At the heart of every maxon motor is the world-wide patented, ironless rotor "the System maxon®". This motor concept has many specific technical advantages, which for Underwood results in a highly efficient motor with low levels of noise and power consumption.
At maxon motor all major components are manufactured in-house using custom-built machinery and key technologies in the areas of winding techniques, gearhead design and injection moulding technology.
Having provided the motors for the SOJOURNER rover in 1997, the Swiss company is again involved in NASA's current expedition on Mars. Both of the Mars rovers "SPIRIT" and "OPPORTUNITY" feature 39 maxon motors among their 43 electromotors.
Underwood places it's trust in advanced Swiss technology, so you can trust your automatic watches in the care of the "Rotogalbe".
