Engineers designing high-voltage motors and propulsion systems for today’s e-mobility markets must confront new challenges in thermal management. The more compact and more powerful motor systems with high power density generate intense heat over extended […]
“Sustainable mobility is at the core of our corporate strategy,” says Stephan von Schuckmann, member of the ZF Board of Management responsible for electrified driveline systems. “Based on an extremely efficient production vehicle, we are showing the potential that future electric drive components offer when we combine them into an even more efficient overall system.” The technology is embodied in its EVbeat concept vehicle which is based on a Porsche Taycan and takes leading series technology from ZF and other market players as a benchmark.

Whether the power source is battery or fuel cell, the efficiency and performance of motors are crucial in electromobility. Critical factors in their design and production include stability of the lamination stacks of electrical steel and their impermeability to cooling fluid. Feintool says that its glulock Multiple Dots bonding process promises tight and stable electric motors, even in the high-temperature range prevalent in today’s e-motors. Based in Switzerland, the company develops machinery and processes for both the production of motor laminations as well as fineblanking of bipolar plates for fuel cells. […]
The demand for electric vehicle power electronics will increase dramatically in the next ten years, primarily driven by rapid growth in the battery EV car market, where market analyst IDTechEx of Cambridge, UK, predicts a 15% CAGR globally over the next decade. Currently, the weighted-average battery capacity of BEV cars is increasing in all regions, piling pressure on battery supply chains, and creating uncertainty. The result is that drive cycle efficiency must come to the forefront of powertrain design, meaning the time has come for high voltage wide bandgap power electronics. […]
Focused on evolving from traditional powertrain technology to electric mobility, German motion specialist Schaeffler AG is simultaneously launching several new electric axle drives while also expanding its R&D and manufacturing operations to support product and business growth in electric vehicle technology. […]
DELO has launched an adhesive with exceptionally high temperature stability that it developed primarily for the automotive industry and mechanical engineering applications. The company’s new Monopox HT2999 achieves strengths of 20 MPa at 180 °C which is four times greater than its […]
An oil-cooled e-motor designed for optimizing maximum power in electric vehicles has been developed by automotive supplier FEV. Based on centrifugal cooling, the oil flows under the rotor core and magnets onto the copper windings […]
Motor Design Ltd has released a new version of its Motor-CAD software. Among the enhancements is improved capability for non-linear magnetization which can be an important aspect in assessing whether a motor equipped with permanent […]
