ARRI cforce MAX lens motor

The New cforce MAX from ARRI is light, small and fast. It is twice as fast and just as powerful as the cforce Plus motor it replaces, yet is 15% smaller and lighter. The cforce MAX can work together with cforce Mini and cforce Mini RF.

MAX is useful when working with large and stiff primes, zooms and vintage lenses that need extra motor torque.

MAX’s smaller size is helpful when rigging the camera for handheld, remote, gimbal and other configurations where distances between lens motors becomes cramped.

The new ARRI Motor Rod Clamp MRC-1 is tenacious on 19 mm and 15 mm rods. It won’t loosen or slip easily. (By the way, the MRC-1 clamp also pairs nicely with cforce Mini and cforce Mini RF motors.)

The cforce MAX has a brushless motor. It is quiet, durable and easy to service. Motor response is almost instantaneous. Top speed is 400 teeth-per-second—great for snap zooms and rapid rack focus from M.O.D. to infinity.

The cforce MAX has a tactile button to control main functions such as changing the motor direction. The touchscreen display enables intuitive configuration and status monitoring directly on the unit.

Additional functions may be possible in the future.

Like the other cforce motors, MAX has two LBUS ports so you can daisy-chain motors together using standard cables. MAX works with most ARRI mounting brackets, rods and drive gears.
