Drives for safety systems

An eye on safety and costs.

Locking systems or surveillance cameras require solutions which are not only high quality, but also cost effective. With the modular maxon product portfolio, we always find an optimal solution without compromising on quality and performance. 

Drive systems

Everything from a single source.

maxon drives are the optimal solution for safety doors, locking systems, surveillance cameras, and mobile inspection systems.

Reliable and robust

Insensitive to differences in temperature or shocks

Long service life

Fast and precise positioning

High power density in the smallest of spaces

Low noise

We push our drives to their limits.

Drive systems from maxon can withstand a lot: high vibrations, extreme temperatures from -100 °C to +200 °C, and brutal stresses. We have our own in-house development laboratory with a vacuum chamber, a variety of climate-temperature systems, and a mechanical impact tester, which can generate extreme g-values of up to 2500 g. In addition, the service life of more than a thousand motors is tested in our endurance test chamber, where drives run for more than 20 000 hours.

Our product recommendations.

Space is always tight in locking systems. Our very small, but nevertheless powerful drives offer the ideal solution here.

maxon motors for better door security.

Around 5.5 million burglaries are committed worldwide every year – more than ten per minute on average. Using secure doors significantly reduces the risk of a house being broken into. The Spanish company Ruiz López manufactures high-security door systems that make any door burglar-proof. The company relies on motors by maxon for locking and unlocking the security system.

Elevatorsmaxon Inside

The invisible door opener.

The elevator manufacturer Schindler transports more than a billion people every day. Its elevators operate in skyscrapers and apartment buildings, traveling up and down all day long. Yet no one ever actually stops to think about the little motors that open and close the doors.

Frequently asked questions

  • How does maxon ensure that the data given in the catalog will be achieved?

    The development process for every product includes validation of the motor or gearhead data. In our in-house laboratory, new products undergo extensive testing. This is how we ensure that the electrical and mechanical specifications will be met. 

  • Can maxon simulate the thermal behavior at a specific operating point or in a specific cycle?

    Yes, we can determine the behavior for each motor with simulations or calculations.

  • Does maxon produce custom controllers in addition to the catalog range?

    Yes. maxon has a large team of development engineers working on controllers. We have all the necessary know-how from design to prototyping in-house, and therefore are able to respond flexibly to special customer requirements.

  • Is there a minimum order quantity for configurable motors or gearheads?

    No, configurable products or products with standard modifications from the maxon catalog can be ordered in any quantity. For more complex configurations, the minimum order quantity is three units.
