«Working with maxon was the obvious thing to do – it was the safe choice.»

High torque density and unrivaled dynamics: With an iron core winding and the multi-pole rotor design, the brushless ECX TORQUE motors achieve a high torque density.

Multi-pole internal motor with high torque

The brushless EC-i motors, featuring iron-core windings, an optimized magnetic circuit, and a multipole internal rotor, deliver exceptional dynamics and high torque density while maintaining very low cogging torque. Their robust design, with aluminum or steel flange and housing options, enables versatile use across a wide range of applications.

"The compactness and performance of the motors were essential to respect Reachy's humanoid design while increasing its load capacity." 

"We needed a reliable and high-performance solution to meet this challenge in a very short amount of time." 

"We designed Reachy as a platform: researchers can integrate their own algorithms, and developers can enrich the software."

maxon flat motors are especially suitable for installation in confined spaces. They are designed as external rotors and achieve speeds of up to 20,000 rpm. The largely automated production process is reflected in the attractive price. Depending on their size, they can also be combined with gearheads and encoders.

Best price for high torques

The GPX planetary gearheads also combine high power transmission with a very short design. As a result of their modular design and scaled stages, we can implement customer-specific solutions quickly.Different versions are available to optimally match the gearhead to the corresponding application: Standard, ceramic, high-power, high-speed, reduced noise level, or reduced backlash. <ul><li>Compact design</li><li>Low noise and low vibration</li><li>Easily configured online</li></ul>
