Future of Electric Motor Technology for E-Mobility
Mobility
6 min readOverview
Electric motors are the cornerstone of our modern conveniences. An eclectic mix of evolving sustainability initiatives, growing customer demand, growing research on electric motor components, and favorable regulatory policies accelerates efficient motor topologies. With regard to electric motors, the reduction of installation space, weight and noise emission is very important. Additional goals include increasing power density, optimizing cooling concepts, and increasing controllability.
The increasing adoption of Axial Flux motors across various industries and e-mobility is gaining traction with proponents like Mercedes acquired YASA and Magnax. Linear Labs breakthrough technology HET is also gaining attention. Transverse Flux motors have also popped up in the ecosystem as an alternative to traditional radial flux systems. Power density and Efficiency improvements are attained by employing innovative winding technology like hairpin winding, new lamination substitutes, SMCs, and so on. Advanced power electronics and thermal management systems also increase the power density and overall efficiency of the system.
FutureBridge’s latest study on new motor topologies addresses innovations and commercial developments in the ‘Electric Motor’ Ecosystem. This study spotlights emerging trends in electric motor ecosystem and its enabling technologies in brief.
