With maxon motor’s configurator, it is easy to put together a customised dc motor – including gearhead, encoder and controller, to individual specifications. Now, in addition to the brushed motors, it is now possible to configure the three new high-speed, brushless micro-motors.

ECX motors come in diameters of 8, 16 and 19mm, achieving speeds of up to 120,000 rpm. They are available with different power stages and in standard or sterilisable versions (up to 2,000 autoclave cycles). All configurable drives are ready for shipment within eleven working days.
