The status quo is unaffordable for small U.S. motor builders.

Sourcing custom stator laminations means committing to a $100,000+ die, waiting 20 or more weeks for production, and importing the output through a Chinese supply chain. For sub-million-unit motor programs, the economics don't work. For DoD-supply programs, the geography doesn't work either.

Lineup · 2026

The first-launch stator catalog.

Six SKUs covering outer-rotor BLDC motors from micro / FPV propulsion through quasi-direct-drive humanoid actuators. Pre-launch customer LOIs prioritize which ships first.

Stakes

Supply-chain resilience for the U.S. motor industry.

American Stator is positioned for U.S. drone OEMs on the Blue UAS list, robotics actuator companies onshoring their bills of material, and defense primes facing tightening ITAR and Buy American requirements. The product reduces TCO and unlocks programs that current sole-source overseas tooling makes infeasible.

For — drone
Blue UAS operators
Onshoring propulsion components to meet DoD domestic-supply requirements.
For — robotics
Actuator builders
QDD humanoid actuators replacing imported stator stacks in their BOMs.
For — defense
Programs of record
Loitering-munition, ground-actuator, and propulsion-system programs working a domestic-supply mandate.
