Low-cost synchronous reluctance motor with integrated drive for industrial applications
The Synchronous Reluctance Motors (SRMs) are increasingly being used in industrial applications as an alternative to the traditional induction motors and permanent magnet (PM) motors. These motors present many advantages that concern...
Automatic two-speed hub motor for folding e-bikes
Honor is expanding its mobility portfolio with the Honor Choice Folding E-Bike ADO Air 20 Pro, a compact urban e-bike built around a 250 W BAFANG rear-hub motor featuring an integrated automatic...
A superconducting axial‑flux motor designed for aviation use
Researchers at the University of Strathclyde’s Applied Superconductivity Laboratory have demonstrated a 100 kW fully superconducting axial‑flux motor designed for aviation use. The prototype is described as one of the first attempts...
Development and validation of emissions homologation procedures for hybrid and electric vehicles
The evolution of vehicle powertrains from conventional internal combustion engines to hybrid and electric systems has significantly increased the complexity of emissions testing and regulatory compliance. In this work, present scenario of...
Estimation of the internal thermal distribution of electric motors
Modern electric motors are becoming increasingly compact, lightweight and high-performance. This trend brings with it a growing challenge: overheating. When a motor has to deliver high power within a small enclosure, internal...
Additive manufacturing is reshaping coil design
Additive manufacturing is reshaping coil design, unlocking new performance gains, and connecting research with real-world production. Anna Ermakova, Senior research associate at University of Bristol’s School of Electrical, Electronic and Mechanical Engineering, explains this in...
Together in the field of power electronics, electrical machines and electrical drives
CMAEL is the Italian association that brings together researchers and academics in the field of electrical converters, machines and drives. The non-profit association is committed to promoting scientific research in the fields...
Synchronous reluctance motors for household appliances
The Synchronous Reluctance motor is a particular type of motor that has neither rare-earth magnets nor the windings inside its rotor core, making it the cheapest solution; as a result, its torque...
More power, less heat: metallic glasses promise a new era of motor efficiency
Metallic glasses are at the heart of a groundbreaking project at Saarland University, where researchers led by Professor Ralf Busch have developed amorphous, glass‑like iron alloys that can be 3D‑printed into motor components...
Advancing EU excellence in rare earth elements
As rare earth elements are becoming more and more critical for the European manufacturing industry, a group of 24 partners from six different nations aims to strengthen the domestic value chain by...
