Moog Introduces DB Matrix Series COTS
Brushless DC Torque Motors
Moog brushless torque motors are designed to operate over a range of speeds for a wide
variety of military, aerospace and industrial applications. Different applications require unique
configurations of mounting flanges, housings, output shafts and electrical requirements. Our
motors have high torque-to-power and torque-to-inertia ratios, high linearity and low electrical
time constants. Reliability and long life are hallmarks of our products.
Moog Defence Components Continue to Make Advances
in Europe
Moog slip ring manufacturing in Europe continues to make advances in the
defence market space. Defence customers are relying on Moog to provide
world class slip ring technology for air, land and sea platforms.
Moog was recently chosen to provide COTS based, ITAR free slip rings and
motors for a family of panoramic stabilized sights for land and navy platforms.
The customer had an existing long-term relationship with Moog and trusted
Moog’s expertise. The customer was impressed by competitive pricing, short
lead time, size and performance of the products. Due to Moog’s heritage on
defence platforms, our products met the customers rugged specifications.
For rotary wing platforms, Moog was asked to develop and qualify a slip ring for a new gyro-stabilised optronic payload. The slip
ring will be used for the amimuth axis control. The new design will be very compact compared to traditional slip ring solutions. The
customer chose Moog based on past teaming experiences and Moog’s experience of electro-optical systems.
Ethernet and High Definition Video Slip Rings
Moog’s Ethernet slip ring solutions were developed to provide reliable products for the
transfer of Ethernet protocol through a rotating interface. Innovative designs meet
the challenge of matching impedance, controlling crosstalk and managing losses. A
wide range of product solutions are offered with combinations of data and power in
multiple mechanical configurations to meet most any application need. Applications
such as 10/100/1000BaseT transmission, motion control, video over Ethernet and CCTV
IP-surveillance are available.

Rotary and Linear Actuators and Controls
Moog is an industry leader in the design and production of high performance linear and
rotary electromechanical actuators for aerospace and defence applications. They are used
to control flight surfaces and position sensors on aircraft, missiles and space vehicles.
They provide stabilisation and aiming for gun turrets, steer antennas in high bandwidth
communications systems and provide control for various utility applications.
Moog offers precision actuation solutions with brushless motors, planetary gears and
smart servo controllers with integral position control. Utility actuation solutions with DC
motors, spur gears and analogue amplifiers with external position control are also available.
Multi-purpose actuators and servoactuators can be used for a variety of high-performance applications and are standard
building blocks used in a variety of systems.
Moog Position Sensors
A Rotary Variable Differential Transformer (RVDT) is an electromechanical
transducer that provides a variable alternating current (AC) output voltage. RVDTs
utilize brushless, non-contacting technology to ensure long-life and reliable,
repeatable position sensing with infinite resolution. Such reliable and repeatable
performance assures accurate position sensing for flight control actuation, fuel
controls, cockpit controls, nose wheel steering and missile fin actuation, all under
the most extreme operating conditions.
Moog Animatics SmartMotorsTM
Extremely precise positioning of an apparatus is a common challenge in many
industries. Unfortunately, in many cases a system’s environment tends not to
favour any sort of stability in extreme conditions, as in damping a pan and tilt
positioning systems on an autonomous vehicle. SmartMotors are a highly
programmable, integrated servo motor system that is integrated with a motor, an
encoder, amplifier, controller, RS232 / RS485 communication and IOs making
them well suited for precise positioning.
Moog AirMaxTM High Performance Blowers
AirMax fans and blowers provide excellent output power per unit volume through
the use of compact, high energy 3-phase brushless DC motors and efficient airfoil
design. The motor utilises high energy rare earth magnets to provide the blower with
the necessary torque to provide maximum airflow in the minimum amount of space.
• Scavenge fans
• NBC filtration fans
• Vacuum systems
• Smoke removal
• Low noise, high pressure applications

Fibre Optic Devices
Moog Protokraft designs and manufactures electronic and electro-optic components
and subsystems for use in harsh environment networking equipment applications.
Electronic components and subsystems are provided for short and intermediate
reach (1 metre to 20 kilometre) harsh environment communication networks, including
optical network switches, optical enterprise and storage area networks (SAN’ s) and
tactical optical access networks. Network equipment designers receive the benefits
of reduced printed circuit board space, reduced cabling requirements and most
importantly - enhanced system link budgets. Patented core technology enables robust
electronic and optoelectronic components to be packaged directly into cylindrical or
rectangular connector shells. These electronic components are optimized for Fast
Ethernet, Fibre Channel, Gigabit Ethernet, Serial FPDP and 10 Gigabit Ethernet networking applications. Electronic and
optoelectronic components offer numerous cost, performance and reliability advantages to harsh environment network equipment
system designers:
• Eliminate or reduce the complexity of intra-enclosure cable assemblies and disconnects
• Improve high speed signal integrity and EMI performance inside the system chassis
• Reduce weight, space, energy consumption and improve system reliability
• Reclaim system link budgets from interconnection losses
Solenoids
We are experts at designing solenoid solutions for complex actuation requirements.
Our reputation is built on providing solenoid actuators that survive harsh
environments and are reliable for years beyond normal expectations. Often, as
the sole-source provider, we offer innovations and customer support not found
anywhere else. You get the advantage of our best engineering at competitive prices.
Moog supplies solenoids for aerospace, safe and arm devices and spacecraft.
