Never before has it been this simple to put together a customised, high-end drive–either at work or at home: with maxon motor’s online configurator. A variety of brushless, high-speed motors and gearheads are now available.

Sometimes customers have to choose the right DC motor quickly–for example when constructing a prototype, or if a product is scheduled for a swift market launch. In cases like this, engineers resort to maxon motor’s online configurator. The platform has tens of thousands of drive options to choose from, all of which are available quickly and easily. Brushed and brushless DC motors with diameters of 8 to 35 millimeters form the basis of the offering, with maxon recently significantly expanding its range of ECX drives.

As a result, ECX SPEED drives are now available in a variety of sizes, both in the high-power or sterilisable versions and also with the option of ceramic bearings. Additionally on offer are suitable planetary gearheads (GPX SPEED) which, as a sealed design, tolerate 2,000 autoclave cycles.

Ready for delivery in only 11 days

All of the drive’s interfaces can be adapted at will in the online configurator: shafts, flanges, electrical connections, etc. This gives users a whole new range of possibilities. Customers’ ideal drive – including gearheads and encoder – can be configured and ordered in only a few minutes. The electronic data goes directly to maxon motor’s production facilities, where the drives are put together in automated processes. Orders will leave the factory in Switzerland no later than eleven working days after it was placed.
