Automotive
Efficient, light weight and fault tolerant advanced traction machines are required for advanced passenger and commercial vehicle applications. These machines need to be built using state-of-the art and developing technologies which focus on shrinking the size and increasing the power-to-weight ratio. Alternative wheel motor configurations such as geared, axial, radial wheel motors are possible candidates for a range of transportation.
Over decades, SDT has gained wide-ranging experience in automotive sector working with clients providing services with design, development, also the supply of electric drives, carrying through many projects in close cooperation with electric motor manufacturers, automotive electric motor drive companies.
Projects related to automotive industry have been performed for motor drive design and development upto 50 kW , one motor per vehicle or all wheel motor, SDT has undertaken work for clients in a diverse range of sectors, including,
- One motor per vehicle topology
- Geared wheel motors topology
- Radial flux wheel motors topology
- Axial flux wheel motors topology
- Electric power steering system
Hybrid and electric vehicles (HEV/EVs) have unique operating characteristics and constrains that drive the design of the electric drive system When deciding whether to employ either one or all wheel motor topology, the size, weight, efficiency, reliability, life and cost are the major factors for successful integration.
SDT has met these challenges with the widest variety of drive technology, provided optimum motor drive solutions.
SDT has developed considerable experience with product design and development in the power motor trains for automobile sector, including
- Drive Product Design & Development
- Drive Technology assessments and Comparison
- Design review
- Sizing motor drives at concept stage, advice on drives and recommending
- Specialist suppliers in motor drive control systems
- Consultancy.
