Parvalux: PMDC Standard Range

parvalux PMDC motor

In a Permanent Magnet DC (PMDC) motor, permanent magnets located in the stator provide the magnetic field, instead of it being created in stator windings. This makes them cost-effective with a high starting torque. Parvalux motors can be combined with gearboxes to reduce speed and increase torque to meet your precise requirements.

Why these brands

DNH supplies two complementary ranges. maxon DC motors use a patented ironless rotor for exceptional torque density and smooth running in precision applications. Parvalux PMDC motors use a robust iron-wound rotor for high starting torque, wide voltage range, and long service life in industrial and mobility applications.

Where maxon's ironless rotor delivers unmatched acceleration and precision, Parvalux fills the gap with higher-torque, wider-voltage motors suited to duty cycles in building automation, patient care, and industrial equipment.
