Fall River, MA -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 V. 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 W, the motor generates continuous torque of up to 3.4 mNm. A 16mm 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.
