Electric drive systems

Electric drive systems – efficient, robust, economical

We develop customized, individual drive solutions, tailored precisely to your application. Our expertise in simulation, optimization, electronics, control and prototyping ensures maximum performance, whether rotating or linear motors, magnetic bearings or innovative special solutions.

Hundreds of successfully implemented engine designs prove our claim: drives that are perfectly matched to their intended use.

MOTOR DESIGN

The design of electrical machines requires complex simulations and optimizations. Both the relevant aspects of the overall system (electromagnetics, rotor dynamics, thermal conditions) and details such as magnetic losses, torque ripple, NVH behaviour, demagnetization, AC losses, efficiency or CO2 footprint must be taken into account.

DRIVE ELECTRONICS

Optimized power electronics for optimized drives allow for maximum efficiency, power density and robustness. That is why we adapt the design, communication interfaces, safety mechanisms, switching topologies and voltage levels to the needs of your drive.

CONTROL & COMMISSIONING

Only the control of the electrical machine raises all potentials – from simple speed controllers and optimized current curves to sensorless control. We also offer features such as graphical controller programming, online parameter tuning and out-of-the-box signal visualization.

MAGNETIC STORAGE

Magnetic bearings enable lubricant-free, abrasion-free operation for maximum service life and speed. In addition, the rotor and stator can be hermetically separated – without seals, for special requirements with regard to aggressive media and maximum cleanliness.

Simulation workflows and optimization with SyMSpace

SyMSpace is a modular software platform that can be used to create and automatically optimize simulation workflows. Geometries, materials, simulation steps and post-processing can be combined from predefined modules. An intuitive interface guides you through the parameterization of the workflow, the configuration of the optimization and the visualization of the optimization results.

Regulation and code generation for motor controllers with X2C

X2C is used for the rapid development of motor controllers on microcontrollers and DSPs. Extensive libraries with predefined control blocks in Scilab/Xcos or Matlab/Simulink are available for the graphical creation of the control scheme. The C code is generated automatically and replaces manual programming. The X2C Communicator and X2C Scope can then be used to monitor and adjust all controller parameters live.
