MOOG

Moog Animatics, part of Moog Inc., is the pioneer and world leader in fully integrated servo technology.

Founded in 1987 in Silicon Valley and acquired by Moog in 2011, the company invented the SmartMotor™ – a programmable servo motor that integrates motor, multi-turn absolute encoder, amplifier, controller, I/O, and network communications in a single compact body. SmartMotors are available in NEMA 17, 23, and 34 frame sizes up to 1 kW, with IP62 to IP67 ratings, Combitronic™ multi-axis networking, and low-temperature versions down to -46 °C.

Applications span semiconductor, automotive, aerospace, life sciences, packaging, and robotics. International offices in Germany and Japan.

The SmartMotor™ concept – simplicity that scales

The SmartMotor™ integrates every element of a servo axis into a single compact body, enabling machine builders to replace entire motion control cabinets with distributed intelligence mounted directly on each axis. Combitronic™ multi-axis networking allows instant synchronisation over existing wiring with zero additional hardware.

Whether you work in semiconductor handling, life sciences, packaging, aerospace, or robotics, the SmartMotor™ delivers:

• NEMA 17 / 23 / 34 Frame Sizes: Scalable torque from miniature precision applications up to 1 kW continuous.
• IP62–IP67 Sealed Models: Washdown-rated for food processing, pharmaceutical, and outdoor environments.
• Low Temperature Range (LTR): Operates reliably down to -46 °C for cold storage, outdoor, and cryogenic applications.
• Combitronic™ Networking: Multi-axis synchronisation with no master controller required.
• Programmable via SMI: Intuitive software environment for motion program development and real-time diagnostics.
