starting from an actuation & motion TAM of about ~$4bn. The bridge from Industrial Revolution

TAM to SOM reflects real-world frictions: content potential varies by

platform, competition is intense, and OEMs can in-source parts of the stack. Robotics: The New Engine of the U.S.

The key upside case is straightforward: a single OEM awarding a full-stack

actuation & motion content win could plausibly scale to ~$500M by 2030E on

its own, even without addiitional customer wins.

• Actuation Architecture Is Destiny: OEM design choices (rotary vs. linear

mixes, reducer types, integration depth) can dramatically change content per

unit and who captures it. Across the actuation & motion content stack, our three

names sit in different “lanes,” which translates into materially different content

win potential as platforms scale. We view Timken as best positioned across the

total value chain due to what we see as the broadest supply capability, followed

by Regal Rexnord and then Allient, each benefiting from different strengths

depending on how an OEM engineers its motion stack.
