Vehicle Motion Solutions

Allied Motion’s products and systems are in use around the world in a very wide range of vehicle-related applications such as AGV traction, ATV and automotive steering, on and off-highway equipment HVAC, patient and handicapped transport, and fire control, and agriculture and turf equipment subsystems to name just a few.

How to Select the Right Drive for Automated Vehicles

Agriculture Equipment Auxiliary Systems

Agriculture equipment like the windrower shown here are becoming increasingly electrified with the incorporation of brush and brushless electric motor-powered accessories.

All Terrain Tracked Wheelchair

The Trackchair™ is a unique zero-turn-radius, all-terrain wheelchair developed to enable wheelchair-bound people, including veterans, to enjoy the freedom of getting off-road.

ATV Power Steering Assist Actuator

Electronic Power-Assisted Steering (EPAS) is found today in many off-road sports and utility ATVs as well as their on-road counterparts.

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.

Construction Equipment HVAC Systems

Off-road vehicles like construction equipment require high levels of reliability and durability. Equipment downtime is a very costly event for machines that oftentimes must run 16 hours per day, or more, seven days per week.

Drive-by-Wire Control System

Drive-by-wire technology, such as used in the Novanta concept car shown here, replaces the heavy, cumbersome power-hungry traditional mechanical and hydraulic components with accurate, efficient electro-mechanical control systems.

Fuel Cell Cooling System

Allied Motion has helped to develop advanced vehicle propulsion systems, such as Ford’s Focus FCV (Fuel Cell Vehicle) prototype shown here.

GPS-based Agricultural Vehicle Steering

One of the most successful tools available for modern precision farming is the GPS-based steering system.

Heavy-Duty Truck HVAC Air Moving Systems

HVAC systems in “million-mile” trucks are required above all else to be reliable and quiet. The heart of these systems is motor used to power the blower or fan subsystem, which needs to be unquestionably reliable and provide very long service life.

High Performance Racing Fuel Pump

High performance vehicles such as drag racers require consistent high rates of fuel delivery to avoid mid-track “lay down” due to a lack of sufficient fuel. For example, an 800-HP engine needs more than 0.1 gallon every second of a run.

High Performance Racing Motorcycle Alternator

Minimizing total engine mass In racing motorcycles is of paramount importance because ever extra ounce reduces acceleration, and, hence, performance. Designers are therefore very keen to shed any unnecessary mass.

Material Handling Carts & AGVs

Material movement in factories and warehouses is becoming easier and safer with the advent of robotic material handling carts.

Patient Transport Equipment

Developers of a new-concept patient transfer bed – a motorized gurney with a built-in transfer belt that enables a single caregiver to transfer a patient within a medical facility without having to physically lift the patient – sought Allied Motion’s assistance to motorize the 1400 lb. bed.

Powered Pusher/Puller Cart Assistant

Small, powered pusher and tugger vehicles are being used increasingly in commercial and industrial settings for their productivity gains, and the worker safety and injury reduction they afford.

Recreational Vehicle Convenience Systems

Modern RVs and personal luxury buses pack a lot of “at-home” conveniences into a small space through the use of electrically-powered systems like slide-outs, bed stows, lifts, jacking, awning systems, heating/cooling and water pumping systems.

Train Door Operators

Allied Motion is a leading supplier of actuator motors and gear motors to tough applications such as door operators in the light rail and passenger train market.

Vessel Engine Oil Change System Pump

Changing crankcase oil for inboard mounted marine power plants, whether in a large yacht or smaller pleasure boats, is a difficult, dirty job.

High speed power boat with hydraulic steering-assist

Watercraft Hydraulic Power Steering

Manual steering of power boats becomes difficult the larger and more powerful the boat, especially those outfitted with multiple engines.

Wheelchair & Scooter Auto Lift

Transporting and handling medical equipment is made easier using specialized equipment designed for the purpose such as the wheelchair/scooter lift shown here.
