Whatever Happened to the Pacific Scientific PacSci Brand Motors?
All those permanent magnet DC motors, synchronous motors, servo motors, servo drives, stepper drives, oh yeah, and remember the great stepper motors they offered? The one stepper motor was a weird shape. It was octagonal where others are square or round. Hard to forget that one!
Good news! Kollmorgen recognized the great products Pacific Scientific offered and acquired them 15+ years ago. Up until November 2011 Kollmorgen maintained the Pacific Scientific branding and even after the acquisition, developed a few products that were branded Pacific Scientific. In November 2011 Kollmorgen announced that Danaher Corporation divested from the Pacific Scientific Aerospace business, which operated as a totally separate business from the Kollmorgen business. Included was the sale of the Pacific Scientific brand name and logo. As a result Kollmorgen removed all the Pacific Scientific branding and replaced it with Kollmorgen branding.
Many motor and drive families, formerly branded Pacific Scientific, are still available but are now branded Kollmorgen
