maxon’s Ceramic department

Ceramic can be used where other materials fail. The advantages of using this customisable component is found in its mechanical strength, exceptional insulation properties, high resistance to corrosion, ability to withstand extreme temperatures and chemicals, durability and wear-resistant properties.

At their state of the art manufacturing site in Sexau, Germany, maxon Group develops customisable CIM (Ceramic Injection Moulding) components. Working with the latest technology and incorporating the 20 plus years of experience in Powder Injection Moulding (PIM) maxon uses the most up to date CAD technology and finite element calculation.

The ceramic department works across technology found in watches and mechanical clocks, measurement technology such as sensor housing for flow meters, audio equipment including headphones and bearings for high-end record players, industrial automation and machinery, medical industry for example in Endoscopes, and of course, DC motors.

In DC motor technology, the limitations of traditional materials become evident where environmental conditions are extreme. Ceramic is particularly suited to the harsh conditions found in salt water.  For example customised underwater drives require saltwater resistant materials. maxon ceramic spindles work with virtually no slip-stick effect, are corrosion resistant, robust, wear resistant and have excellent efficiency.
