Maxon’s new EC-max 2-wire motor with its ironless winding of System maxon® offers important physical advantages. The motor turns detent-free and is highly efficient. The stainless steel motor housing, when combined with the metal flanges, provides a high degree of temperature stability, good heat elimination and excellent shielding against electrical fields. Highly automated production processes mean that the motors have an excellent price/performance ratio.
The integrated electronics allow direct control with an operating voltage of between 5 and 15 volts. The motor turns proportionate to the applied voltage with the relevant speed in a given direction. The electronics have protective circuits to protect the motor against polarity reversal, overheating, axle blocking and under-voltage.
With a nominal output of 5 Watts, the motor generates continuous torque of up to 3.4 mNm. A 16 mm diameter planetary gearhead can be added to increase inertia up to a maximum of 0.3 Nm. The motor can be used in any application where a long service life but simple/compact controls are required in the same size product, such as hand-held tools or space-saving automation systems.
The EC-Max series electronically commutated brushless motors are particulary noteworthy for their excellent torque handling characteristics, high performance, extremely wide speed range and unsurpassed service life. These motors feature high efficiency, and low inductance and are construced using rare earth neodynium boron magnets. The EC-Max series offer a cost effective alternative to the high performance standard EC series.
Most motors are available with optional optical encoder, DC tacho, spur gearhead, planetary gearhead, resolver or brake. Motors come with either ball (high performance) or sintered sleeve (economical) bearings.
