Not every application starts with a blank motor selection. Sometimes you need a complete drive system that arrives ready to commission. Sometimes you need to configure and prototype fast. And sometimes nothing standard fits at all. DNH supplies three solutions to these problems.
Key advantages
The maxon IDX performs like a motor 25% larger, in a 56 or 70 mm IP65 housing. For low voltage applications.
Curated range of motors, gearboxes, and accessories that can be explored, configured, and ordered.
Flexible for use in industrial, robotic, and logistic applications. Easily configured online.
Nothing standard fits? maxon and Parvalux engineers design complete custom drive systems from scratch to your exact specification.

maxon: Compact Drive Systems
The maxon IDX is a complete, pre-integrated drive system in an industrial housing. It combines a brushless EC-i motor, a GPX planetary gearhead, and an EPOS4 positioning controller in a single unit of 56 mm or 70 mm cross-section. Despite its size, it delivers the performance of a motor with a 25% larger footprint. Two integrated temperature sensors protect the motor winding and electronics automatically against overheating.
Why these brands
Sourced from two of the world's most respected drive engineering groups. The maxon IDX is a pre-integrated compact drive for demanding industrial and robotic applications. The Parvalux modular range lets you configure a motor-gearbox combination online and receive it within days. And for applications where the standard range ends, both maxon and Parvalux offer full custom engineering, from concept through to series production, with DNH as your local engineering partner in Southern Africa.
