Aviation: Lamination stacks take off
Electric aircraft – whether it’s a drone, airplane, or helicopter – are still in their infancy, and the demands placed on electric propulsion systems are complex. The areas of application are enormous: be it for transporting goods or people, for autonomous work at altitudes or underwater, or for transporting goods over short or long distances. We are working with our customers on new lamination stacks with new materials to create lighter and more efficient drives with a higher performance.
SWD drives development of electric aircraft
The power vs. weight of the electric motor is a key factor. Precise stators and rotors enable narrower tolerances and thus greater performance. With drone motors, for example, we can achieve very high speeds. For this purpose, new materials are required, which are processed by new production processes and technologies. Our expertise will help you to take off into the future.
Here is some food for thought:
- Industrialization of axial flux motors
- Lighter motors with higher performance
- High-precision components with smaller tolerances for higher motor performance
- Self-supporting stators without housing
- New materials or special materials
- Thin materials for lower losses and maximum speeds
Customer projects in progress:
- Industrialization of axial flux motors
- Projects with new materials – lighter motors
- Projects with narrower tolerances – more performance
Applications in:
- Drones for transporting people and goods
- Drones for working at heights
- Drones for inspections
- Aircraft propulsion
- and many new aviation ideas
