maxon motor custom DC gearmotor

maxon motor has released a brushless DC flat motor that is 68 mm in diameter and 38 mm long, delivering 100 W of power on a controlled 24 V supply. The design combines a 14-pole motor wound in a three-phase configuration that delivers high torque and low speed. The brushless DC motor also has a 4096 count per turn encoder built inside the motor that does not contribute any additional length.

Acting as a torque multiplier is a 42 mm, 936:1 ceramic planetary gearhead. The gearhead ratio, combined with the encoder resolution, gives a position resolution of 3.8 million counts per revolution. This high-torque and high-positioning resolution makes the brushless motor suitable for the positioning of heavy loads in the manufacturing industry or for the control of sensors or valves in fluid handling processes
