Finalista do PACEpilot Award – AAMEixo de feixe elétrico com motor de alta velocidade e inversor integrado

A AAM desenvolveu um acionamento elétrico de alta velocidade com inversor integrado que oferece massa significativamente menor do que os projetos concorrentes.

  • Motor de 24.000 rpm que pode ser configurado com indução ou ímã permanente
  • caixa de engrenagens de eixo duplo para equilibrar as cargas do rolamento enquanto reduz o custo e a massa
  • inversor integrado refrigerado a óleo de 800 volts com baixa massa e volume de pacote reduzidos
  • estrutura do eixo da viga que otimiza a massa, a dinâmica e a durabilidade do eixo
