    Configurable drive system

    When combined, DCX motors, GPX gearheads, and ENX encoders form a high-precision drive system. DCX motors feature precious metal or graphite brushes, can be equipped with standard preloaded ball bearings or sintered bearings, and cover a large voltage range with six different ironless windings. Almost all mechanical configurations are possible with the motor’s new housing, and its mounting flange is fully configurable, including thread diameter, position, number of mounting holes, and dimensions of the centering collar....More
