Tested a million times.
Any new UAV component undergoes a series of qualification tests before release, assuring utmost safety through a strict quality system.
Quality you can rely on
Unmanned aerial vehicles require reliable components and, above all, energy-efficient drives that ensure the longest possible flight time. maxon brushless DC motors and ESCs meet these requirements without difficulty. maxon guarantees the unrivalled quality of its efficient, reliable and powerful propulsion systems for the drone industry. maxon has been EN 9100 certified (equivalent to AS 9100) since 2012. This standard was created specifically for companies that develop and produce components for the aerospace industry. maxon offers sustainability and stability, combined with consequent configuration management and traceability of parts. All maxon products rely on standardized designs, manufacturing processes and testing, to ensure maximum repeatability between parts.
Tested according to Aerospace Standards
As UAV applications and use cases grow to be more mature, operational safety of UAVs and corresponding components move into focus. maxon assists drone manufacturer with obtaining operational authorization by providing evidence of compliance to established and harsh aerospace environmental testing standards. Apart from standard maxon qualification testing during the developments, the entire UAV propulsion portfolio went through DO-160 G Environmental Testing. This harsh test campaign includes temperature, vibration, crash safety/shock and humidity tests according to the respective sections in the standard. The maxon drives were subjected to tests similar to the ones required for helicopter components qualification.
Work with the best
For 60 years, maxon has focused on customer-specific solutions in drive system technology. Our brushed and brushless DC motors are used wherever the requirements are high and reliability is of the utmost concern. For more than 20 years, maxon’s drive technology has been driving the Mars rovers on the Red Planet and our engineers use the knowledge they have gained from these and other aerospace projects to further improve serial production components. maxon`s UAV propulsion systems benefit from this extensive experience to design custom drive solutions for application in the most demanding environments.
Benefit from our UAV expertise
The name maxon is not only synonymous with customized precision, it also stands for an extensive support network that guarantees the highest Swiss standards all over the world with over 3000 employees. A dedicated team of aerospace and drone technology experts which assists customers with every application from technical assessment of specifications to prototypes, to testing and manufacturing – be it complex or multi-year development projects. Drawing on its extensive knowledge of the Aerospace industry, maxon has developed its own internal quality procedures and tests, including dedicated test equipment for analyzing each component of the propulsion system.
