maxon international ag (maxon Group) is a Swiss designer and manufacturer of precision electric drive systems and mechatronic motion units. Established in 1961 and headquartered in Sachseln, maxon employs over 3,000 people globally and provides high-precision propulsion and motion control hardware operating in extreme environments from Mars exploration rovers to active surgical implants.

maxon combines high-precision DC/BLDC motors, planetary gearheads, digital sensors, and intelligent motor controllers into custom, cohesive mechatronic assemblies that optimize weight, envelope, energy efficiency, and dynamic performance.

Offer

maxon engineers and manufactures integrated mechatronic drive systems, precision components, and digital motion controllers:

  • Motors & Drives: Coreless DC motors, brushless DC motors (EC-max, EC-4pole, EC-frameless flat motors) ranging from micro-diameters up to high-torque variants.
  • Gearheads & Linear Actuators: Spur gearheads, planetary gearheads, and high-load ball and lead screw linear actuators engineered for precision positioning.
  • Sensors & Encoders: High-resolution magnetic, optical, and inductive encoders (including the proprietary MILE encoder), tachometers, and resolver feedback devices integrated directly on motor PCBA prints.
  • Motion Controllers & Drives Electronics: Digital positioning and speed controllers (EPOS4 and MAXPOS families) with CANopen, EtherCAT, and USB interfaces, offering closed-loop position, velocity, and current control.
  • Integrated Mechatronic System Solutions: Customer-specific multi-axis actuation units combining motor, gearing, braking, sensing, and embedded motion algorithms in custom housing modules for medical pumps, robotic joints, and aerospace mechanisms.
