Configurable DC motors, gearheads and encoders from maxon motor
The maxon X drives family is being expanded to include two additional motor sizes: 16 and 32mm.
The 16mm DC motor, the DCX 16 S, is available with precious metal and graphite brushes and can be combined with the corresponding planetary gearhead and encoder.
The GP 16 A gearhead has also been enhanced with larger ball bearings that has increased the maximum permissible radial load by several factors. The maximum permitted input speed is now rated at 14,000rpm.
The 32mm DC motor, the DCX 32 L, boasts high thermal resistance and achieves high continuous power. The coordinating GPX 32 planetary gearhead has been improved to feature high input speeds of up to 7,000rpm and high continuous torques of up to 2.9Nm.
The GPX 16 and GPX 32 gearheads are available with diameters matching those of the motors, in 1-stage and 2-stage versions. The planetary gearheads have scaled gear stages so the geometry has been optimised for the load in each stage.
In addition, the 22 mm planetary gearhead is now also available as a low-backlash version, the GPX 22 LZ. In total, there are now four different gearhead versions available: standard, ceramic, reduced noise level and reduced backlash.
