Servo products designed to
meet military requirements
Elmo Motion Control’s ExtrIQ delivers an intelligent and durable servo
solution for demanding military applications and extreme environments
Inmoco has announced availability of the new Elmo Motion
Control ExtrIQ servo product family for military applications
operating in extreme environmental conditions. The product
family consists of intelligent digital servo drives and
powerful analogue amplifiers, which are MIL standard-compliant
and highly durable. ExtrIQ offers a compact solution with optimal
performance across a wide temperature range (–40°C to
+70°C), as well as operation in high humidity and at extreme
altitudes. The products are also tested against intense vibration
of over 15G and offer high resistance to mechanical shocks.
ExtrIQ's versatility and resilience provides support for a broad
range of demanding applications requiring tough and reliable
motion control solutions. Typical applications will include
military ground mobile, naval, nautical, aviation, aerospace,
missile weaponry, specialised laboratory automation, oil refining,
unmanned vehicles and satellite communications. The ExtrIQ
drives offer high power density between 10W to 9kW, in the
operating voltage range 10V-200V, and have a current carrying
capacity of up to 200A continuous and 400A peak. The
compactness of the products ensures a cost-effective solution for
both OEMs and users.
Compliance with military standards
ExtrIQ has been tested using methods and procedures specified
in a variety of Extended Environmental Conditions directives. The
standards with which ExtrIQ complies include: MIL-STD-810
Environmental Engineering Considerations and Laboratory Tests;
MIL-STD-1275 Characteristics of 28V DC Electrical Systems in
Military Vehicles; MIL-STD-704 Aircraft, Electric Power
Characteristics; MIL-STD-461 Requirements for the Control of
Electromagnetic Interference Characteristics of Subsystems and
Equipment; MIL-HDBK-217 Reliability Prediction of Electronic
Equipment; and ISO-9001: 2000.
The ExtrIQ servo drives are based on Elmo's intelligent
SimplIQ motion control technology, which provides a wide range
of feedback options, programming capabilities, communications
protocols, and superior motion control technology with a fully
digital motion controller, which features current, velocity and
position loops.
