maxon BLDC motor

The maxon BLDC motor offers the advantages of both outrunner and inrunner brushless DC motors. Outrunner motors offer advantages such as the maximised distance from the shaft centre to the flux gap of the motor creating a larger lever arm effect from the torque production location to the axis. Good torque characteristics are typically achieved due to the larger diameter of outrunner motors.

This motor design offers an ‘internal external rotor’ that is contained in a aluminium or optional sealed stainless steel motor housing. There are other additional advantages for the design. It also has an internally mounted 4096 CPT incremental encoder and can be assembled with high torque ceramic planetary gearheads, producing a positioning drive system with a slow motion high torque focus. Applications in process control, valve actuation and industrial machinery are particularly suitable for this motor.
