Makita began over 85 years ago as a manufacturer of electric motors. In 1958, they introduced their first electric tool. Today Makita is one of the world’s largest power tool manufacturers.
Makita’s quality starts with the heart of the power tool: the electric motor. The first building block in manufacturing durable, efficient motors is the choice of raw materials. Makita selects only the highest quality raw materials for its motor components.
Outstanding raw materials are used to produce armature shafts and gears, and graded to the highest industry standards. High-grade magnetic copper wire (97% pure copper) is selected for its superior current flow and for its ability to withstand extreme temperatures. Finally, they are made with premium-grade magnetic steel, which ensures efficient current flow and higher output of power.
The armature is the first building block in assembling the motor. All Makita armatures are dynamically balanced to twice the industry standard, giving Makita the finest balanced motor armature available to ensure long life with less vibration.
The field core is made from the highest quality magnetic steel available and is stamped and laminated into a tight and uniform core. The tight tolerances in the field core deliver the most efficient energy transfer and the most output power.
Makita uses the most stringent manufacturing processes and quality control in the industry assuring every tool meets professional standards. These processes include:
19 total quality checks on the motor alone
Heat treated shafts and gears for extreme durability
Tight tolerances for long lasting, unsurpassed performance
Most rigorous testing to include:
Electrical Resistance
Surge Durability
Mechanical Efficiency
3 minute final run test under power ensures maximum performance
Makita designs and manufactures innovative cordless tools. Their goal in designing any cordless tool is to allow all the convenience cordless offers without sacrificing the power or efficiency of a corded tool.
