Following is a list along with more details on Allied Motion's lines of products:


Brushless Torque Motors
Framless & Housed

Allied Motion offers the CM, HT and Megaflux series of high power density frameless and housed brushless torque motors.

These motors are computer‐designed and ‐optimized to provide the highest torque density available. Special attention has also been given to the minimization of cogging torque in these motors.

These frameless torque motors range in diameter from 19 mm up to 792 mm (0.8 in. ‐ 31.2 in.) and in stall torque up to 2020 Nm (1490 lb‐ft).

Direct integration of these motors onto the driven shaft eliminates the torsional resonance and backlash issues associated with traditional coupling and gearing mechanics.

The housed torque motors range in diameter from 66 mm up to 355 mm (2.6 in. ‐ 14 in.) and in stall torque up to 213 Nm (1885 lb‐in).

The newest models of Megaflux housed torque motors feature integrated encoders and electronic servo drives in addition to their own bearing system for a very compact, rugged unit that enables easier installation and commissioning than individual component solutions do.

  • Brushless frameless and housed versions, computer-optimized for superior performance
  • Diameters range from 17 to 792 mm (frameless)
  • Peak torque ranges from 0.1 to 1024 Nm
  • Housed versions include robust bearing system, encoder feedback, connectors in a rugged machined aluminum housing
  • Matching servo drives available

Brushless DC Motors
EnduraMax Series

Allied Motion’s EnduraMax brushless DC motors offer cost‐ effective torque, speed and/or position control for a broad range of A&D, commercial and industrial applications.

EnduraMax “s” models are engineered for speed control applications. The E75s and E95s series employ a patented sensorless brushless drive with the ability to start under load and attain over a 20:1 speed range.

EnduraMax “i” models are designed for closed‐loop torque, velocity or position control. They are equipped with an integral high‐count (4096 ppr) magnetic encoder, eliminating the need to add an external position sensor.

EnduraMax “n” models are available with Hall sensors only for use with separate external drives.

Choose from two EnduraMax frame sizes: 75 mm (2.95 in) with up to 375 W and 1.36 Nm (193 oz‐in) continuous output, or 95 mm (3.74 in) with up to 750 W and 2.4 Nm (340 oz‐in) continuous output. E95 models have a standard NEMA 34 interface.

With 12, 24 or 48 VDC windings, an EnduraMax brushless motor is the ideal solution in applications such as mobile HVAC systems, pumps, valves, linear actuators, mobile robots, conveyors and other material handling systems, to name just a few.

Brushless Slotless High Speed Precision Motors
PerformeX Series

Allied Motion’s PerformeX are rare-earth magnet, inner- rotor, slotless, small-frame brushless motors. The patented technology of the PerformeX motors enables them to deliver unprecedented torque and power levels of more than double that available with competitive motors of similar size.

PerformeX motors are specifically designed, including optional autoclavability, to power surgical handpieces, as well as for use in powered limb prosthetics and surgical robot systems.

PerformeX motors are capable of high speed operation to 100,000+ RPM. With our high performance planetary gearheads, speed may be traded for higher output torque delivered at high levels of efficiency.

The stainless steel gearhead body is equal in diameter to that of the motor to ease mechanical adaptation in restricted space applications. Standard ratios are 5:1 and 25:1, but non‐standard ratios are available as well.
