Fully integrated servo motors up to 1kW. SmartMotors reduce installation space, complexity and development time of your machine.

About Moog Animatics

A SmartMotor is an integrated servo motor, where the drive, controls, IO, program and encoder are built into the motor.

What makes the Moog Animatics SmartMotor™ by far the most powerful integrated servo motor in the industry is its unique ability to control an entire machine. The SmartMotor is not just a motor; it is a complete motion control system and the result of an innovative design philosophy. The unsurpassed programming ease, networking capability, highly flexible and expandable I/O, and high power density servo performance is exactly what you should expect from the pioneer and recognized global leader of truly integrated motion control.

The simplicity and ease of use goes beyond just “compactness;” it results in overall reduced machine development time (shortening time-to-market), lower total machine cost, greater field reliability, and simplified machine design and build time, eliminating heavy procurement and support activities.

  • Animatics – Class 5 M Style

    The Class 5 SmartMotor™ is a highly programmable, fully integrated servo motor system that incorporates a motor, an encoder, an amplifier, a controller, serial communication, and IOs in one compact package. They also feature fieldbus communications options and optional Combitronic™ technology, which allows a network of SmartMotors to become one, giant parallel-processing system. All D-style SmartMotor™ have a primary RS-232 communications port, 7 channels 5V TTL non-isolated I/O, optional 10 channels expanded 24 VDC isolated I/O, dedicated encoder out, Combitronic communications option, fieldbus communication options, and much more.

  • Animatics – Class 6 D Style

    The Class 6 D-Style SmartMotor, with its extended power range (up to 1 kW) in the same compact package of the Class 5 series, provides improved torque density to increase performance without affecting the overall design of the machine. These enhanced capabilities are combined with Industrial Ethernet connectivity, a “battery-less” multi-turn absolute encoder that ensures no position loss if power is dropped, along with precise motion control, enabling extreme design flexibility for any application.

  • Animatics – Class 6 M Style

    The Class 6 M-Style SmartMotor lineup includes EtherCAT® (EEC option), PROFINET® (EPN option), and EtherNet/IP™ (EIP option) versions. These motors are designed for maximum performance and connectivity. They incorporate a high-end, high-speed processor for exceptional performance, data update rates are as fast as 1 millisecond. There are dual industrial Ethernet ports onboard (no hub or switch required), as well as connections for RS-485 and USB. Additionally, they provide plenty of I/O, with the option to add more through an external expander, for easy integration into any system. The MT2 motors are fully IP sealed (IP65 or IP67 depending on options) for use in wet or washdown environments.
