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. |

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. |

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. |

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. |

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. |
