Small propeller aircraft benefit from a two-speed pump that maintains fuel pressure during cruise and boosts fuel delivery for takeoff and landing.
Autonomous Vehicle Laser Sensor
DARPA ’s annual Urban Challenge race promotes the advancement of autonomous vehicle technology.
Auxiliary Unit Fuel Pump
For gas turbine engines in aircraft APUs operating at high rpm, key design parameters include fuel pump frequency response and reliability.
Bionic Prosthetic Arm
Through a DARPA program, an Allied Motion customer developed an anthropomorphic prosthetic limb offering patients dexterous control and a sense of touch.
Dual-Arm Military Robot
Mounted on the robot's mobile base, this dual-arm manipulator can lift 110 lb (50 kg) and handle various field missions with human-like abilities.
IED Disposal Military Robot
IED disposal robots play a vital role in modern warfare, requiring ruggedness, reliability, lightness, and easy maintenance.
Missile Seeker Optical Motor Encoder
Allied Motion engineers crafted a high-res motor-encoder, limited-angle actuator for smart standoff weapons like the showcased JSOW missile.
Mid-Range Munition Guidance System
The Mid-Range Munition (MRM), fired from tanks, autonomously targets battlefield objectives with pinpoint accuracy up to 8+ km (5+ miles).
Mobile Weapons System
CROWS (Common Remote Operated Weapons Station) enables gunners to stay protected while accurately controlling a laser-aimed weapon from inside vehicles.
Mobile SATCOM Motion System
Advanced motion systems enable accurate satellite tracking, facilitating broadband communications with on-the-move vehicles on land, sea, and air.
Space Station Experiment Module
Allied Motion designed a custom 560 mm (22 in.) torque motor with encoder for the International Space Station to power a 2.5 m (8.2 ft) centrifuge rotor.
Multi-Mission Military Robot
The Warrior robot handles heavy payloads and various missions like EOD, route clearing, and reconnaissance, navigating rough terrain and stairs effortlessly.
UAV Gimbal Motion Control
High-performance micro-gimbals with inertial stabilization tech are used on land-based and aerial platforms like the military UAV Predator.
Pilot Cooling System Pump
