maxon UK & Ireland is inviting design engineers to its stand at the Engineering Design Show to provide guidance in electric drive system design. On Stand G55, across 8 and 9 October at the Coventry Building Society Arena, maxon’s engineers will offer their expertise to help visiting engineers optimise the motion of their applications. The precision drive systems specialist will also demonstrate the latest technology available in DC and brushless DC motors, gears, and controls.

 

The Swiss company is renowned for precision drive systems involved in flag-ship projects such as NASA’s Mars rover programme, and design engineers based in Britian and Ireland can leverage this expertise from maxon’s UK & Ireland engineering team. maxon is taking its drive system knowledge on the road at EDS, offering specialist advice in drive system specification, including custom design.

maxon supports design engineers by developing drive systems for sectors such as medical technology, industrial automation, mobility solutions including robotics, as well as automotive and marine applications. maxon also has significant experience in the aerospace sector, including drones, plus its high-profile space projects.

At EDS, maxon will present highlights from its catalogue, featuring DC and brushless DC (BLDC) motors, gearboxes, and encoders. maxon will also demonstrate its range of motor controllers that can modulate torque, speed, and position, as well as achieve multi-axis control.

maxon’s Parvalux brand, the British manufacturer of fractional horsepower and geared motors including right-angle geared motors, also joins maxon at the show. Parvalux designs compact drives for sectors including human mobility with applications such as stairlifts and patient hoists, as well as leisure equipment, ranging from drives for golf buggies through to caravan movers. The UK company also provides motors and gearboxes for a range of industrial, agricultural, and transport applications that require reliable, controlled movement in a compact and quiet package.

To demonstrate this wide coverage of motion system expertise, maxon’s engineers will explain a variety of applications at the show. A bionic hand, including an array of flat, brushless DC motors, will emphasise capabilities in precision control and compact integration for robot design. Presenting optimal energy efficiency and torque-density, maxon will also show its new e-bike drive system, the lightest full-power system currently available.

maxon’s UK & Ireland engineering team provides design engineers with close support in drive system specification and design. Around 80% of maxon’s manufacturing output includes customisation, and Parvalux also offers a modular configuration service that provides rapid availability of customised motors, gearboxes, and geared motors for OEM prototyping. This online modular service can supply motor and gearbox prototypes within four weeks, from online selection through to delivery.

“maxon drive systems deliver controlled movement across a variety of applications, ranging from surgical robots where precision is essential, through to industrial applications that need durability and long life,” says Will Mason, maxon UK & Ireland Managing Director. “The EDS Show is a valuable forum for design engineers from a variety of sectors as it enables them to meet our UK & Ireland-based engineers face-to-face and receive expert design advice at first hand.”

maxon engineers Ben Smith and Amir Janjua are attending the show. To make your appointment to receive drive system advice, e-mail ben.smith@maxongroup.com or amir.janjua@maxongroup.com.
