Allient a designer and manufacturer of specialty Motion, Controls and Power products and solutions for targeted industries and applications, announced its expanded capabilities and commitment to the drone market. Building on its proven track record and leveraging advanced technologies and a global network of engineering and manufacturing facilities, Allient is expanding its capabilities to meet the evolving needs of drone manufacturers worldwide.
Allient brings decades of engineering expertise and high-volume U.S. manufacturing to the forefront of drone system requirements. We are expanding our robust technology foundation to deliver advanced motion and power solutions for unmanned aerial systems (UAS), starting with COTS propulsion motors and extending to ESCs, gimbals, propellers, mission-ready kits, and power/electronic solutions.
Allient has an unmatched track record for providing motors and electronics for mission-critical applications, manufacturing more than 5 million motors annually, with drone market-specific solutions that includes:
- Minimised weight, high efficacy and high torque Motors from 43mm to 148mm in diameter with rugged and reliable bearing designs based on proven Allient motors made globally
- Motor winding options from 3Strand to 12Strand and optimised cooling for thrust applications
- Designed with or without electronic drive and control capabilities
- Lightweighting technology with superior weight-to-strength ratios, no weld joints or seams, and embedded EMI shielding while supporting extreme environmental conditions, including defence applications
- Efficient and lightweight drive electronics with sensorless- and sensored-FOC manufactured in the USA, enabling longer flight times and quieter operation
- Intelligent diagnostics, including voltage, current, temperature, vibration, throttle-loss, and battery current
- High-performance autopilot communication, including DroneCAN, Ardupilot, Piccolo, Veronte, and Single Pair Ethernet (SPE)
Designed, built, and supported in the USA, our components meet the demanding standards of Défense applications. What sets us apart is not only the performance and availability of our products, but our ability to customise and optimise them for each application, including military drone platforms, special KV, and mechanical features.
Multiple Allient Technology Units work together to provide BLDC inner/outer rotor, axial air gap, and custom motor and actuator solutions for propulsion and gyro applications. Additionally, Allient structural composite technologies are deployed in nest designs to house and launch multiple drones from a platform.
“Allient is uniquely positioned to provide the technology, design expertise, and global manufacturing capabilities needed to meet the evolving demands of the drone market,” said Richard S. Warzala, Chairman of the Board, President and CEO at Allient. “By delivering tailored solutions, we enable our customers to achieve their next breakthrough in drone applications.”
