Designing electric motor controls and testing embedded controllers for motor drives is time-consuming, and tests with rotating components and under high-voltage conditions are potentially dangerous. Testing intelligently using digital twins allows for a safe testing environment that not only prevents equipment damage but also personal injury. Furthermore, it provides a continuous workflow across all test phases within a single platform. Development thus becomes faster and more innovative, and errors can be detected early on. […]
Automaker BMW is racing to align its production sites around the world to accommodate new electric drive designs as it transforms to an electric vehicle powerhouse. The movement is all-encompassing – involving new vehicle and […]
MAHLE SmartBike Systems, the e-bike company of automotive component supplier MAHLE, has launched its new X30 drive system. The highlight is a new permanent-magnet hub motor designed for high torque and light weight. The full […]
Designers of high-performance products for e-mobility are getting to know the Helix brand, launched in 2022 to spread the electric propulsion technology of Integral Powertrain Ltd of the UK to more automotive and motorcycle OEMs while also positioning into aviation, marine and aerospace markets. From its roots in designing propulsion systems for motorsports, Helix has emerged as an established series manufacturer of the power-dense motors, inverters and e-powertrains that it develops.
Its hallmark Scaleable Core Technology (SCT) platform has three product levels — stock, configured and custom. But its X-Division, focused on developmental projects in automotive, motorsport, aerospace and marine applications, leads the push into new electric powertrain designs. In two recent projects, Helix has designed a direct drive scaleable aerospace electric propulsion demonstrator and developed a revolutionary 650kW continuous output low-inductance motor for a new hypercar project. Both are based upon the company’s core technology in radial-flux motor topology and specialized inverters. […]
NXP Semiconductors and ZF Friedrichshafen plan to collaborate on next-generation SiC-based traction inverter solutions for electric vehicles. By leveraging NXP’s advanced GD316x high-voltage isolated gate drivers, the solutions are designed to accelerate the adoption of […]
