Maxon Motor Australia have announced the availability of DC motors with moving coil rotor and high performance permanent magnets.
Maxon DC motor programmes may be distinguished as follows:
- RE-Programme
Size: 6mm to 75mm
Capacity: 0.3W to 250W
High performance by using Neodymium- (NdFeB) magnets
- S-Programme
Size: 22mm to 32mm
Capacity: 6W to 15W with AlNiCo magnets
Flexible programme with many versions
- A-Programme
Size: 15mm and 20mm
Capacity: 0.8W and 1.2W
AlNiCo magnets
Offers many of the advantages of the S-Programme at lower cost
- F-Programme
Size: 30mm to 60mm
Capacity: 2.5W to 80W
Ferrite magnets
Maxon DC motors have the following characteristics:
- Mechanical commutation (graphite or precious metal brushes)
- Excellent volume/performance ratio
- High efficiency
- Low inductance
- No magnetic cogging
- High acceleration through a low mass inertia
- Low electromagnetic interference
- Linear characteristics
- High reliability
- Multiple combination possibilities with gears, feedback devices and control electronics
These motors can be used in applications such as space robots, aircraft seats, packaging systems, conveyors and chip mounting systems.
