Lifecycle

Lifetime of the motor is the same as the lifetime of the bearing

Manufacturer Specified Performance Parameters

– Customized in shortest time – Best in class power density (up to 10 kw/kg) – Best in class efficiency (up to 98%) – Compact and durable design – Stacking option

Vetted Performance Status

In February 2014 thermal tests were performed. The motor was exposed to shock tests from -40°C to +160°C for 17 days (24h/day). The test results were satisfactory. In addition, customer feedback is continuously gathered.

Safety

Mixing up the polarity of the battery or a short circuit leads to a destruction of the drive and represents an acute fire hazard and danger of life.

Complementary Technical Systems

One-man rigging aid
