maxon motor ultrasmall DC motors

maxon motor’s 6 and 8 mm DC servo motors have been released, with a wide range of motor customisations possible.

Completely configured by the end user, the micro DC motor features online motor design and fully automated construction. Without human interference, a tiny microdrive can be tailored to the application via an online tool — from the shaft length, diameter and flat features to the mounting method, gearhead reduction, winding characteristics, cable length and connector type — all direct from the motor design portal to the automated manufacturing line.

The product has laser-welded steel construction, dual stainless ball bearings and integral strain relief on a motor with a 6 mm outer diameter. Reaching over 17,000 rpm at low noise levels and torque levels to 200 mNm, the 6 and 8 mm servo gear motors are power dense.

The ultrasmall DC servo motors have linear control characteristics and zero magnetic detent (cogging), making them suitable for applications such as micro pumps, medical and laboratory dosing devices and robotics.
