Maxon’s new aerospace catalogue takes flight

Compliance sits at the heart of product design, especially in sectors like aerospace. Therefore, precision drives specialist Maxon UK and Ireland has created a new aerospace catalogue showcasing its range of DO-160 compliant motors, gearboxes and encoders.

According to the Radio Technical Commission for Aeronautics (RTCA), airborne equipment for flying platforms, from helicopters to the largest passenger aircrafts, must pass DO-160 environmental conditions testing to prove survivability. However, to meet the standard, customers must invest significant sums of money on qualification testing.

Therefore, to make it easier for customers to source motors for aerospace applications, Maxon has produced a new catalogue featuring products that have been modified to ensure they pass DO-160 environmental testing.

The motors in this catalogue are already used in systems that are fully DO-160 compliant. This means they have undergone strenuous testing to prove their survivability in aerospace equipment. With this product range, customers will benefit from superior motor performance and lower costs associated with qualification testing.

Maxon also offers acceptance test and first article inspection reports, change and configuration management and quality assurance agreements (QAAs).
