Simplify Electrification

In a collaborative research project with Ford Motor Company, we have optimised a hairpin stator to achieve higher efficiency and better packaging than ever before. By combining constant cross section, variable profile hairpin conductors and our optimised manufacturing technologies, we have improved the performance of the electric motor!

Hairpins are the trend technology in the field of electric motors. Additive Drives offers the world’s fastest prototypes and supports its customers in the area of high-performance series. Compared to round wire windings, which are still standard in the industrial sector, the hairpin winding impresses with three advantages: firstly, the solid copper cross-section reduces the electrical resistance. Secondly, the improved thermal behaviour of the winding allows higher continuous power. Thirdly, the hairpin winding is produced on fully automated lines and is thus exactly reproducible, regardless of the number of pieces.

“The manufacturing technology from Additive Drives GmbH not only opens up new possibilities in the design and further optimization of electric motors, but also sets new standards in the recycling of stators. A big step forward.” – Benjamin Langer, AVL

“The Additive Drives Technology offers a unique advantage for shorter development cycles and quicker time-to-market.” – Marco Stoehling

Highly efficient cooling methods such as oil cooling and optimised designs with forced heat transfer allow us to realise designs with high performance motors in the smallest of spaces. Where cooling requirements are high, Additive Drives designs make all the difference.
