Actionpaq Corporation

Actionpaq Corporation

S-4378

Actionpaq manufactures Direct Drive Rotary Motion (DDRM) technology, a gearbox-free alternative to traditional AC motor systems for factory equipment. By connecting the motor directly to the machine load, DDRM eliminates gearboxes, oil, couplings, and other wear-prone components, reducing energy loss between motor and load. The direct-drive design allows motors to be sized precisely for the application rather than oversized to compensate for mechanical losses. With fewer moving parts, the system requires less maintenance, avoiding oil changes, seal replacements, and component rebuilds — resulting in equipment with a longer service life and reduced parts waste.
