maxon motor DC-max motor and GPX gearhead

Tuesday, 17 November, 2015 | Supplied by: maxon motor Australia Pty Ltd


The DC-max motor is a motor offering high-powered rare earth magnets and maxon’s rhombic winding packaged in a cost-effective housing and fitted with a GPX gearhead. Mixing technologies in this way gives the advantage to the product designer to focus a gearmotor’s strengths where they are needed in the application. The high motor speed and high gear reduction requires the gearhead to act as an efficient transmission and this is claimed to be achieved through precision machining and quality materials in the GPX gearhead.

This specific gearmotor combination was specified in a sample preparation application where the gearhead portion of the drive is exposed to a corrosive atmosphere requiring all stainless steel construction; however, the motor portion is hermetically sealed and does not require the stainless steel body of the typical motor used with this gearhead. The advantage with this mix-and-match approach to gearmotor selection being that essentially, the mechatronic equipment designer can allocate costs where needed for the device.
