Integrated oil cooling means that this electric motor can run at 90 percent of peak output all day long
that deliver short-term high performance is easy. What was still lacking on the market until now were durable yet compact drives to make electric vehicles unrestricted for everyday use,” said Martin Berger, Vice President Corporate Research and Advanced Engineering at Mahle. “Our new SCT E-motor is the solution.”
Mahle has opted for a permanently excited motor concept because of its compact design. The rotor also does not need “excitation current,” which makes the motor efficient and wear-free. Instead,are used to generate a magnetic field in the motor. The supplier can also make the motor without magnets, if the price and supply of the raw materials does not suit its clients. That motor is also wear-free and efficient, but requires more assembly space.
The electric motor has been designed to be highly scalable, and the manufacturer says it can be used in everything to off-road and industrial applications. Mahle will present the SCT E-motor to the public for the first time at the IAA Transportation show in Hanover in September 2022.
