Maxon Motor UK has completed what is believed to be the largest and most comprehensive catalogue of high precision gears and drives in the world. The new 228 page publication contains detailed information on more than 57,000 different products. Included for the first time are more than 700 new lines including electric motors, spur and planetary gearheads, electronic and servo-amplifiers.

Significantly, it features a fast-growing number of new products exploiting the benefits of ceramics.

According to Keith Ellenden of Maxon Motor UK, "Our new catalogue is one of the most comprehensive guides to high precision drives ever published.

It embraces DC and EC motors in diameters from 6mm to 75mm with assigned power ratings up to 400 Watt.

It also includes maxon motor modular systems with gearheads, DC-tachos, encoders and resolvers.

"The catalogue also comes with a free CD-Rom which not only features all the products contained within the catalogue, but also the maxon selection programme.

This offers the facility to calculate appropriate drive solutions and has the capability to import dimensional drawings (*.dxf) files directly into CAD packages - specifically to help design engineers."
