Rapid Prototyping Capabilities for Motors
Parvalux by maxon — The latest innovation by Parvalux is their ability to provide prototype motors at a rapid pace.
Rapid prototyping for plastic parts is one thing, but when components are more complex designers are forced with selecting from a limited catalog or waiting a long time for a specialized component to be created. That is no longer the case with motor design.
The company has designed and manufactured a series of modular components that are easily mixed and matched so that users get a paired system from one manufacturer rather than piecing together components such as motors, gearheads, brakes, and encoders from various manufacturers. The ability to create a near optimal motor drive for your application just became faster and easier. In a three-step selection process, designers can purchase a motor that is built to order using the company’s online configurator.
Although every application can be different, designers need to focus on voltage, speed, and torque in every case. Using a modular system provides a range of options that allow designers to determine their required output performance and make a quick selection. Once this is done, users of the online configurator can fine tune their selection using a range of accessories including brakes, encoders, shaft extension kits, and controllers.
As part of the company’s modular drive systems, Parvalux offers a line of motors that includes PMDC (permanent magnet DC) motors, BLDC (brushless DC) motors, and single-phase or three-phase AC motors, all of which are available with inline or right-angle gearboxes. The company’s line of AC/DC motors are available in series-wound or shunt-would versions. Accessories, such as encoders and brakes are easily selected.
PMDC motors are small motors with impressive output performance, excellent for mobility, patient care, and industrial product designs. BLDC motors require no maintenance and offer high starting torques, excellent power density, and quiet operation. Parvalux also offers their SC 50/15 controller which ensures precise control over speed, torque, and motor efficiency. The company designs and manufactures a complete line of motion products for industry that have become key components in a wide variety of applications. Parvalux also offers recommended combinations of motion systems for building automation that include door automation and access control stations; material handling combinations that include conveyors and AGVs, and mobility combinations that include stairlifts, patient hoists, wheelchair lifts, and more.
Parvalux by maxon designs, manufactures, and markets a wide variety of PMDC, BLDC, and AC motors, gearboxes, controllers, and accessories for a wide variety of industries from medical to aerospace and from manufacturing to warehousing.
