Paired with complex Controller

Complex mechatronic drive systems only work if all components are of the highest quality and perfectly compatible. maxon not only develops and produces DC and BLDC motors, gearheads, and sensors, but also multi-axis motion controllers (MACS). This puts maxon in a position to combine high-quality drive components into a mechatronic system. The benefits: a compact design, components configured specifically for the customer, and the guarantee of obtaining maximum performance from the drive system.
