DC Drives

On maxon's microsite, those who are interested can find innovative brushed DC motors, planetary gearheads and sensors. DCX motors, GPX gearheads and ENX encoders can be configured and ordered online. The DCX 22 S has stainless steel or graphite brushes, can be equipped with standard preloaded ball bearings or sintered bearings and covers a large voltage range with six different ironless windings. With the new housing, almost all mechanical configurations are possible. For example, the flange can be equipped with different fastening screw threads and mounting centering options. For use in small spaces, the motor is also available in a very short configuration without flange. The length and diameter of the drive shaft can be selected, with or without face. The motors can also be ordered with or without cables. Cables are available in various lengths and with plugs. Furthermore, the supplier has developed new gearheads and encoders for the DCX motors. The GPX gearhead consists of individually configurable gear stages and is now even more silent and robust. With a robust laser weld, the gearhead interface is joined seamlessly to the motor. The gearheads also come with a configurable flange. The shaft is available in different lengths, with or without a face, and even with cross holes or a key. The ENX QUAD encoder is a single-pulse, 2-channel encoder. It is used for speed and direction detection. With ESD protection network, reverse polarity protection, cable strain relief and the general robust design, it is an economic choice for simple closed-loop tasks. The ENX EASY is a 3-channel encoder with line driver in acc. with RS422. A resolution of up to 1024 pulses can be programmed ex works. Thanks to the cable strain relief, it is an excellent choice for high-precision position and speed control. The cables of the encoder are configurable in seven lengths, from 50 mm to max. 1000 mm.
