About Jiangnan Yifan Motor
Jiangnan Yifan Motor develops customised geared motors, servomotors and drive controls from Wuxi. The company's established business serves switchgear, conveyors, barriers, vehicles and solar equipment, while its robotics range adapts the same motor, gearbox and control capabilities to mobile platforms, manipulators and compact end effectors.
Robot products include integrated servo wheel motors for AGV and AMR chassis, brushless geared actuators for arm joints and small coreless or brushless motors for dexterous hands. Yifan configures voltage, torque, speed, reduction and packaging around the customer's mechanism rather than supplying one complete robot. It was founded in 1993 and has been listed in Shenzhen since 2021, giving the newer robotics work an existing manufacturing base.
