Maximum Controls MX052 Brushless DC Replacement Motor

Brushless DC Replacement Motor for Maximum Controls Operators

The MX052 is the genuine OEM replacement brushless DC motor for Maximum Controls gate operators produced between 2013 and 2018, covering both slide gate and swing gate platforms. Confirmed compatible models include the MAX 2200 PRO, MAX 1700 FS, MAX F18 PRO, Megatron 2200 HP, Phantom F6, and Phantom 2000. Mounting inline on top of the operator gearbox, the MX052 restores the brushless DC drive system to factory specification without replacing the gearbox, chain drive, or control board. This is a motor-only part; the operator unit and all other operator components are not included.

The MX052 brushless DC motor uses Hall Effect magnetic sensing to sample gate position at over 30 points per inch of travel, giving the operator control board the continuous positional feedback needed to execute precise speed ramp-up and ramp-down at both ends of the gate cycle. This reduces mechanical stress on the drive components across the life of the installation. In dual-operator configurations, the Hall Effect sensors synchronize both gates at matched speeds through the full travel arc. The motor also incorporates a dynamic magnetic brake that arrests gate movement instantly on obstacle contact, working in addition to the operator's ERD force detection system. Maximum Controls rates the MX052 at an output torque equivalent to a 1-1/4 HP AC motor, a maximum operating temperature of 165°F (74°C), and a service life of approximately 35,000 hours, which equates to approximately 6 million cycles.

Key Features

• Genuine Maximum Controls OEM replacement motor covering both slide gate and swing gate operator platforms produced between 2013 and 2018
