E-Mobility Motors
Motors designed with PrintStator can add considerable value to e-mobility systems. ECM solutions offer superior power densities and higher efficiencies allowing for an extended battery life and increased range for integrated systems.
Facilitating Longer Cycles
ECM solutions, characterized by superior power density and high efficiency, contribute to an extended battery life and increased range for integrated systems.
The reduced footprint and mass also provide e-mobility applications with the capacity for additional battery modules, further enhancing their overall range.
Enabling Smoother Integration
ECM’s PCB Stator motors‘ sleek form factor and concise envelope facilitate seamless integration as mid-drive motors without compromising passenger comfort.
The compact design and axial flux topology of PCB Stator machines allow for the motor integration to be streamlined to the bike frame. The reduction of obstruction allows for improved handling and thus increased passenger safety.
Increased Efficiency for Longer Distances
ECM’s PCB Stator technology has been implemented in a range of motors achieving efficiencies which surpass 90%. The efficiency curves of ECM’s solutions are often “flatter” than competing technologies, allowing high efficiency across a large range of operating points.
The integration of ECM’s solutions leads to a prolonged battery life and therefore a reduced carbon footprint, particularly advantageous in an industry with a high focus on sustainability.
PrintStator’s optimization features can generate machines with outstanding efficiency by fine-tuning copper geometries and trace thickness in PCB Stators to specifically target efficiency losses.
Nimble and Neat Solutions
Working alongside numerous international partners, ECM has designed and produced unique e-mobility solutions that have been credited with enabling “not only excellent handling but also easy, elegant integration into bike frames”.
PCB Stators solutions designed through PrintStator commonly offer a reduced mass and motor envelope for the same power rating.
Superior Power Density
A more complex and intelligent utilization of copper, through ECM’s patented technology, enables an elevated level of power output from a reduced motor package.
In one application, an ECM motor designed to the client’s specifications provided twice the peak power output as the legacy solution without increasing motor volume or mass.
A collateral advantaged of reduced weight is the allowance of e-bikes to accommodate extra battery modules, effectively enhancing their overall range.
