Moog Unveils Next-Gen Pumps for High-Density Data Center Cooling

East Aurora, NY – At SC26 in Chicago, Nov. 15 – 20, Moog Inc. (NYSE: MOG.A and MOG.B), a worldwide designer, manufacturer, and systems integrator of high-performance precision motion and fluid controls and control systems, will unveil two new models of its CoreMotion^® canned centrifugal liquid-cooling pumps and drive systems designed to improve the cooling capacity and energy efficiency of data center cooling distribution units (CDUs).

As AI workloads drive higher rack power densities, reliable liquid cooling becomes essential to sustaining compute performance. CDU pumps must deliver the required coolant flow and pressure while limiting the power consumed by cooling itself. Moog has engineered its new CoreMotion™ pumps (models CM400 and CM28) to meet these challenges and support cooling in high-density racks.

The CM400 is designed for in-row CDU applications, while the CM28 is intended for in-rack CDUs. Moog’s 181 kg (399 lbs) CM400 has a 37kW electrical power rating, with flow rates of 250 to 500 GPM and pressures of 25 to 112 PSI, and the 7.7 kg (16.9 lbs) lbs with period or no CM28 has a 2.8kW electrical power rating, with flow rate capacity of up to 55.5 GPM and maximum pressure capacity of 72.5 PSI. At booth #4547, Moog’s engineers will show how they designed the pumps for a variety of scenarios, including the Deschutes 5.0 specification for CDUs.

“As processors become more powerful, thermal design power continues to increase, creating new cooling challenges in high-density data centers. Our new canned pump designs help customers manage those thermal loads while improving efficiency and reliability,” says Axel Bokiba, general manager of Data Center Cooling for Moog. “Fluid control is in our DNA, so we’ve developed a new generation of liquid cooling pumps to not only meet new processor demands but also retrofit older data centers.”

The CM400 and CM28 feature a Moog manufactured drive and canned-motor pump architecture that integrates the rotor magnetics and impeller into a single assembly, eliminating rotating shaft seals and reducing potential leak paths. This approach allows for a highly compact unit that minimizes maintenance requirements and supports long-term reliability under the demanding cooling needs of high-density AI infrastructure. Sourcing the pump and drive from Moog simplifies integration and supplier coordination. With its own pump manufacturing facilities in the U.S., Moog can tailor its support to the quickly evolving needs of data centers and CDU manufacturers.Moog’s motion systems, control loading systems, and vibration platform technologies can be integrated into flight simulators and training devices to provide the physical cues needed for realistic pilot training. The Motion System E60 Series delivers motion cueing designed to represent key aircraft dynamics, while control loading systems simulate the forces pilots experience through the flight controls. For rotary-wing applications, vibration platform technology adds characteristic helicopter vibration cues, enhancing the overall training environment.

“We greatly value our longstanding relationship with AMST-Aviation B.V. and appreciate the continued trust they place in Moog,” said Ronald Kortekaas, Sales Manager at Moog. “This selection builds on years of close cooperation. We look forward to supporting these programs and continuing our partnership with the AMST team.”

From initial integration through long-term operation, Moog’s engineering teams and global service network support customers with system validation, maintenance, and lifecycle sustainment.

“Our collaboration with Moog combines complementary expertise in flight simulation,” said Rainer Schlüsselberger, Managing Director at AMST-Aviation B.V. “Moog’s proven technology and our close working relationship are important to the success of these programs. We are pleased to take this next step together.”

Moog and AMST-Aviation B.V. will support the continued advancement of high-fidelity training capabilities for fixed-wing and rotary-wing applications.
