Optimising Electric Motors for Off-Highway
Read our latest blog to find out how we are optimising electric motors for off-highway applications
When it comes to off-highway applications electric motors must be versatile enough to handle a wide range of power demands while delivering reliability in challenging operating environments.
In response, we’ve developed a next-generation electric motor designed specifically for the off-highway sector. It delivers exceptional power density and torque in a compact, robust package.
Our PMAC motors combine a permanent magnet radial flux architecture with advanced cooling options and a simplified component structure.
Their innovative design is supported by Electrified’s IP-protected, automated manufacturing platforms. This means our production process is customisable, responsive and scalable to meet individual customer requirements, and ensures every motor meets the highest standards of quality and performance.
Robust Design
Electrified Motors’ 193 and 132 Series have a classic radial flux cylindrical design and are built to endure shock loads, vibration and long duty-cycles.
The PMAC motors are also IP69K rated to prevent water ingress, ensuring reliable performance during high-pressure washdowns and operations in off-highway environments.
Cost Effective
An industrialised design and less materials in the motor architecture offers a strong commercial offering for customers. Our electric motors are also rigorously tested for shock and vibration with extreme thermal cycling, minimising equipment downtime in the field and ongoing maintenance costs.
Power Dense in a Compact Package
Electrified’s IPM motors are typically a third of the size of typical induction motors and offer increased power and torque density when compared to other competing PMAC motors.
Versatile Compatibility
With voltages from 24V to 800V Electrified support a wide range of low to medium power vehicles and equipment. A standard Electrified PMAC motor can also be used in many different applications with minor customisation and easily integrated with pumps, axles, gearboxes, generators and more.
Customisable, Responsive Manufacturing
Limitless customisation for distributors enables low, medium and high volume manufacturing. Our production can grow and scale with your business, and responsive manufacturing means shorter lead times and the ability to create customised parts fast.
Winding Innovation
Electrified Motors has a strong heritage in innovating advanced automated manufacturing platforms. Our technology is IP-protected and not available anywhere else in the marketplace.
The winding processes utlilise on-edge winding technology optimised for manufacturability and performance. The results are the lowest possible AC losses, reduced copper mass and increased copper fill.
This delivers the best solution for cooling as each turn is equally cooled thereby reducing hot spots. It also achieves a higher motor efficiency and torque density at lower cost.
Conclusion
Our team of innovators at Electrified Motors have developed an electric motor for off-highway OEMs to have it all: A durable, power dense electric motor in a compact package compatible with a range of cooling and control systems.
