Electric motor controllers
Staying in control. It has never been easier.
Robotics and automation require increasingly complex drive controllers. The focus no longer only lies on the motor controller or motion controller but on small, complete, networked systems. maxon features the ideal controller portfolio for this evolution.
Control systems for precision and dynamics.
Efficient controllers must offer a high degree of functionality and flexibility in any application. Topics, such as diagnostics, networking, and functional safety, are gaining in importance. The drive controller must be easy to commission and operate.
To achieve maximum performance for each drive, the maxon portfolio ranges from simple current or speed controllers to highly dynamic motion controllers and motor-integrated controllers. A major advantage: All controllers are perfectly matched to the individual components of the brushless and brushed motors from maxon.
Motion control
Central control for complex axis movements.
With freely programmable maxon multi-axis controllers, you can synchronize coordinated movements of several axes with high precision.
- Available with or without integrated power stages
- Suitable for multi-axis positioning or synchronization as well as the control of kinematic systems
- License-free ApossIDE automation software
- EtherCAT, Ethernet & CANopen interfaces

Positioning controllers
Intelligent position control.
From attractively priced positioning via CANopen to demanding automation with EtherCAT and functional safety: maxon positioning controllers offer a wide range of operating modes and command interfaces for DC and EC motors of up to 1,800 W continuous power.
- ESCON2 for CANopen, EPOS4 for EtherCAT and functional safety
- From simple point-to-point positioning to highly dynamic dual loop control with FOC
- Can be combined with different feedback encoders, such as Hall sensors, incremental encoders, or absolute sensors
- Easy to use due to comprehensive libraries and Studio software with fully automatic Regulation Tuning

Current and speed controllers
Easy current and speed control.
Attractively priced 1-Q servo drives with a modular design for simple speed control of BLDC motors with Hall sensors, up to 250 W continuous power.
- Speed control in closed or open loop
- Command functions with analog and digital signals
- Fixed settings selectable via I/O
- Protection against overcurrents, excess temperatures, undervoltages, and overvoltages
