Rizhao Oriental Motor Co.,Ltd. was established in 2013 and is a national high-tech enterprise. It operates two industrial production bases, located in Rizhao City, Shandong Province, and Taiyuan City, Shanxi Province. As one of the earliest domestic companies to specialize in large- and medium-sized low-speed, high-torque permanent‑magnet motors and their intelligent drive systems for industrial applications, the company integrates research and development, manufacturing, testing, sales, and service. With deep expertise in niche market segments, it has become a technology leader in China’s permanent‑magnet motor industry.
The company has assembled a team of experts in motor design, intelligent control, mechanical transmission, and engineering applications, all with extensive practical experience and strong innovative capabilities. It is equipped with a variety of specialized CNC machining centers, advanced testing equipment, and a state-of-the-art comprehensive test and evaluation center for the performance of permanent‑magnet motors.
The company has established a first‑class domestic R&D platform for mechatronic integration, encompassing industry, academia, and research. It houses an academician workstation, the Permanent‑Magnet Motor Application Technology Research Institute, the Shandong Provincial Engineering Laboratory for Permanent‑Magnet Motors, and has been recognized as a “specialized, refined, distinctive, and innovative” enterprise. In collaboration with the Institute of Electrical Engineering of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the company has set up a research and development base for low‑speed, high‑torque permanent‑magnet motor systems, capable of independently undertaking major national-level scientific research projects.
For more than a decade, the company has closely aligned its product development with market demands and users’ practical needs, forging a path of parallel advancement in both permanent‑magnet direct‑drive technology and integrated permanent‑magnet motor systems. It holds numerous national patents and proprietary technologies for permanent‑magnet motors and intelligent drive systems, and has participated in the drafting of six group standards for permanent‑magnet motors, thereby shaping the development trajectory of low‑speed, heavy‑load, high‑torque permanent‑magnet motors and their intelligent drive systems.
The company’s product portfolio spans a wide power range (11 kW to 5,800 kW) and an extensive speed range (5 r/min to 600 r/min), covering multiple voltage levels (380 V to 10 kV). It has achieved series‑based, standardized, modular, and large‑scale production, with broad applications across numerous industries, including cement and building materials, coal mining, port terminals, water conservancy projects, rubber and plastics processing, and iron and steel metallurgy. Notably, in the cement sector—roller presses, ball mills, and bucket elevators; in the coal industry—roadheaders, large belt conveyors, and scraper conveyors; and in the water‑conservation field—high‑pressure, high‑power, low‑speed pumps—as well as in ports—high‑ and low‑voltage belt conveyors, gantry cranes, and bucket‑wheel excavators—the company has delivered major breakthroughs in innovative permanent‑magnet motor drive technologies, yielding significant social and economic benefits.
SINCE 2013
Tracing the origins, as early as July 2012, the founding team—led by Chairman Zhang Kecheng and Vice Chairman Zhang Jianhua—had already conceived the idea of researching and developing a low-speed, high-torque permanent‑magnet intelligent drive system. They defined the company’s future market positioning and articulated the “Four‑Benefit Principle”—benefiting the nation, the people, the enterprise, and oneself—placing the miniaturization and modularity of permanent‑magnet motors at the heart of their R&D efforts. Beginning in October 2012, the team conducted field surveys and benchmarking across the country, laying the groundwork for the development of permanent‑magnet motors.
For more than a decade, under the leadership of its chairman, Rizhao Dongfang Electric Motor has advanced steadily and pragmatically, with every employee working diligently and building on solid foundations. Along this journey, there have been challenges and triumphs, an unwavering spirit of perseverance, and the courage to lead the way. Looking ahead, Rizhao Dongfang Electric Motor Co., Ltd. will align itself with national strategic priorities, uphold the goals of energy conservation, emissions reduction, and green, circular development, and remain committed to the dual‑pronged approach of technological innovation and process excellence. We will serve our customers, give back to society, embrace innovation as our guiding principle, and contribute to the nation through practical industry, working together with you to create a brighter future.
