Smart Munition Seeker Head Motor Actuator
Allied Motion engineers designed the super-rugged CM-120 motor actuator to withstand the 10,000 g shock experienced by this new 120 mm smart tank munition.
Three of the CM-120s servo actuate the munition's nose-mounted seeker head to accurately track the target. |

Space Station Torque Motor
Allied Motion engineered a 560 mm (22") housed torque motor-encoder for the International Space Station Centrifuge Accommodation Module (CAM).
The motor will power a 2.5 m (8.2 ft) diameter Centrifuge Rotor (CR) capable of providing artificial gravity levels ranging from 0.001 g to 2 g. The 1875 kg (2 ton) CR will be used in microgravity research. |

Guided Missile Seeker Head Motor-Encoder
Allied Motion engineers designed the CM-900 high resolution motor-encoder actuator to meet the extremely demanding requirements of modern standoff weapons. The CM-900 includes an 18-bit absolute encoder and limited-angle torque motor, and is used to position an imaging infrared seeker, a critical part of the weapon's precision autonomous on-board guidance system.
The encoder has a high bandwidth 2000 Hz (word rate) serial interface for high resolution, high speed positioning. |

Remotely Operated Weapons System Motors
The CROWS (Common Remote Operated Weapons Station) weapons turret allows a gunner to remain protected inside his vehicle while accurately operating a computer-stabilized, laser-aimed weapon.
Allied Motion's Megaflux torque motors power three sets of azimuth and elevation axes in the system, while a Quantum housed servo motor powers the weapon's cocking actuator. |

IED Disposal Military Robot Motors
Improvised Explosive Device (IED) disposal robots need to be rugged and reliable yet easy to maintain.
Allied Motion's engineers developed in just two weeks versions of Allied's Quantum and HT (High Torque) servo motors for the propulsion and arm axes of this application. Allied Motion optimized the motors to maximize torque production at lower speed to give the robots additional power for climbing uneven terrains. |
