Defense
For motion that must work perfectly the first time, under all circumstances.
Reliable motion in mission-critical systems
In defense applications, you work with systems that must perform under extreme pressure. They are compact and lightweight, yet exceptionally reliable. They often operate in harsh environments with temperature fluctuations, shocks, and vibrations. At the same time, you expect every component to do exactly what it is supposed to do, every single time.
When precision is critical to success
Defense systems are evolving rapidly. Development cycles are becoming shorter, while demands for performance, precision, and reliability continue toincrease. At the same time, applications are becoming smaller, lighter, and less visible, for example in drones and counter-drone systems. This places high demands on motors, drives, and actuators.
Camera and sensor systems are also becoming increasingly important. Pan/tilt and gimbal systems must respond quickly, remain stable, and position with absolute accuracy. The quality of motion directly determines the performance and deployability of the complete defense system.
Designed for certification, reliability, and long service life
Defense applications require solutions that are designed from the start to meet stringent requirements. Certification, reliability, and long service life play a central role in this.
Key considerations include:
- Certification and qualification: Systems must comply with standards such as MIL-STD-810 for temperature, shock, and vibration.
- Reliability and long service life: Components must operate reliably and failure-free over extended periods.
- Supply assurance and origin: Many projects require components that are partially or fully Made in EU.
- Long-term product availability: Due to the long lifecycle of defense systems, it is essential that products remain available over the long term.
By addressing these aspects early in the design phase, Eltrex Motion helps reduce risks and prevent delays later in the process.
From engineering to qualified solution
Eltrex Motion supports you from the very first design phase. We collaborate on motion control, drive technology, and system architecture, while integrating MIL-STD-810 certification and reliability requirements directly into the design. This helps prevent redesigns, delays, and additional testing later in the process.
Because defense projects almost always require customization, we develop customer-specific solutions. This includes PCB design, system integration, and complete subsystems. We work with high-quality components with high MTBF values, and through in-house development we can fully guarantee quality. From design to production and assembly, you have a single technical point of contact.
Proven solutions in the field
Eltrex Motion supports defense projects with proven motion solutions for mission-critical applications. Below are several examples of applications we have previously worked on:
- Gun lock actuator
- Firewall controller for turrets
- Launcher platforms
- Pan/tilt and gimbal systems for cameras
