHI series (sizes 56-132 and 160-355) and DELFIRE (for ambient temperatures of up to 100 °C, in continuous duty S1), complemented by the MONO series for single-phase motors. For Romania we can quote motors, inverters and gearboxes from the standard range, plus ATEX/IECEx variants for explosive atmospheres.
What sets Motive apart is the integration of motor, inverter and gearbox under the same brand: the NEO and NANO inverter families have variants dedicated to fans (NEO/NANO-VENT), compressors (NEO/NANO-COMP), pumps (NEO-PUMP) and solar applications (NEO-SOLAR), plus WiFi connectivity (NEO-WiFi). The gearboxes cover coaxial (ROBUS-A, ROBUS-25-60), orthogonal (ENDURO), parallel-shaft and shaft-mounted (STON), worm (BOX) constructions and mechanical variable-speed drives (VARIO). The company also offers the DOCTOR 4.0 device for predictive maintenance, applicable to its own motors.
For integrators in Romania looking for a single supplier of motor, inverter and gearbox on the same project, Motive offers a range that includes these components, with ATEX/IECEx certified variants where the application requires it, avoiding the need to match components from different manufacturers.
What do we supply from the Motive range?
| Product | Description |
|---|---|
| DELPHI Three-Phase Motors | Three-phase asynchronous motors, in two frame size ranges (56-132 and 160-355), the main Motive motor range for standard industrial applications, also available in ATEX/IECEx design for explosive atmospheres. |
| DELFIRE Motors and the MONO Series | DELFIRE is a series of three-phase motors designed for ambient temperatures of up to 100 °C, in continuous duty S1 (for example in oven and dryer ventilation), in IEC sizes 71–250, while the MONO series covers single-phase motors, for equipment powered directly from the domestic or industrial single-phase supply. |
| NEO and NANO Inverters | A family of variable frequency drives with application-specific variants: NEO-WiFi (wireless connectivity), NEO/NANO-VENT (fans), NEO/NANO-COMP (compressors), NEO-PUMP (pumps) and NEO-SOLAR (photovoltaic applications), plus an ATEX variant for explosive atmospheres. |
| ROBUS, ENDURO, STON, BOX, VARIO Mechanical Gearboxes | Several gearbox families covering coaxial (ROBUS-A, ROBUS-25-60), orthogonal (ENDURO), parallel-shaft and shaft-mounted (STON), worm (BOX) constructions and mechanical variable-speed drives (VARIO), for direct coupling to motors from the same range. |
Why Motive?
- Motor-inverter-gearbox range under the same brand, useful on projects where compatibility between components matters
- Application-specific inverters — fans, compressors, pumps, solar — not just a generic inverter reprogrammed
- Several families of mechanical gearboxes (ROBUS, ENDURO, STON, BOX, VARIO), from coaxial construction to the mechanical variable-speed drive, covering most usual configurations
- ATEX variants for motors, inverters and gearboxes, plus IECEx on motors, for explosive atmospheres
- Own predictive maintenance device (DOCTOR 4.0), applicable directly to the motors in the range

How do we supply Motive in Romania?
For Motive we work from the manufacturer's technical documentation; we confirm exact availability in the quotation, as this is a brand we have not sold before. We bring in motors, inverters and gearboxes to order, through EU supply channels, usually within 1–4 weeks of confirmation of the configuration required. For a quotation, the customer must state whether they need a motor, an inverter, a gearbox or a complete set, the family wanted (DELPHI, NEO/NANO, ROBUS etc.) and, if the application requires it, ATEX/IECEx certification. We do not promise warehouse availability on any of the families — complete configurations are usually confirmed directly with the factory in Italy.
For each size in the gearbox families, we take the technical parameters (power, torque, reduction ratio) from the separate data sheets, which are not quoted in full here.
Frequently asked questions about Motive
What products does Motive make?
Motive makes three-phase and single-phase electric motors, variable frequency drives and mechanical gearboxes, under the same brand, for integrators who want a single supplier for the complete power transmission of a machine — motor, speed control and speed reduction.
How do I choose the right Motive inverter for a pump or a fan?
The manufacturer has application-specific variants: NEO-PUMP for pumps, NEO-VENT or NANO-VENT for fans, each with control parameters optimised for the specific load, unlike a generic inverter reprogrammed by hand for each application.
Which Motive gearbox suits a DELPHI motor?
It depends on the mechanical configuration wanted: ROBUS for coaxial mounting, ENDURO for orthogonal transmission, STON for parallel shafts or BOX for worm reduction. The right choice depends on the output shaft direction and the reduction ratio the application needs.
Do you supply Motive products in Romania, and how long does it take?
Yes, we bring in Motive motors, inverters and gearboxes to order, through EU supply channels, usually within 1–4 weeks of confirmation of the complete configuration requested by the customer. We do not keep these products on our own shelf.
How do I request a Motive quotation?
Send the Motive code from the nameplate and the quantity; we reply in English with availability and the lead time written in the quotation.
