Electric Motor
Overview
Electric machines are the key components in drive systems that convert electrical power (current) into mechanical torque. The drive systems can be used in motoring and generating modes, maximising energy recuperation and consequently vehicle range.
Features
- Permanent magnet traction drive systems with excellent torque density and minimum loss
- Asynchronous machines: cost effective, low loss at low load conditions, thermally stable
- Hybrid machines combining benefits from different machine types to achieve low cost and high performance
- Internal, external and axial rotor geometries can be accommodated
Benefits
- Zero Emission operation
- Compact design
- High performance density
- NVH optimised design
