Moog Animatics Introduces the
Low Temperature Range (LTR) SmartMotor™

LTR Motor

Moog Animatics is pleased to announce the release of its new, Low Temperature Range (LTR) SmartMotor™ in two standard NEMA frame sizes, model SM17205M-LTR (the “LTR-17”) and model SM23165M-LTR (the “LTR-23”). Both motors have been meticulously engineered for robust and reliable operation in extremely frigid environments and at high altitudes.[1]

To achieve this, onboard internal heaters ensure that the motors can start up in temperatures below -40 degrees C. Along with this, other design changes allow these motors to withstand random vibrations up to 6 G RMS, 10-2000 Hz, and standard IP sealing protects the motors from condensation.[2]

These motors come equipped with additional features, such as:

  • Four 5V TTL sourcing inputs (17-frame); three 5V TTL sourcing inputs (23-frame)
  • IP62 sealed (17-frame); IP65 sealed with optional IP67 sealing (23-frame)[3]
  • RS-422 differential communication
  • FAA approved, click fit connector (17-frame)

Plus, the LTR models include Class 5 SmartMotor™ features, such as

  • Integrated drive and controller
  • Position, Velocity or Contouring mode
  • Encoder commutation with trapezoidal, advanced trapezoidal and sine commutation modes
  • Powerful Basic like command language with over 200 operators: motion, IO, program flow, data handling, math, communications
  • Nonvolatile program and data storage
  • And much more

Only the Moog Animatics LTR-17 and LTR-23 motors allow you to have SmartMotor™ capability in a fully integrated, IP-sealed package specifically designed for extremely low temperature and high altitude applications.

Contact Moog Animatics today for more details on how the new LTR SmartMotor™ will simplify development, reduce cost and get your low temperature and high altitude applications to market ahead of the competition.
