Motor systems for medical technology
maxon motors and drives are used in numerous medical applications. Our motors perform reliably and with the best possible quality in high-precision devices such as active implants, insulin pumps, surgical robots, power tools and hand and foot prostheses. Motor system components for medical technology applications must meet extremely demanding requirements. Precision, sterilisability, smooth running and long service life, as well as low heat build-up in brushed and brushless DC motors are essential.
maxon's medical business unit specialises in developing and producing servo drive systems for a variety of medical applications. Our engineers are well versed in the technical requirements of the medical technology industry, whether for active implants or robot-assisted rehabilitation. In close partnership with our customers, we develop the perfect motor and control system based on a modular standard solution or create a fully customized solution tailored to the customer's specifications.

maxon brushless ECX 13/16/19 motors
The brushless ECX Speed motors with an ironless winding feature an extremely wide speed range, high power, excellent control characteristics and unrivaled durability.The sterilizable motors of the ECX Speed series are available with Hall sensors or sensorless, integrated encoder and can be combined with a large number of gearheads. The electrical connection and many other features are configurable online.
maxon brushless ECX Speed 4/6/8 motors
ECX-Speed series motors meet the exacting standards of the medical technology industry and withstand the constantly moist conditions and high salt concentrations inside the human body. With diameters of 4 to 8 millimeters, the brushless DC motors are particularly suitable for applications in medical technology, especially active implants.
maxon brushless EC 9.2 flat motor
In the medical technology industry, devices and drives have to be 100 percent reliable. Pumps and medication delivery systems are no exception. For example, insulin delivery needs to be extremely precise, which is why insulin pumps require a high-precision motor. The maxon EC 9.2 brushless flat motor meets this need precisely. A slightly modified version of this motor is used in the drive module of an insulin pump.
maxon DCX 10S motor
The DCX 10 S is available as a small drive with preloaded ball bearings or sintered bearings. The optional spark suppression (CLL) makes this DC motor with precious metal brushes a real long-distance runner. The compact DCX drive systems are used in applications such as hand and foot prostheses and feature high power density (torque per volume) and absolutely quiet running.
