Production sites all over the world.
Development of drives for the automotive industry is centered in our headquarters in Sachseln (Switzerland). However, maxon’s global presence allows us to provide local support to customers all over the world. We organize the manufacture of the drives to harmonize with our customers’ production sites. Depending on the volume, production can take place on manual, semi-automated, or automated lines.
Engineering and testing facilities.
Our specialized facilities for motors, magnetic materials, drives and controllers, mechanical integration, gearheads, and sensors can perform configurations and simulations and create physical models. We can carry out the necessary tests in-house or with support from external partners.
Technology
Compact motors from 0.1 W to 5 kW.
Our components qualified for the automotive industry pack maximum power into the smallest of spaces, and we work closely with our customers to adapt them to specific challenges. maxon drives with high-precision sensors are specially developed for automation and designed for operation in extreme environmental conditions.
Technology
Flat and precise with high-resolution encoders.
We develop cost-effective and robust magnetic encoder solutions for our drives. Optical encoders can also be used, as needed.
