Industrial Motors / Controls & Hydraulics

Powder metallurgy (PM) often enables the development of components that may not be producible through other metal-forming technologies. While processes such as metal injection molding (MIM) often allow for delicate-looking parts, PM produced strong, durable, and reliable parts, which is why PM can be found in industrial motors, controls, and hydraulics.

The case studies below are a collection of award-winning parts submitted to the Metal Powder Industries Federation’s annual PM Design Excellence Awards competition in the Industrial Motors, Controls & Hydraulics category.
