Powerful High Speed Brushless 16 mm DC Micromotors With Speeds Of Up To 60,000 rpm!

Maxon’s EC16 is a brushless DC motor with a diameter of only 16mm, a length of 56mm and a power rating of 40 Watt!

The speed range of this fast running motor is from 0 to 60,000 rpm. Lower speeds and a corresponding high torque can be implemented with a planetary gear from the maxon modular system. Brushless DC motors need the information of the actual rotor position for the electronic commutation of the three phases. With the available motor, the proven concept to separate the control magnet from the main magnet has been applied.

At The Right Place At The Right time, Maxon Motor Launches A New Intelligent Positioning Controller

Fall River, MA -- A 2nd generation of the family of intelligent positioning controllers EPOS (Easy to use POSitioning System) is already emerging. EPOS2 is the name of the new product from the maxon motor control range - a digital positioning controller designed to control brush and brushless DC motors with encoder.

Maxon EPOS positioning controllers are the ideal choice for applications that require decentralized drive intelligence. These modular digital positioning controllers, based on CANopen standard, cover a performance range from 1 – 700 watts. They can operate in position, speed and current control mode, and can be configured to operate with both DC and EC motors, depending on software commands. A variety of operating modes means that they can be used flexibly in every kind of drive system in automation technology and mechatronics.
