Especially on the industrial automation front, when space is limited but high torque and dynamics are required, the maxon EC-i 52XL motor with its extended […]
New compact EPOS programmable smart drive/controller from maxon with EtherCAT
With the EPOS4 Compact 50/8 EtherCAT and EPOS4 Compact 50/15 EtherCAT, maxon launches the first compact devices compatible with the fast industrial Ethernet connection EtherCAT. The fully integrated, plug-and-play positioning controller in a compact design is perfectly suited for use in networks with cycle times up to 1 msec. The EPOS is a digital positioning […]
Miniature servo controller from maxon survives extreme conditions
The Swiss drive specialist maxon motor is expanding its range of miniature servo controllers by adding the ESCON Module 50/8 HE (Harsh Environment). This compact plug-in module with a nominal current of 8 A is a true powerhouse, designed for brushed and brushless DC motors with a peak power of up to 750 W. However, […]
High-torque EC brushless dc motors from maxon
The EC-i 52-mm motor is one from a family of EC brushless dc motors from maxon. It’s an iron-wound internal rotor motor redesigned from 7 pole pairs to 8 pole pairs. This significantly reduces the vibration and noise output of the dc motor. Available in three voltage outputs, 18, 24 and 48 V, the 52-mm […]
maxon motor introduces first sterilizable drive system (motor, gearhead, and ENX EASY encoder)
maxon motor’s new ENX EASY encoder is a sterilizable encoder for use with maxon’s brushless DC motors. This opens up a range of new possibilities in medical technology. This is the world’s first steam sterilizable encoder ENX EASY. It is available in an incremental (1,024 counts) and absolute version (4096 steps), both designed for 1,000 autoclave cycles. […]
New issue of driven magazine from maxon motor reveals where electric drives are commonly used
Precision drive systems can be found in the home, in vehicles, and at work, making our lives simpler and safer. The current issue of driven, the maxon motor magazine, provides interesting insights into the world of drive technology. It also goes in search of an old friend. Most people have nothing to do with drive […]
Application story: Smart motors from maxon make high-tech e-bikes
Use of electric bikes or e-bikes — those with power-assist and full drive capabilities — is exploding in Europe and now the Americas as more people than ever look for green modes of transportation in increasingly dense urban centers. Recently introduced to the world market, maxon motor makes an integrated drive (sometimes called a hub […]
Engineer Biren Patel exposes why the industry needs new positioning controllers
In a recent interview, we had the chance to chat with Biren Patel, motion control engineering manager at maxon motor, about the company’s new EPOS4 next-generation positioning controllers. This is a controller with two different power ratings and connector board to allow quick integration into machinery. The position controllers are suitable for dynamic control of […]
