The Elliptecmotor creates new possibilities in the toy industry. The expectations of consumers regarding product functionality and realism are growing and designers need to meet them with low costs. Motion and drive systems already represent a major cost factor.
The Elliptecmotor offers a cost-effective and powerful alternative. It fulfills all requirements that manufacturers of modern action or learning toys have
• light weight
• minimal space requirements
• robustness
• high precision
• realistic motions
• integrated friction clutch
• low electric current requirements
• excellent responsiveness
• versatility
• integrated sensor functions
• integrated speech and sound generation
Some applications use the Elliptecmotor even for generating vibrations that can be felt – a unique play experience - all that at minimal system cost.
Pantograph of a Model-Locomotive
Using the Elliptecmotor, Märklin und Cie. GmbH, Göppingen, have created a world novelty. The Series 103 train model can now realistically raise and lower its pantograph, a novelty on H0 gauge.
The Elliptecmotor is perfectly tailored to the critical and tight space inside the model. Due to the intrinsically integrated friction clutch, this adult toy is also safe for children. Meanwhile, the technology is also available in the Series 152 models and in several coach models.
More realism and close attentionto detail make the heart of a model train enthusiast beat faster. This innovation further cemented Märklin’s reputation as a technological market leader and provided them with tangible cost advantages.
