Manufactured in just 11 days - Configure To Order introduces new DCX motors and GPX gear-boxes

Two years ago, maxon motor presented a new generation of brushed DC motors – the maxon X drives. These are extremely powerful, easy to configure online, and ready for shipment within 11 days. Now, four more DC motor sizes are being added to the existing portfolio.

The 14, 16, 22 and 26 mm diameter models are now each available in a long version (L), which offers higher continuous torque and higher continuous output power.

At the same time, maxon motor is presenting four new GPX planetary gearheads, in 14, 19, 26 and 37 mm sizes. All of these gearheads are designed with scaled gear stages. The biggest news is that each of the new 3-stage gearheads can be driven with the next smaller motor. This brings many advantages, as the resulting system is smaller, lighter and more economical.

Starting immediately, the existing GPX 16 and GPX 32 gearheads are available in various versions and can be equipped with ceramic axles to reduce wear. Customers looking for a particularly low-noise gear-head have the option of choosing a low-noise version.

maxon has also expanded the encoder portfolio. The new ENX 16 Easy absolute encoder is available as an SSI or BiSS-C version, according to the customer's requirements.

All new products are available immediately and are easily configured online; up to a maximum of 49 pieces can be ready for delivery in under two weeks. Customers choose their desired motor, winding, brush system and shaft configuration, as well as the customised gearhead and encoder. For more information, go to dcx.maxonmotor.com.
