Wavewinding stators

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

Rethinking complex designs

The best of both worlds:

Together with Schaeffler ELMOTEC STATOMAT, Additive Drives offers customers worldwide innovative winding technologies for an agile future. Both partners bring different aspects to this strong partnership.

Schaeffler ELMOTEC STATOMAT, as part of the global Schaeffler Special Machinery network, combines many years of experience in winding and feeding technology with outstanding industrialization and automation expertise. Additive Drives enables the fastest production of prototypes and high-performance small series in the field of shaft winding through flexible and innovative manufacturing processes.

Wavewinding stators

The flat wire wave winding has been specifically developed for electric mobility applications. Thanks to its compact design and the high number of conductors in the slot, it is ideal for applications with high speeds and high power density.

The benefits at a glance:

  • Compact design
  • High number of wire crossings
  • Fewer spot welds for greater process reliability
  • Particularly suitable for stators with a high number of slots

High-performance electric motor with a continuous wave winding

Additive Drives supports customers in the development of new motor designs and new concepts for flat conductor structures. The innovative 3D printing technology not only enables the shortest realization times, but also – unique in the world – the production of wavewinding stators with closed slots, which is particularly advantageous for high torques.

With a comprehensive portfolio of systems, Schaeffler ELMOTEC STATOMAT offers production solutions for a wide range of drive concepts in various industries, from automotive to mobile machinery, and supports customers with modular concepts in ramping up to high volume production.
