Today, maxon motor is known throughout the industry as the world’s leading supplier of high-precision motors, drives and systems for design engineers… but it wasn’t always so.

50 years of innovation

The Swiss company began life as Interelectric Sachseln AG in 1961, producing products for Braun Electric Razors – notably the DC motor and the shaving foil.

From these relatively humble origins, the business made a defining switch in 1968 to developing tiny dc motors with ironless rotors, doubling efficiency compared to traditional models and instantly revolutionising the miniature motor market.

Since then, the company has consistently been at the forefront of innovation, pushing boundaries in terms of size, reliability and performance of all its components.

50 years on, maxon motors can be found in almost all cutting-edge applications, from high temperature subsea drilling to two generations of NASA Mars Rovers.

To celebrate the company’s journey so far, maxon motor uk presented one lucky respondent with an Apple iPad 2, and three more with the book "Selection of High Precision Microdrives" by maxon's own Dr Urs Kafader.

Although the competition has now closed, we're stkill keen to find out exactly what you think. Please fill out a short survey here.

CEO of maxon motor uk Keith Ellenden says: “It’s astounding to track maxon’s development from a fairly small concern in the 60s to become one of the most trusted manufacturers of high-performance components in the world.

“But we’ve never been content to rest on our laurels. We’re already coming up with brand new ways to innovate in our 51st year. And in our survey, you can influence our future development – whether it’s new products, or simply great service. So have your say and celebrate with us!"
