maxon motor, the renowned manufacturer of precision drives and systems, is expanding its product range. The EPOS4 positioning controller is one of the latest products developd by maxon's R&D department. It is based on the existing EPOS series and offers impressive power density. The modular controllers are designed for controlling DC brushed and brushless motors with Hall sensors and encoders with up to 750 W of continuous power and 1500 W of peak power. The intuitive graphical user interface makes it easy even for non-experts to configure the systems.

maxon has also expanded its range of configurable brushless DC motors which offer impressively high speeds. These ECX motors were presented for the first time in the fall of last year. Now, the more models have been added to the series, like the ECX Speed 22 High Power. This drive is not only fast (up to 60,000 rpm) but also quite powerful (35 mNm).

Gearheads for high power transmission

In addition, maxon has introduced several new planetary gearheads, which are designed for high speeds and may also be sterilized. The new GPX High Power gears have been developed for transmitting large forces and are available in diameters between 12 and 32 millimeters.
