Athlonix Brush DC Motors voted Best Product Finalist

 

Athlonix™ high-power density brush DC motors from Portescap have been named a 2009 Design News Golden Mousetrap Award Finalist in the Motion Control/Automation category.  Athlonix motors feature an energy efficient coreless design with an optimized self-supporting coil and magnetic circuit, which delivers maximized power density and sustained endurance over the life of the motor.  

"Design News congratulates the winners and finalists of the 2009 Golden Mousetrap Awards for the great work they've done to develop new and innovative products for design engineers. These products showcase the highly imaginative ways that today's engineers are 'building a better mousetrap,' and we thank them for their contributions," says Karen Field, Editor-in-Chief, Design News.
