Equipmake has unveiled a heavy-duty electric motor with double the continuous power of its predecessor.
The HTM-3500 state-of-the-art e-motor boasts the same peak figures of 3500 Nm and 400 kW as before, but continuous power has been doubled from 100 kW to 200 kW at 2500 rpm.
Thermal management is a major issue in the development of new electronic architectures. Current state-of-the-art heat-exchanger designs are restricted by the use of classic aluminium manufacturing options such as extrusion, forming or roll-bonding, but a new approach from Quarder Group could be about to revolutionise things.
Networked electric vehicle (EV) chargers are part of the burgeoning Internet of Things (IoT), which is connected to electricity grid infrastructure and the banking system through payment apps that handle sensitive personal and financial information.
Frenetic Electronics has launched a global production service for its custom magnetics designs, writes Nick Flaherty.
Frenetic Factory produces inductors, transformers and EMI filters, based on a free web design and analysis tool called Core Optimizer. This uses AI-based algorithms trained by the engineers at Frenetic.
Electric vehicles (EVs) contain large amounts of copper in their motor windings and connective elements such as bus bars. These parts are increasingly exposed to fluids that act as coolants and/or lubricants that, unfortunately, can promote corrosion of that copper and cause failures.
TDK has developed a standardised, modular, DC link capacitor design for traction inverters, writes Nick Flaherty.
The xEVCap is built from modules connected in parallel to provide specific capacitances for powertrain inverters in passenger cars, commercial and
off-highway vehicles.
FRIWO has developed a motor control unit and software specifically for two- and
three-wheel vehicles in Asia, writes Nick Flaherty.
The MC1.5-55A-48V unit has a continuous power output of 1.5 kW for light EVs using permanent magnet synchronous motors (PMSM), making it ideal for electric scooters, motorcycles and other vehicles, particularly in India, Vietnam and Indonesia, and generally in Southeast Asia.
ENNOVI has developed a stackable, multi-row, board-to-board (BTB) automotive connector that snaps together without soldering, writes Nick FlahertyThe ENNOVI-MB2B system uses a proprietary ‘snap-in biscuit’ design, which allows multiple connector units to be stacked together without soldering, and it is reliable enough to use in EVs.
Bdtronic and Hönle have teamed up to develop a solution for dispensing and curing liquid gaskets for cell module controllers using the CPIG method.
Battery sensors play a crucial role in controlling and managing the performance and safety of EV batteries, monitoring temperature to voltage.
Cooper Standard has debuted the first member of its new eCoFlow product line.
The eCoFlow Switch Pump, created in partnership with Saleri Group, offers the features of an electric water pump and an electrically driven valve in a single, integrated, coolant-control module.
