At OnDrive Inc., we provide dependable explosion-proof motors and ex-proof motor units built to keep your operations safe. These motors are built to stop sparks or heat from causing fires in hazardous areas, making them a smart choice for high-risk environments.

From oil refineries and paint booths to grain silos and chemical plants, our explosion-proof motors are trusted by industries where safety can’t be compromised. All our products meet key national and international safety standards, ensuring peace of mind.

Why Explosion-Proof Motors Matter?

In workplaces where flammable gases, dust, or fumes are present, regular motors can pose serious risks. Explosion-proof electric motors are specially built with protective casings to contain any sparks or heat inside the motor.

Industries that benefit include:

Chemical manufacturing
Food and grain processing
Petroleum and gas handling
Pharmaceutical and biotech production
Tested for consistent performance and durability

Our team will help you choose a motor that fits your mechanical and regulatory needs.

Safe and Controlled with Explosion-Proof Drive Systems

We also offer explosion-proof drives and explosion-proof VFD packages for precise speed control while still meeting safety standards. These packages are designed for high-risk zones, providing precision control without compromising protection.

You can rely on our engineering team for system matching, startup, and integration assistance.

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s the purpose of an explosion-proof motor?

An explosion-proof motor contains sparks or heat so that they don’t ignite flammable substances in the surrounding area.

Are these the same as ex proof motor types?

Yes. “Ex-proof motor” is another term for an explosion-rated motor, often used in global regulatory frameworks.

Where do I need an explosion-proof electric motor?

If your facility handles flammable dust, gases, or vapors, like in Class I or II hazardous zones, you’ll likely need an explosion-proof electric motor.

Do you provide explosion-proof VFD packages?

Yes. Our explosion-proof drive units and explosion-proof VFD options are built to complement the motors we supply.

What if I’m unsure of my classification?

No problem — reach out to us. Our experts can help you figure it out and recommend the best options for your needs.
