Leggett Dynamics Unveils Innovative Smart Brushless Motor

Leggett Dynamics has introduced its Smart Brushless Motor, aimed at streamlining vehicle integration while enhancing NVH, durability, and software compatibility. This motor reduces complexity by allowing operation without a seat-level ECU, directly communicating from vehicle-level ECUs to individual actuators. This innovation supports the shift to centralized architectures, facilitating scalable integration across diverse seat configurations.

The motor's design contributes to reduced size, weight, and wiring intricacy, improving sound, durability, and EMC performance. It promises enhanced in-cabin experiences with quieter operations, smoother adjustments, quicker memory recall, and broader motion ranges.

As the automotive sector transitions to software-defined vehicles, this solution supports quiet and scalable systems, particularly in EVs. The Smart Brushless Motor will be showcased at events in Nagoya and Stuttgart in June 2026.
