Used Oswald Plant Support Equipment for Sale

Oswald Elektromotoren GmbH was founded in 1909 in Miltenberg, Bavaria, Germany, and has remained a privately held, family-owned business through four generations. With over 115 years of continuous commitment to electrical engineering, the company has grown into a recognized high-tech manufacturer employing roughly 200 people, holding ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and ISO 50001 certifications, and subjecting every motor to 100-percent end-of-line inspection before shipment.

Oswald's core product lines center on customized electric motors and generators engineered to precise customer specifications for both electrical and mechanical design. The flagship AC induction motor ranges — the water-cooled FQD series and the air-cooled QD series — cover outputs from 10 kW to 3,000 kW and are built for wide speed ranges, extended field-weakening operation, and high dynamic performance. The liquid-cooled MF compact synchronous motor series and the highly dynamic MFS synchronous series use NdFeB permanent magnets for extremely low rotor losses and high power density in a small frame. For direct-drive applications requiring very high torque at low speed, the TF torque motor series delivers rated torques from 100 Nm up to 1,000,000 Nm. The LP cylindrical linear motor series rounds out the portfolio for linear-motion applications.

Oswald motors serve a broad range of demanding end markets. Plastics machinery builders — including major injection molding machine manufacturers — rely on Oswald AC and PM motors for precise, energy-efficient drive systems. The semiconductor and solar industries use Oswald direct drives in precision surfacing and wafer-cutting equipment. Additional end markets include general mechanical engineering, crane and port handling systems, industrial mixing and grinding machinery, marine propulsion, and electric mobility applications such as heavy-duty mining vehicles.

Buyers seeking used Oswald AC motors on the secondary market are drawn primarily to the brand's reputation for compact robustness, high power density, and low maintenance requirements. The motors are built to exacting German engineering standards with long service lives, and replacement parts remain available through the manufacturer's service department, which offers around-the-clock support. The combination of strong resale value, proven energy efficiency — Oswald has been recognized with the German Environmental Prize for its sustainability achievements — and the ability to re-integrate these motors into variable-frequency drive systems makes used Oswald equipment a cost-effective choice for plant engineers and machine rebuilders alike.
