Maxon Motor Control

Source: maxon precision motors, inc.

The maxon motor control program offers a variety of servo amplifiers designed for controlling the fast reacting maxon DC and EC motors. The function of the speed servo amplifier is to keep the prescribed motor speed constant and independent of load changes. Features for these controllers include built-in additional inductance for operation with low-inductance motors, high PWM frequencies greater than 50 kHz, and high efficiency.

The maxon motor control technologies also enable digital encoder control, IxR compensation, DC tacho control, and set value specifications, operating quadrants, and power stage transistors.

Available maxon motor control technologies include:

  • DEC module: 1-Q speed controller (closed loop) for brushless (maxon EC) motors
  • ESCON: 4-Q speed and current controller for DC and EC motors
  • EPOS: Position controller for DC and EC motors
  • MAXPOS: Highly dynamic controller for DC brushed and brushless (maxon EC) motors
