Motion control without limits.

Performance Motion Devices, Inc. (PMD) was founded in 1992 on a simple but powerful idea: Engineers should be free to develop without limitations.

Products aren't truly solutions if they restrict creativity and innovation.
Machine designers want open, flexible, and portable solutions.
Our mission is to build intelligent motion control building blocks that deliver the flexibility, transparency, and customizability that engineers want.

PMD is a world leader in motion control technology for life sciences, robotics, medical devices, semiconductor equipment, and industrial automation. We provide a broad range of advanced motion control products including integrated circuits, modules, and boards to a worldwide customer base.
