5 Considerations to Optimize Frameless Motors in Aerospace & Defense Applications

From design through deployment, a successful aerospace and defense program depends on efficient prototyping, cost-effective production and reliable supply. For these reasons, engineers prefer to specify motors that are readily available and affordable. Yet commercial off-the-shelf motors may not always meet the demands of stabilized platforms and actuators that must perform flawlessly under the most extreme conditions.

Higher shock loads. Optimized motor windings. A larger through-bore aspect ratio. How do you achieve these and other specialized motor attributes on a rapid development schedule, with assurance of meeting cost and supply requirements for a program that may be in service for decades?

Motion for Missiles: Optimizing Performance

Missile systems continue to evolve to meet specialized needs — from tactical guided missiles to longer-range strategic weapons, each designed for launch from a particular platform to reach a particular target. Defense contractors are under pressure to design and produce ever more sophisticated systems in greater quantities to meet today’s national and global security needs.

Electro Optic Infrared Systems

Electro-Optical/Infrared systems require smooth, responsive motion perfectly coordinated between azimuth and elevation axes. To acquire and hold a steady image, motion systems must endure and counteract forces such as the pounding of land vehicles in action, the turbulence of aircraft in flight, and the extreme conditions encountered at sea or even in space.
