Electrification company, Equipmake, and 3D printing specialist Heita are collaborating on an innovative new electric motor.
The new motor will draw on Equipmake’s expertise in electric motor design and HiETA’s knowledge in thermal engineering and additive manufacturing with the target of producing an extremely lightweight, efficient but low-cost electric motor with peak power density of more than 20kW per kg – more than four times as power dense as a conventional electric motor.
Equipmake and HiETA are targeting peak power of 220 kW at 30,000 rpm and a weight of less than 10 Kg. By comparison, even the best standard permanent magnet motors would struggle to muster 5 kW/kg.
Innovation theme: 4x Power dense EV motor made from additive manufacturing, Extremely lightweight, Efficient but low-cost electric motor with a peak power density of more than 20kW per kg, A peak power of 220 kW at 30,000 rpm, and a weight of less than 10 Kg.
