Planetary and spur gearheads
MIM components are used successfully in maxon planetary and spur gearheads. Cog wheels, planet carriers and internal gears are ideal in this case on account of their high-precision design.

Special gearhead
When customer-specific gearhead solutions are developed, metallic injection parts provide specific benefits: with the help of MIM technology, flange plates, for example, can be made quickly and commercially according to individual required shapes. maxon special gearheads are the preferred components in some closing systems.

Air-conditioning in aviation
For safety reasons, no components assembled through compression may be used in aviation. Consequently, valves in airline air-conditioning units are fitted with gearheads that contain die-cast components. Thanks to MIM, it is possible to make a wheel and pinion, for instance, as one part.

Autotuners for electric guitars
Even the music industry has recognised the benefits of metal injection moulding. For example, the autotuner for tuning electric guitars is an application that fully exploits the benefits of MIM technology. The housing contains 6 successive gearhead motor combinations that each tune a guitar string. Manufacturing this type of part would be far too expensive using conventional mechanical processing methods!
