Sterilizible 16-mm Brushless Motor from Maxon

Fall River, MA –The new Maxon "EC-16" sterilizible brushless motors deliver the performance
and lifetime of a brushless motor in a sterilizible package. By assembling the motor such that the
coils are outside the rotor, good heat dissipation and high overload capability is attained. Steam
sterilization is specified at 134° C (273° F) at up to 2.3 bar, for 20 minutes. Motor can be sterilized
at least 100 times in an autoclave.

Motor diameter is 16 mm (0.63 in) while the length is 56 mm (2.2 in). Continuous output power is
40 watts, while maximum speed is 50,000 RPM. Maximum continuous torque is up to 12.6 mNm
(1.78 oz-in) depending on the winding. Ambient temperature range is -20° to 135° C (-4° to 275°
F). Utilizing high-energy samarium cobalt magnets, results in a very responsive mechanical time
constant of 5 ms, while minimizing overall size. Complementing the motors is a sterilizable
gearhead available in 55 ratios ranging from 3.8:1 to 4592:1, rated for up to 2 Nm (283 oz-in)
continuous torque, with a maximum input speed of 8,000 RPM.

This high performance, sterilizible motor is well

suited for a variety of applications including
surgical, dental, and dermatological tools, as well
as other bio-medical devices.

Maxon designs, manufactures, and markets

fractional horsepower moving coil DC motors &
brushless motors ranging in size from 6 to 90 mm
(0.2 to 3.5 in) and from 0.03 to 500 watts. We also
have an extensive selection of gearheads,
encoders, and control electronics to complement
our motors.
