High-Torque, Low-Speed Drive Systems That Replace Hydraulics
Swap the hydraulic ram for a sealed electric drive with more rotation and nothing to service — tested to 10,000 Nm before failure. Tell us your torque, speed and duty cycle, and we'll spec the drivetrain for you.
Components for high-torque, low-speed applications
At Powered Motion we specialise in manufacturing high-quality components for businesses working in high-torque, low-speed applications. From excavators to ute-back cranes, we supply equipment manufacturers worldwide — and take on one-off private builds too.

One source for the whole electric drivetrain
RG600 Reduction Gearbox
Proprietary, patent-pending high-torque reduction gearbox rated to 6,000 Nm — a maintenance-free electric replacement for hydraulic rams and knuckles.
View specifications48V BLDC Motors
1 kW, 2 kW and 3 kW 48V brushless DC motors, plus custom builds, engineered to drive the RG600 and electrify low-speed equipment.
View specificationsControllers & Software
Integrated motor controllers with position feedback, a primary controller for up to 20 motors, an input controller and a GPS/Lidar add-on.

Different voltage, torque band, shaft, mounting or control logic — because the gearboxes, motors and software are designed in-house, we can re-engineer them to your machine, from a one-off build to a production run.

Engineered to move you off hydraulics
Proprietary, patent-pending engineering
Our reduction gearboxes and drive electronics are designed in-house, not re-badged — the RG600's multi-stage design is patent pending in Australia. We match torque, ratio and interface to your machine instead of forcing your machine to fit an off-the-shelf part.
Built to replace hydraulics
Going hydraulic-less is not just cheaper — it increases the machine's capacity. Expect greater degrees of rotation and a maintenance-free knuckle: no more bushes, grease or slop.
A complete drive package
Take the gearbox on its own, or pair it with our BLDC motors, motor controllers and software so the transition from a hydraulic ram to a pure-electric joint is as smooth as possible.
Expert advisory team
We supply equipment manufacturers worldwide across excavators, ute-back cranes and more — and we help you spec the right combination for your duty cycle and application.
Driving E-XD's electric platform machines
Equipment maker E-XD builds its all-electric platform range on Powered Motion drivetrains — RG600 gearboxes, BLDC motors and our control stack — including the Cyber Clydesdale, the world's first 2-wheel electric skid-steer platform.
Every joint that would traditionally run a hydraulic ram runs a Powered Motion drive instead: real machines, real loads, no hydraulic circuit.
Swap the ram, keep the job moving
The thought of moving away from tried-and-tested hydraulic systems is often overwhelming. The RG600 is built to drop into any 6,000 Nm application you would normally reach for a hydraulic ram to handle — and you can buy the motor, controller and software alongside it, so the whole drivetrain arrives matched and ready to fit.

Frequently asked questions
What is the maximum torque capacity of the RG600?
The RG600 is rated to 6,000 Nm of continuous output torque and can be configured up to 8,000 Nm. In testing, units hold up to 10,000 Nm of torque before failure.
Do you sell to private buyers?
Yes. We are primarily a B2B manufacturer supplying equipment makers, but we also do one-off sales to independent buyers. Contact us with your requirements for a quote.
Where is the best place to buy one?
Check our distributors page, or contact us directly. For custom or high-volume manufacturer supply, get in touch and we will spec a solution.
Can the components be customised to my application?
Yes. We customise motors, gearing and control software to your specific application — different voltages, torque bands, shafts, mountings and control logic — from a single custom build to a full drive package integrated into your equipment.
What do you need from me to get a quote?
Five things, no drawings required: your application, required output torque and speed, duty cycle, available supply voltage, and quantity. Send those and we'll come back with a recommended configuration and pricing.
Do I have to buy the complete drive package?
No. The RG600 gearbox works on its own. The motor, motor controller and software are available alongside it if you want a matched, pre-integrated drivetrain from one supplier.
