Drive systems for medical technology
maxon drives are used in numerous medical applications. Our motors perform reliably and with the best possible quality in high-precision devices such as active implants, insulin pumps, surgical robots, power tools, respirators, ventilators and prostheses. Drive components for medical technology applications must meet extremely demanding requirements. Precision, sterilizability, smooth running and long service life, as well as low heat build-up in DC and EC drives are essential.
maxon's medical business unit specializes in developing and producing drive systems for a variety of medical applications. Our engineers are well versed in the technical requirements of the medical technology industry, whether for active implants or robot-assisted rehabilitation. In close partnership with our customers, we develop the perfect drive system based on a modular standard solution or create a fully customized solution tailored to the customer's specifications.

Popular products
maxon ECX 13/16/19
The brushless ECX Speed motors with an ironless winding feature an extremely wide speed range, high power, excellent control characteristics and unrivaled durability.The sterilizable drives of the ECX Speed series are available with Hall sensors, integrated encoder, or sensorless, and can be combined with a large number of gearheads. The electrical connection is configurable online.
maxon ECX Speed 4/6/8
ECX-Speed series motors meet the exacting standards of the medical technology industry and withstand the constantly moist conditions and high salt concentrations inside the human body. With diameters of 4 to 8 millimeters, the brushless DC motors are particularly suitable for applications in medical technology, especially active implants.
maxon EC 9.2 flat
In the medical technology industry, devices and drives have to be 100 percent reliable. Pumps and medication delivery systems are no exception. For example, insulin delivery needs to be extremely precise, which is why insulin pumps require a high-precision drive. The maxon EC 9.2 flat meets this need precisely. A slightly modified version of this drive is used in the drive module of an insulin pump.
maxon DCX 10S
The DCX 10 S is available as a small drive with preloaded ball bearings or sintered bearings. The optional spark suppression (CLL) makes this DC motor with precious metal brushes a real long-distance runner. The compact DCX drive systems are used in applications such as hand and foot prostheses and feature high power density (torque per volume) and absolutely quiet running.
