| High Performance Racing Motorcycle Alternator In racing motorcycles, engine mass is of paramount importance, because every extra ounce reduces acceleration, and, hence, performance. Designers are therefore very keen to shed any unnecessary mass. Allied Motion engineers helped by redesigned one of their torque motors for use as a racing motorcycle alternator. The new design enabled a reduction in mass of nearly 90% and inertia of about 80%, resulting in a substantially more compact and lighter generator. ? View APPLICATION catalog |

| Boat Gyro Stabilization System Vessel roll caused by rough seas is an experience that can take the fun out of boating. With a dynamic gyro stabilization system on board, however, skippers and passengers can focus on pleasant pursuits on the water. Allied Motion engineers developed a custom Megaflux torque motor and servo drive system to drive the unique Seakeeper Gyro stabilization system. The motor and custom servo drive spin the gyro flywheel, contained in a vacuum chamber, at high constant speed. ? View APPLICATION catalog |

| Heavy-Duty Truck HVAC Air Moving Systems HVAC systems in million-mile trucks (and in larger farm and construction vehicles) are required above all else to be reliable and quiet. Allied Motion custom-designs and manufactures fan and blower systems, and brush and brushless DC motors specifically to meet the demands of the air-moving and condenser subsystems in these vehicles. ?

| Drive-by-Wire Control System Motors Drive-by-wire technology, such as used in the Novanta concept car shown here, replaces the heavy, cumbersome traditional mechanical and hydraulic components with accurate, efficient electro-mechanical control systems. Allied Motion supplied customized brushless torque motors for integration into the steering and braking systems of this car. ? View APPLICATION catalog |

| Automotive LPG System Pump Motors As environmental concerns rise and the use of alternative fuels is encouraged, Liquid Petroleum Gas (LPG) systems are increasingly being deployed in taxis, transit buses, and similar vehicle fleets. The pump, internal to the LPG tank, is a critical element in LPG (Autogas) systems. Allied Motion engineers developed custom versions of our small brushless DC motors with integrated drive electronics specifically to meet the unique demands of Autogas systems. These systems are deployed widely around the globe helping to reduce vehicle emissions. ? View APPLICATION catalog |

| Fuel Cell Cooling System Pump Motor & Drive Allied Motion is helping to develop advanced vehicle propulsion systems, such as Ford's Focus FCV (Fuel Cell Vehicle) shown here. The Focus FCV uses our digital drives and brushless motors in the cooling pump and fan systems. Allied Motion companies are also involved in a number of other next generation automotive applications, including drive-by-X. ? View APPLICATION catalog |

| High Performance Racing Fuel Pump Motor High performance drag racers and similar "muscle" cars require consistent high rates of fuel delivery to avoid mid-track "lay down" due to lack of sufficient fuel. An 800-HP engine needs more than 0.1 gallon every second of a run, for example. Allied Motion works with fuel pump system manufactures to provide DC motors for their high performance electric fuel pumps that meet the stringent demands of high performance vehicles. ?

| Construction Equipment Cab HVAC Blowers & Motors Off-road vehicles like construction equipment require the highest level of reliability and durability. Equipment downtime is a very costly event for machines that oftentimes must run 16 hours per day, seven days per week. Allied Motion's design team developed a product line to meet these extreme operating requirements that provides extended life, improved noise suppression, excellent shock and vibration resistance, and improved water sealing characteristics. ?
