Drive systems for the aerospace industry Whether long-distance aircraft, UAV, or Mars probe, hundreds of powerful drive systems are required for take off. Our certified components maintain their high precision even in extreme environments, advance scientific progress, and enhance the passenger experience.
Your reliable partner in the air
Uncompromising quality, innovative technology, and thousands of flight hours. Our aim is to be the most reliable partner in the skies. Electric drive systems from maxon for the aerospace industry assist pilots in the cockpit and power drones, satellites, and rovers on Mars. For more than twenty years, maxon’s technology has been driving the Mars rovers on the Red Planet. Today, hundreds of drive systems can be found in modern long- haul aircraft. Back here on the ground, maxon and its customers develop drive solu- tions consisting of individual components or sophisticated technical systems for passenger aircraft, helicopters, spacecrafts and unmanned aerial vehicles. maxon guarantees the unrivaled quality of its efficient, reliable and powerful drive systems for the aerospace industry. maxon has been EN 9100 certified (equivalent to AS 9100) since 2012. This standard was created especially for companies that develop and produce components for the aerospace industry. In our in-house laboratories, we test our drives for resistance to vibration, shock, cold, heat and vacuum. The name maxon is synonymous with customized precision and stands for an exten- sive support network that guarantees the highest Swiss standards all over the world. Our dedicated aerospace team assists customers with simple applications as well as complex, multi-year development projects. The maxon aerospace team have used the knowledge they have gained from numerous special projects, such as the drives for the Mars missions, to other aero- space projects and have further developed this expertise for serial production. Our state-of-the-art technology and extensive laboratory tests make this possible. We never stand still. We are forever expanding the possibilities of aerospace technology, whether for passenger spacecrafts, helicopters or spacecrafts. Our solutions for the aerospace industry maxon is a global leader in the design, development, and production of electric drive systems in four aerospace technology segments:
In 2010 maxon established a dedicated business unit for the aerospace industry. For 20 years Mars rovers powered by maxon drive technology have been exploring on the Red Planet. Over 7000 possible configurations specifically for the aerospace industry.
