Maxon motor recently published its records results and emphasized its good position around the world. Needless to say that the company’s innovation policy is certainly for something in these good results. Today maxon motor announces an new flat motor.
A completely newly designed 70 Watts version joins the family, pushing the already remarkably high power limit, once again. The new EC 45 flat 70 W displays a very flat speed/torque gradient and unifies novel features with proven characteristics: flange pattern, fixation and socket are identical to the existing EC 45 flat 50 Watt version. And nonetheless, the new 70 Watt motor delivers 38% more torque. The EC 45 flat 70 W possesses outstanding key data. Among others, it delivers a max. continuous torque of 130 mNm at an efficiency of up to 85%, thus making it the excellent choice for the use in self-contained drive systems as well as in industrial automation applications.
Several possibilities The new EC 45 flat 70 W is available with Hall sensors and comes in four windings (24, 30, 36, 48 V). It can be combined with more than 54 different planetary and spur gearheads of series GP 42 C and GS 45 A. For control purposes, there is a wide variety of servo controllers (DEC, DECS, DECV and DES) and positioning controllers (EPOS2 and EPOS2 P) to choose from.
Flat motor? The flat design of the brushless DC flat motors makes them the ideal drive for many applications. Designed as internal or external rotor motors, they are often the ideal solution when space is limited. The well thought-out and simple design means that production is largely automated, helping keep down the price.

The divide is widening ever further between advocates of a ‘no-rules’ approach and those in favour of more or less stringent legislation – seemingly to the detriment of the latter. Are entrepreneurial freedom and respect for individual rights or safety standards necessarily at odds with one another?
The company stands out for its expertise in high-performance composites, a field in which it designs bespoke solutions that meet the most demanding requirements. By Pierre-Yves Schmid A subsidiary of the Busch Group, a global specialist in vacuum pumps employing 8,000 people across 23 production sites worldwide, Composites Busch began operations in 1988 in Chevenez, manufacturing vanes for these pumps. Now based in Porrentruy, this company, which employs 103 people, still manufactures (…)
In mid-February, the Switzerland Innovation Park in Biel hosted the second edition of the International Humanoid Forum. University professors, established industrialists and start-up executives came from all over the world to share their vision of the potential integration of humanoid robots in industry, healthcare and the home. At the end of two days of conferences, seminars and workshops, the question was no longer whether this integration would happen, but when... Points of view. The (…)
This year, the coveted HERMES Startup Award goes to a young Swiss company. The startup impressed the independent jury, chaired by Prof. Dr.-Ing. -Ing. Holger Hanselka, President of the Fraunhofer Society, with the ultra-thin, fully flexible solid-state batteries they have developed. The award was presented by Dorothee Bär, Federal Minister for Research, Technology and Space, during the official opening of HANNOVER MESSE on April 19, 2026, in the presence of Federal Chancellor Friedrich (…)
Dürr’s latest innovation enables direct 2K varnish return in the atomizer, eliminating VOC emissions, successfully used in two lines for a year. Until now, significant amounts of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) were released into the paint booth during flushing and color changes with mixed two-component (2C) paint systems. In conventional processes, residual paint is flushed forward into a funnel or directly into the washout, leading to VOC pollution in over 70 percent of the booth air. (…)
For years, production costs have been heading in only one direction, that is to say, steeply upward, while the demand is for ever lower manufacturing prices. On top of this, there is a lack of skilled workers. These are the challenges that confront many manufacturers, including WTO, a maker of static and driven precision toolholders. The solution appears to be obvious: a fully automated production hall. In series production, one can always rely on established methods, but for small batch (…)
Led by CSEM, the PEGGASUS consortium is set to enable new types of human–machine interface (HMI) across cockpit avionics, pushing the boundaries of augmentation in the cockpit. Using the latest in artificial intelligence (AI) and computer vision technologies, this European-funded project will integrate—for the first time—remote eye-gaze tracking and gesture recognition for pilots in a single framework. Its purpose is to enhance human-machine interaction in the complex flight operations of (…)
