Reduces Complexity & Cost, Improves Performance, Supports Next-Gen Architectures
DETROIT, MI / ACCESS Newswire / June 16, 2026 / Leggett Dynamics today launched its Smart Brushless Motor, a next-generation motion system that simplifies design and vehicle integration, improves NVH and durability and supports evolving software architectures across seating and other motion-control applications.
Less Complexity, More Capability
Unlike conventional systems, Leggett Dynamics' Smart Brushless Motor can operate with or without a seat-level electronic control unit (ECU), enabling direct communication from the vehicle-level ECU to individual actuators. This streamlined approach supports the industry shift toward more centralized or zonal architectures and enables simplified, scalable integration across multiple seat configurations and trim levels with varying actuator counts.
In addition, the motor's design reduces packaging size, weight, and wiring complexity while enhancing sound, durability, and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) performance.
