Sterilizable Mini Motors from Maxon
German manufacturer Maxon Motor has recently launched 2 sterilizable minimotors, ideal for medical applications.
According to the company, these drives are small, compact, precise and fast. That’s why they can be used in high speed medical applications (up to 90 000 rpm) such as handheld devices for surgery and dentistry, and also in robotics and semiconductor equipment.
The two sterilizable drives “EC Size 5 sterilizable” and “EC 13 sterilizable” can be used alone or combinated in gearmotors with specially matched planetary gearboxes.
EC size 5 and EC size 13 are identical and possess same performance data and features.
Considering their outer dimensions, they aim to different target markets: gearmotors of Size 5 variant possess dimensions in U.S. Customary Units resulting in an outside diameter of ؽ inch and a shaft of Ø0.125 inch. The motor has a so-called “Servo Mount”, a well-established type of motor fixation.
The EC 13 / GP 13 variant’s home however is the metric system, which results in an outer diameter of Ø13 mm, a Ø3 mm shaft and a flange with 3 face side threads.
Both Maxon motors are available either equipped with Hall sensors or sensorless as well as with three different windings. The gearheads are available with one, two or three stages as well as with or without output end shaft sealing.
