When failure isn’t an option…

With an almost legendary reputation for reliability, the maxon range of high precision drives and systems is fast becoming as familiar in aerospace development as it is in so many other endeavours where component failure is simply not an option.

Artificial hearts… racing car engines… satellite navigation equipment… surgical tools… undersea welding machines… the list goes on and on.  Small wonder that aerospace design engineers are turning to maxon – especially when the components’ durability can mean the difference between success and failure.

In the highly competitive world of commercial airlines it is essential that passenger comfort features can be counted upon to operate reliably at all times.  Success depends heavily on providing passengers with a pleasant, comfortable flying experience – every time.  Motorised features such as a TV screen that descends from the ceiling, and blinds that can be raised and lowered effortlessly, all add to that experience.  So too does efficient and reliable valve control for the toilets... and the motorised adjusting mechanism in a growing number of airliner seats.
