Mechatronic drive systems

Reinventing drives? It is our pleasure.

From concept to final product: We develop project-specific drive solutions. In accordance with individual specifications and with perfectly matched components. Can be manufactured combined as a mechatronic unit in a housing and in series. 

Brushed DC motors

The perfect combination of technology and power.

Our brushed DC motors are equipped with powerful permanent magnets and the globally patented ironless rotor. The modular DCX and DC-max programs can be individually configured in accordance with customer specifications.

Sensors

Strong pulses.

Interference-free, high-precision performance even at high loads: We offer precise digital encoders, DC tachometers, and resolvers with a high degree of accuracy and high signal resolution. These devices have to be fitted to the motors at the supplying factory, as the installation process is fine-tuned to the corresponding motor.

Motor & motion control

Smart control electronics.

maxon controllers and multi-axis controllers allow for accurate coordination even with complex motion sequences. All current, speed, and positioning controllers are specifically designed for DC and EC motors with up to 1000 W. CANopen or EtherCAT enable fast networking and the controllers meet the highest requirements with regard to power and precision.

Cables, software & brakes

Perfect down to the smallest detail.

Brakes. Connection cables. Front plates. Motor chokes. Adapters. Shunt regulators. As well as the right software – when we think of drive technology, we think of the complete solution. When developing our drive systems, we pay attention to every last detail and provide all key components from a single source. 

Industrial ceramics

A unique material.

High-performance industrial ceramic components are extremely wear resistant, hard, and temperature resistant. They are used in areas where conventional materials have failed. maxon develops and manufactures ceramic precision spindles, axles, and shafts as well as complex customer-specific components.

AC motors

Top quality from Parvalux.

Since 2018, Parvalux Electric Motors Ltd has been part of the maxon Group. AC electric motors from Parvalux for the performance range from 8 W to 1 kW are available as one-phase or three-phase units. They are supplied in aluminum housings as standalone motors or motor-gearhead units. Parvalux motors are exclusively available at maxon.
