Allient Inc., a leader in Motion, Controls, and Power products, has announced an expansion of its capabilities in the drone industry. With its advanced technologies and extensive engineering and manufacturing network, Allient aims to address the evolving needs of global drone manufacturers.
Advanced Motion and Power Solutions
Allient leverages decades of engineering expertise and substantial U.S. manufacturing capacity to meet drone system requirements. The company is expanding its technological base to provide enhanced motion and power solutions for unmanned aerial systems (UAS). These solutions include commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) propulsion motors, electronic speed controllers (ESCs), gimbals, propellers, and fully mission-ready kits with integrated power and electronic features.
Drone Market-Specific Solutions
Allient is recognized for its motors and electronic systems used in critical mission applications, producing over five million motors annually. Their drone-specific offerings are designed to minimize weight while maximizing efficiency and torque, with motor sizes ranging from 43mm to 148mm in diameter. The motors feature rugged bearing designs for reliability, various winding options, optimized cooling, and options for electronic drives and controls. Notable features include lightweight technology with superior weight-to-strength ratios and embedded electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding to withstand extreme conditions, which are crucial for defense applications. Allient's drive electronics, manufactured in the USA, benefit from sensorless and sensored field-oriented control (FOC), enhancing flight duration and reducing noise. Additionally, the company offers intelligent diagnostics covering voltage, current, and temperature monitoring, as well as advanced autopilot communication systems.
Allient Structural Composite Technologies
Allient's structural composite technologies enhance drone systems by providing robust solutions for housing and launching multiple drones. These components, designed and manufactured in the USA, meet stringent defense standards and offer customization to fit specific needs, including military platforms with unique key performance indicators (KV) and mechanical features. Utilizing multiple technology units, Allient delivers custom motor and actuator solutions for propulsion and gyro applications.
Evolving Demands of the Drone Market
"Allient is uniquely positioned to provide the technology, design expertise, and global manufacturing capabilities needed to meet the evolving demands of the drone market," stated Richard S. Warzala, Chairman of the Board, President, and CEO at Allient. "By delivering tailored solutions, we enable our customers to achieve their next breakthrough in drone applications."
