Sterilisable brushless DC motor, gearbox and encoder combination
In 2017 maxon unveiled the first complete system of sterilisable brushless DC motor, gearbox and choice of absolute or incremental encoder. This is particularly found in applications within the medical and laboratory automation, and dental sectors.
Aimed at applications operating in the medical hand tools and specialist tools for controlled environments, maxon offer a full position controllable system that is sterilisable. What stands out about this combination is the sterilisable encoder with optional output formats of both incremental to 1024 counts per revolution or Absolute with a 4096cpt (12 Bit). In typical combinations of high speed brushless motors, on offer is a 13mm and 16mm diameter brushless DC motor that reaches speeds of 120,000rpm with power levels over 100W. The high input speed gearboxes can be selected with the correct ratio to match the application speed and torque requirements. Furthermore the gearboxes are of a robust stainless steel laser welded construction that is durable and robust to withstand these harsh environments.
