maxon's new EC motors are used in applications looking to benefit from the motors' long service life, high speeds and lack of maintenance, such as medical technology, textile processing machinery, fitting machines and portable hand tools. (read more)

The compact 3003/3006 Motion Controllers from MicroMo are now even more efficient and can be optionally operated via a RS232 or CAN interface. The configuration of the electronics is based on a digital signal processor (DSP), which enables a high performance as well as precise positioning and very low speeds. (read more)

Low-cost Powerhouse

Ø22mm Low-cog DC Micromotor

The low-cog DC micromotor has an 22 mm external motor-diameter with a 32 mm length. The low-cog rotation is achieved through a combination of skewed laminations and a tapered permanent magnet system. The DC micromotor can achieve a stall torque of 25.62 mNm and speeds of up to 10,000 rpm. (read more)

The 3 phase, 8 pole construction provides a maximum output power of up to 200 Watts, and the 5.0 mm diameter motor shaft ensures high rotational stability. (read more)

When it comes to finding technological ways of dealing with the loss of a limb, for example as the result of the amputation of a leg, two key things need to be taken into account. Firstly, it took nature a long time to develop the perfect "apparatus" to allow humans to move around. Secondly, people are creatures of habit – they tend to carry on moving in the way they're used to. (read more)
