The Right Motor

Wondering which clipper motor is best? The question that barbers and stylists should be asking instead is which motor will suit your cutting needs - Magnetic, Pivot or Rotary. Andis tools utilize expertly developed motor technology designed to complement the application, ensuring maximum performance for professional use in barber shops and salons. 
 

Magnetic Motors
Reliable Power & High Blade Speed
Magnetic motors run at high speeds resulting in smooth cuts. Light textures of hair will feed and cut well with magnetic motor clippers. Less moving parts make these simple, reliable and the longest lasting of all the motors. Maintenance-free design with no internal oiling required.

Examples: 
• Andis Envy Adjustable Blade Clipper
• Andis Master Adjustable Blade Clipper 
• Andis Beauty Master + Adjustable Blade Clipper 


Pivot Motors
High Power & Lower Blade Speed
Pivot motors have a lower blade speed than magnetic motors but are twice as powerful. Higher cutting power makes them ideal for cutting thick or heavy hair. They are whisper quiet, cool running and long lasting. Maintenance-free design with no internal oiling required.

Examples: 
• Andis Pivot Motor Combo

Rotary Motors
High Power & High Blade Speed
Rotary motors have an equal amount of power and blade speed. They are also the only motor available with multiple speeds. Their balance between power, speed, size and weight makes them extremely versatile and perfect for heavy-duty cutting. Maintenance-free design with no internal oiling required.

Examples: 
• Andis Cordless Envy Li Andis Nation Adjustable Blade Clipper 
• Andis Cordless Envy Li Adjustable Blade Clipper
