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

Plug-&-play

The maxon IDX performs like a motor 25% larger, in a 56 or 70 mm IP65 housing. For low voltage applications.

Modular range

Curated range of motors, gearboxes, and accessories that can be explored, configured, and ordered.

Compact drives

Flexible for use in industrial, robotic, and logistic applications. Easily configured online.

Custom builds

Nothing standard fits? maxon and Parvalux engineers design complete custom drive systems from scratch to your exact specification.

maxon: Compact Drive Systems

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.
