Leggett Dynamics Unveils Smart Brushless Motor to Reduce Size, Weight and Wiring Complexity
LEG•Leggett Dynamics introduced its Smart Brushless Motor, reducing packaging size, weight and wiring complexity while improving NVH, durability and EMC performance in seating motion systems. The motor enables direct vehicle-level ECU control, supports zonal architectures and delivers quieter, smoother seat adjustments for EVs and software-defined vehicles.
1. Product Launch
Leggett Dynamics has launched its Smart Brushless Motor, a next-generation motion system designed to simplify design and vehicle integration for seating applications. The new motor operates with or without a seat-level ECU, enabling direct communication from the vehicle-level ECU to individual actuators and streamlining hardware across multiple seat configurations.
2. Technical Advantages
The motor's design reduces packaging size, weight and wiring complexity while enhancing noise, vibration and harshness (NVH), durability and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC). These engineering gains translate into quieter operation, smoother seat adjustment, faster memory recall and a wider range of motion for vehicle occupants.
3. Market Implications
By supporting centralized and zonal electronic architectures and addressing growing demand for quiet, scalable systems, the Smart Brushless Motor aligns with OEM transitions toward software-defined vehicles and mixed propulsion portfolios. Leggett Dynamics aims to capitalize on EV cabin quietness requirements and hardware commonization across platforms.
