ASI Technologies

What ASI Technologies does

ASI Technologies, Inc. (operating as ASI Drives) is a US-based manufacturer of custom-engineered gear drives, headquartered and produced at a single Montgomeryville, Pennsylvania facility. Founded in 1980 and operating today as a subsidiary of the diversified group Groupe Accedia, the company designs, engineers, and assembles all of its products domestically. ASI pioneered the fully enclosed transaxle architecture and is positioned as a niche specialist in drive systems for battery-powered vehicles and equipment weighing less than one ton.

The product portfolio centers on two platform families: transaxles (the Mark 400 medium-duty, Mark 500 heavy-duty single-stage, and Mark 600 heavy-duty two-stage) and wheel drives (the Storm 300 compact planetary brushless drive and the Cyclone 150 steerable drive). Supporting products include right angle drives, geared scrub brush motors, the TD-Series Tornado Drives for lifts and elevators, and fully custom engineered solutions. Technical differentiators cited include single-piece casting for improved gear alignment and quiet operation, IP67 sealing on the Storm 300, dual encoders for ISO 13849-1 functional safety on robotic drives, and a broad configurability space across motors (PMDC and BLDC), reduction ratios, mounting widths, and brake options.

ASI generates revenue through direct, quote-based sales of custom-engineered drive systems to OEM customers who integrate them into their own vehicles and equipment. Its served verticals include floor care equipment, mobile robots and AGVs, material handling, medical mobility, outdoor power equipment, stair lifts, and lifts and elevators. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is structured as multi-year OEM contracts. GTM is sales-led, supported by website product configurators (Mark 400 and Mark 600), technical white papers, and industry-specific landing pages, with sales contactable at (215) 661-1002 and [email protected] and committing to respond to inquiries within 24 hours. Distribution is global via direct OEM relationships, though no international offices are disclosed.

Core offering

ASI Technologies designs, engineers, and assembles custom-engineered gear drives — including fully enclosed transaxles, wheel drives, right angle drives, and geared scrub brush motors — for OEM integration into battery-powered vehicles and equipment weighing less than one ton. Products are configured with multiple motor (PMDC, BLDC), ratio, mounting, and brake options to meet specific application requirements.

Product overview

ASI Technologies (ASI Drives) is a manufacturer of custom-engineered gear drives that designs, engineers, and assembles all products at their Montgomeryville, PA facility. Their product portfolio centers on two main product lines: transaxles (MARK 400, MARK 500, MARK 600) and wheel drives (STORM 300, CYCLONE 150), supplemented by right angle drives, geared scrub brush motors, and fully custom products. The MARK series transaxles represent their core offering—the industry-standard fully enclosed transaxle that ASI pioneered—available in medium duty (MARK 400) and heavy duty configurations (MARK 500 single-stage, MARK 600 two-stage). Their wheel drives include the compact STORM 300 brushless planetary drive and the CYCLONE 150 steerable drive. All products are designed for battery-powered vehicles, equipment, and machines weighing less than one ton, serving OEMs across floor care, mobile robotics, material handling, medical mobility, outdoor power equipment, stair lifts, and elevator industries.

Direct peers

• Cone Drive (Timken): Cone Drive, part of Timken, specializes in precision gear drives including right-angle and planetary units used in mobile platforms, robotics, and industrial equipment—directly comparable to ASI's right-angle drives and custom engineered gearboxes for OEM integration.
• Allied Motion Technologies: Allied Motion designs and manufactures precision motion components including gear motors, wheel drives, and integrated drivetrains for industrial, vehicle, and robotics applications—directly comparable to ASI's transaxle and wheel-drive portfolio serving OEMs of battery-powered equipment.
• Bonfiglioli: Bonfiglioli designs gear drives, planetary gearboxes, and electric drive solutions for material handling, AGVs, mobile equipment, and light mobility—a near-direct analog to ASI's niche of integrated drive systems for sub-one-ton battery-powered vehicles and industrial machinery.
• Nord Drivesystems: Nord produces modular gear motors, right-angle drives, and wash-down-rated drive electronics for AGVs, conveyors, and food/beverage floor-care equipment. Its product modularity and customization model parallel ASI's configurable transaxle and right-angle offerings.
• Dunkermotoren (AMETEK): Dunkermotoren produces compact brushless DC motors integrated with planetary gearboxes and encoders for AGVs, medical devices, and industrial automation—closely mirroring ASI's BLDC planetary wheel-drive and brushless motor offerings for mobile robotics and OEM customers.
• Wittenstein: Wittenstein manufactures precision planetary gearboxes, servo gearheads, and drive systems used in robotics, medical mobility, and light electric vehicles. Its low-backlash planetary architecture overlaps directly with ASI's STORM planetary wheel drive and custom engineered gearboxes.

Emerging players

• Colson Group (Rollock / caster): Colson supplies wheels, casters, and mobility components for material handling, medical, and floor-care OEMs—an adjacent peer serving many of the same end-product categories that integrate ASI transaxles and wheel drives.
• Hytron (HDS / Linak-aligned mobility components): Maxon manufactures high-precision DC and BLDC motors, gearheads, and drive systems for medical mobility, robotics, and light-electric applications. Its DC/BLDC planetary offerings overlap with ASI's PMDC and BLDC motor portfolio for medical and AGV customers.
• Bimba (Timken): Bimba, now part of Timken, makes pneumatic and electric linear actuators, gearheads, and motion components for OEMs in industrial automation and mobility—adjacent to ASI's integrated drive systems and serving overlapping customer verticals.

Broad incumbents

• SEW-Eurodrive: SEW-Eurodrive is a broad industrial incumbent offering gear motors, drive electronics, and decentralized drives for material handling, automotive, and AGV applications—overlapping with ASI's product categories but at much larger scale and broader portfolio scope.
