maxon motor 6 mm diameter brushless DC motor

maxon motor’s brushless DC servo motor, with a 6 mm diameter, is a motor gearhead and feedback combination featuring a high motor speed capability of up to 100,000 rpm on very low 3, 6 and 12 V winding options. There is also the possibility to customise the company’s coreless winding to suit the desired speed range.

The 6 mm diameter planetary gearhead can reduce the speed and increase the torque of the motor by up to 854 times. The motor is fitted with a hall sensor network for feedback that gives a state change every 60°. Considering both the speed of the motor and the increased resolution from the gearbox reduction, this equates to high-resolution control over the motor.

Fitted with multiple stainless steel ball bearings, the motor and gearhead offer high radial and axial load levels and the motor preloading controls excessive resonance at such high speeds. The winding constants and the gearhead ratios must be carefully considered to best suit the application.
