maxon motor GmbH
About us
High-precision micro drives since 1961
At maxon, we develop and build electric drives that pack some real power. Our DC motors are leading the industry worldwide.
They are used wherever the requirements are high and engineers cannot afford compromises: maxon electric motors drive NASA's Mars rovers. They are installed in insulin pumps and surgical power tools. You can find them in humanoid robots and in high-precision industrial applications, in tattoo machines, passenger aircraft, camera lenses, race cars, and cardiac pumps.
For more than 60 years, we have focused on customer-specific solutions, quality, and innovation. As a result, our modular product range has constantly been expanded and now includes:
• Brushless and brushed DC motors
• Brushless flat motors
• Planetary gearheads, spur gearheads, special gearheads
• Sensors
• Servo amplifiers, positioning controllers
• High-tech CIM and MIM components
Products & services
HEJ90
High-performance robot drives: Perfect solutions for modern robotics. Robots assemble devices, explore space, and perform surgeries on humans. These human-like movements and behaviors are made possible by powerful and highly precise drives. maxon develops and manufactures custom components for autonomous mobile and industrial robots, such as humanoid, quadrupedal, or collaborative robots, as well as agricultural and service robots.
EC framless
Brushless DC motors from maxon offer longer service life and higher speeds than brushed DC motors. They are also maintenance-free, making them ideal for use in fit-and-forget applications
IDX70
The high‑dynamic, powerful drive package: a brushless maxon BLDC motor combined with an EPOS4 positioning controller and gearbox in a high‑quality industrial housing
MiniMACS6 AMP 4IF1
The art of precise synchronization. With the high-performance programmable maxon multi-axis controllers, multiple axes can be precisely synchronized and positioned, and limited travel profiles or cam profiles can be followed.
GSW20_30_40
Positioned. This type of gearbox is frequently used in applications requiring precise motion control and high torque transmission in confined spaces. Thanks to their unique gear technology, maxon wave gearboxes offer high efficiency and good reverse rotation. Typical applications include robotics, aerospace, medical technology, and optical systems.
