Drive systems for industrial automation
Industry 4.0, the Internet of Things and artificial intelligence are affecting manufacturing processes at every company. Industrial production is also being redefined at maxon. We are constantly raising our standards of quality, efficiency and flexibility to a new level without losing focus on costs. This is essential because complex mechatronic systems only work if the components are of the highest quality and perfectly synchronized. maxon meets this requirement and is one of the only suppliers in the world that develops and manufactures DC motors, gearheads, sensors and controllers itself. Our customers benefit from this in many ways; such as when it comes to drive systems for lab automation, the oil and gas industry, test and measurement technology or semiconductor manufacturing. All of these applications require the highest accuracy, sustainability, reliability and quality.
Our interdisciplinary engineering team works closely with customers to develop perfect, custom-made solutions for customer-specific applications. From simple modifications to completely new designs, maxon offers everything from a single source.

Popular products
maxon EC flat and EC-i
The flat design of the brushless EC flat motors make them the ideal drive for many applications. Their well-thought-out, simple design allows for largely automated production at a competitive price. With their optimized magnetic circuit, the EC-i motors with iron windings offer a very high torque density and very low cogging torque. The multipole internal rotor has excellent dynamics.
Heavy Duty range
maxon's heavy duty product range is specially designed for extremely harsh operating conditions and temperatures over 200 °C. Developed for challenging requirements, the drive opens up new possibilities for many applications. The motors are highly efficient (up to 88% in air, over 70% in oil), making them ideal for battery powered applications. With their cogging-free running properties, they have excellent control characteristics and are suitable for high-precision positioning tasks in outer space, even at low speeds.
Product details and specifications
DCX motor range
maxon DCX motors feature unrivaled power density (torque per volume) and are quiet running. The robust engineering, combined with the globally patented ironless winding, makes the DCX motors a highly dynamic drive for almost every application scenario. The powerful DCX motors with matching gearheads and encoders are configured online and can be delivered within eleven working days.
Product details and specifications
EC frameless flat range
The frameless motor kits consist of only a rotor and stator – with no bearings or motor shaft. With outer diameters of only 43 to 90 mm, they are extremely compact. Their flat design, high torque and plenty of space for cable glands allow for maximum integration with your application.
