Heritage
Moog Components Group’s experience in designing and manufacturing motion technology components spans over 50 years
and encompasses numerous programs. This extensive history has provided opportunity to develop motion technologies that not
only meet, but exceed the demanding requirements of military and aerospace rated hardware. These efforts include structural
analysis for strength and stiffness through Finite Element Analysis, material analysis for strength and outgassing properties to
NASA requirements and the study of high permeability materials and rare earth magnetics. Motion technology components are
our traditional business and core competence. Integrating these components onto assemblies with bearings and ancillary devices,
such as the potentiometers, brakes and resolvers, is Moog’s expertise as well.

Moog Components Group is a premier technology company with unique design and manufacturing capabilities in electromechanical
and fiber optic products. Moog has a legacy of providing high quality products used in critical defense and space applications.
Over the years, this foundation has expanded into a broad spectrum of commercial applications including medical, industrial
automation and communications.

Moog’s family of motors include brushless and brush DC torque motors, brushless and brush high speed DC motors, servomotors,
toroidal motors, cube motors, sectional motors, linear and stepper motors. We also offer a complete line of resolvers, RVDT’s,
synchros and rotary transformers.

Brushless DC torque motors are known for their high quality, high energy density and ruggedness. In addition to standard
products, Moog creates custom designs for challenging applications. Some of the key features of our brushless DC torque motors
are:
• Higher torque per unit volume
• Higher torque to inertia ratio
• Compact
• Environmental ruggedness
• Superior insulation

Moog offers full support capabilities to compliment our products. This includes an experienced engineering staff of design,
manufacturing, quality and application engineers. We have a complete lab for testing and characterizing products. And we
continually push technology advances through research and development efforts.

Moog’s heritage and expertise in motor design lets us easily transition into a more recent development of alternators. Manufacturing
techniques and tooling are in place, along with engineering tools and expertise.

Alternator Definition
A permanent magnet alternator is a power generating device that produces a sinusoidal output when a mechanical input to its hub
or shaft is applied. This device is constructed very much like a brushless motor with the appropriate selection of insulation materials
and winding to match the environment and application. Essentially, an alternator is to a brushless motor what a tachometer is to a
brush-type motor except that the alternator’s application is power generation instead of rate feedback.
