Motion Control – The Mars helicopter continues to makes history – with maxon’s precision motors!
Motion Control – Mars helicopter has maxon’s motors!
Space fans are thrilled: NASA’s Ingenuity helicopter has successfully completed its pioneering flight on Mars. This is the first time in the history of powered, unmanned spaceflight that a device has flown in a controlled manner on another planet.
Taunton, MA — Motion Control Products – A short flight for “Ingenuity,” but a big success for unmanned space flight. NASA’s Mars helicopter flew over the surface of the Red Planet for about 40 seconds on Monday, April 19th and landed back on four legs. From NASA’s perspective, this is a historic event similar to the Wright brothers’ first controlled flight in 1903.
With the Mars helicopter, the concept of powered, unmanned, and autonomous flights on foreign planets is being tested. This is comparable to the first Mars rover “Sojourner”, which paved the way for scientific follow-up missions such as “Curiosity” and currently “Perseverance”. “Ingenuity” is about to complete several flights over a period of 30 days, each lasting up to 90 seconds and reaching a maximum altitude of five meters.
Motion Control – New from MAXON, Miniaturized Controller the EPOS4 Micro 24/5 CAN!
Motion Control – Miniaturized Controller
Taunton, MA — Motion Control Products – Maxon is launching a new, miniaturized controller with a size of only 32 mm x 22 mm as part of its successful line of positioning controllers. The attractive price-performance ratio, with a functionality that’s virtually identical to the larger units, addresses cost-sensitive single- and multi-axis applications.
The functionality, operation, software, and accessories of the new controller are derived almost directly from the existing products in the EPOS4 range.

Motion Control – 5 challenges an electric motor has to overcome on Mars
Motion Control – Electric motors on Mars
Outer space is unforgiving. This is why precision drives embarking on a trip to other planets need to meet extremely high-quality standards.
Taunton, MA — Motion Control Products – Every Mars drive from maxon is based on a catalog product and is modified for the specific mission. That’s because the DC motors, gearheads, and encoders face brutal conditions during liftoff, the long journey through space, and the mission on the Red Planet. In this blog, I will talk about the properties a drive needs to have to qualify for a journey to Mars.
Motion Control – Maxon drives are on the Red Planet with NASA’s Perseverance Rover!
Motion Control – Application – Maxon drives on the Red Planet!
In July, NASA sent its fifth rover to Mars. Its main mission is to collect soil samples that will be analyzed on Earth at a later time. The rover also carried a helicopter that is performing flights on the Red Planet. maxon’s precision DC and BLDC motors are used for numerous mission-critical tasks.
Taunton, MA — Motion Control Products & Application – maxon drive systems are very familiar with Mars. Our drives have been used in virtually every successful robotic mission over the last three decades. There are now more than 100 of them on the Red Planet and there are likely to be more soon. The launch window for NASA’s next mission opens on July 22nd. An Atlas V rocket will launch the new Perseverance rover on its way to Mars, where it will be searching for signs of previous life on the planet.
Motion Control – Linear Servo Amplifier
Motion Control – Linear DC Servo Amplifier
Santa Clarita, CA —– Motion Control – H2W introduces a new DC Linear Servo Amplifier (LCAM 5/15) that is ideally suited to drive our complete line of voice coil linear actuators. Linear amplifiers allow the current to flow continuously to the motor which prevents any dead-band issues that occur in many PWM type amplifiers. Additionally, linear amplifiers have low EMI, and no audible noise that also can be found in many PWM type amplifiers. Therefore because of their high current loop bandwidth, coupled with a low EMI, this leads to a smooth motion profile, which makes linear amplifiers the best choice for high precision applications.
They are often used in precision stages to drive linear motors or voice coil actuators in semiconductor, medical, and optical equipment, since most voice coil actuators have very low inductance windings (less than 1 mH), this makes a linear servo amplifier the preferred method to drive voice coils.
Amplifiers will be preset to match the continuous and peak current specifications of any H2W voice coil motor. Available from stock for immediate shipping.
Features:
- – Designed for Low Noise Operation
- – High Output Current: 5A Continuous Output, 15A Peak Output
- – Wide Power Supply Range: +24 to +70 Volts DC
- – Wide Bandwidth: 6.5kHz (90 Degree Phase Shift)
- – Current or Velocity Mode Operation
- – Amplifier Over-Temperature Protection
- – Amplifier Enable Input
- – Fault Indicator Output
- – Adjustable DC Offset Voltage

Motion Control – Linear Servo Controller Amplifier to Control Voice Coil Motors
Forestville, CA, — The SCA814 Linear Servo Controller was specifically designed to control single phase, non-commutated devices like voice coil motors. like it’s field proven predecessor the SCA754 is a high performance single axis DC motor controller and amplifier system. It is comprised of a highly integrated single PC board level product with a cohesive interface. This card provides current amplification and analog servo control interfaces. The single-phase characteristic of the current amplifier makes it particularly well suited for DC motors such as galvanometers and voice coils. It was specifically developed for control of motor applications requiring both high temporal and spatial servo precision, such as machine vision, inspection, scientific imaging, medical imaging and other business applications. This amplifier interfaces directly to many of the Equipment Solution motor/stage solutions.
Besides galvanometers the SCA814 is directly compatible with all the ESI linear voice coil stages and the optical scanners. A bipolar linear or switching regulated power supply is required by the SCA814 amplifier. Typically better performance can be achieved when using a linear power supply. Equipment Solutions has several high-current supplies for this purpose including the SPS15 ±15V DC Switching Power Supply .
