Reliable Drive Solutions for Extreme Operating Conditions

Harmonic Drive® products are designed to meet the highest requirements for use under the harshest environmental conditions, such as extreme temperatures or other special climatic conditions. Applications in defence, vacuum or cryogenic technology as well as in the depths of our oceans are often confronted with such extreme conditions where the integrated components have to prove themselves once again.

Sea Applications

Sea Applications

Surface

Remote Controlled Weapon Stations (RWS/RCWS) must withstand extreme conditions in maritime environments - such as corrosive salt water, changing temperature zones, heat or frost. In addition, there are application related challenges such as shock and vibration. Our AlopexDrive- and CPU Series are ideal system components for this.

Land Applications

Land Applications

Wheeled vehicles

A key advantage of AlopexDrive drive solutions is their high degree of integration, low complexity when integrated into existing systems, and specially developed DC servo motor. The electric actuator complies with military standards and offers protection against corrosion, shocks and vibrations, as well as all other adverse environmental conditions. Its minimal electromagnetic emissions also prevent detection by other units. Our AlopexDrive and CPU series are ideal system components for this application.

UAVs

UAVs (unmanned aerial vehicles) must function reliably under demanding operating conditions – with strong vibrations, rapid load changes, large temperature differences and limited installation space. At the same time, they require maximum precision, low weight and maximum efficiency. Our AlopexDrive series is a powerful system component for this application.

Harmonic Drive® in the Defence industry

High demands on components

An increasing demand for precision drive technology is developing in the area of special environments, also known as ""harsh environments"". In addition to the highest precision and high torque density, the reliability of components is particularly crucial under extreme conditions, as components cannot be easily replaced during operation - whether in the air, underwater or during a military mission. 

Wide range of applications and expert advice

Whether in the air, on land or in the water - non-standard drive solutions are used under extreme conditions and are subject to immense demands. Expert advice on the choice of components is of great importance. In individual cases, we will be pleased to check with you which properties are required for optimum integration and functionality in complete systems, thus creating the ideal solution for your application.
