Electromechanical Linear Actuators

Gun/Turret/Radar Drives for Land systems

Moog’s electromechanical linear actuators are designed to meet or exceed the demanding requirements of new and existing land system gun, turret, and radar applications through world-class stabilization and pointing accuracy. These actuators are used for modern main battle tanks, new combat vehicle platform control applications, howitzer gun laying systems, elevation of heavy payloads, and for the leveling of military ground vehicles such as trailers, light trucks, and palleted weapon systems.

Overview

Features include a brushless DC motor which can be integrated in a 28 VDC system up to a 600 VDC system. A roller screw, ball screw, or acme screw is used for linear output. The actuator features a failsafe clutch, manual drive, and no-back.

Moog is a worldwide designer, manufacturer, and integrator of custom precision motion control and stabilization systems for the defense industry. Our electromechanical rotary and linear actuators are ideal for new systems, upgrades to older hydraulic systems, and for sustainment service.
