Tech Insights

Together with the Umbra Group, we compared permanent magnet synchronous motors for hybrid light aircraft propulsion with traditional and additive winding technologies in a development project.

Electric motors at their physical maximum: no derating at maximum power thanks to phase-change cooling.

Partial discharges damage the insulation in electric motors and reduce the service life. Modern technology enables higher copper fill levels and reduced partial discharge for the highest demands.

Whether in torque motors or in the trend technology axial flux motor: concentrated windings are used in a wide range of applications. Flat conductor coils enable higher copper fill levels and efficiencies than classic round wire windings.

The development of an injection moulding process for copper parts combines the best of two worlds: specialized design and mass production.

Our innovative 3D printing technology enables the production of wavewinding stators with closed slots - the only one of its kind in the world.

Interview with EV Tech Insider: Improved design for maximum efficiency - How do we achieve up to 45% higher power densities compared to conventional manufacturing?

Highly efficient cooling methods such as oil cooling and optimised designs with forced heat transfer enable us to realise designs with high-performance motors in the smallest of spaces. Additive Drives' designs make all the difference when it comes to high cooling requirements.
