At Agritechnica, Danfoss Energy Options has launched its Editron EM-PMI180 low-voltage electrical motor.
The 48-volt synchronous reluctance assisted everlasting magnet (SRPM) motor is designed to drive a hydraulic gear pump in compact electrical equipment, powering the machine’s work capabilities.
The PMI180 motor encompasses a compact, sturdy design delivering excessive energy density and effectivity. Superb purposes embody growth lifts, scissor lifts, and compact loaders and excavators.
Most producers of cell elevating work platforms (MEWPs) utilise AC induction motor (ACIM) programs to drive the hydraulic pump powering the machine’s carry operate. These motors are cumbersome and inefficient, and at the moment many MEWP producers are switching to newer SRPM expertise.
In comparison with ACIM, SRPM expertise presents larger torque, larger energy, and a extra compact design. The Editron PMI180 motor exemplifies this distinction, delivering larger effectivity and torque in a smaller envelope than typical AC induction motors. The PMI180 options hairpin windings, which additional improve motor energy density and effectivity in comparison with typical spherical wires.
The PMI180 motor encompasses a 15% smaller envelope than AC induction motors with the identical torque/energy. With an outer diameter of 180 millimeters, the PMI180 motor’s compact measurement simplifies machine integration. That is notably essential in small electrical equipment during which the battery pack occupies a lot of the obtainable house, leaving little room for motors, inverters, hydraulics and different elements.
PMI180 presents 15% larger effectivity than AC induction motors. This larger effectivity extends the runtime of electrical equipment or allows using a smaller, inexpensive battery pack to attain the identical runtime.
The sturdy design of the PMI180 allows the motor for use in harsh circumstances. The motor and connector function an IP67 score, offering safety from mud, grime, and moisture ingress. The motor’s corrosion resistance has been validated in a 200-hour salt-spray take a look at, providing prolonged safety. Mixed, these options can improve the motor’s service life, even in excessive environments.
“Editron has lengthy been identified for its high-voltage electrification options. Now we’re strategically constructing out our low-voltage product strains to embody 24- and 48-volt options,” says Eric Wang, utility engineering and portfolio supervisor, Editron China, Danfoss Energy Options. “PMI180 is constructed on superior expertise, a confirmed product growth course of, and many years of mature, world manufacturing and high quality management, which suggests the motor will not be solely state-of-the-art, but additionally extremely dependable and constructed to final.”
The Editron PMI180 motor encompasses a rated energy output of 7kW at 48-volts DC. Its rated velocity is 3,000rpm and its most velocity is 4,000 rpm. Rated torque is 22.5 Nm whereas most torque is 90Nm. It options a regular gear pump interface for connection to pumps as much as 16 cc at 240 bar. The PMI180 works with the EC-C48 inverter, which shall be obtainable in 2026.
Along with the PMI180, the ED-DT180 eDrive shall be added to the Editron 48-volt portfolio. The eDrive is a propel resolution for MEWPs and comparable off-highway automobiles that integrates an electrical motor, discount gearbox, and electromagnetic brake in a single compact bundle.
Designed to be probably the most compact drive resolution available on the market, the eDrive simplifies machine integration whereas maximizing system effectivity and delivering a smoother driving expertise for operators. The 48-volt system joins the 24-volt system launched in 2024. With the supply of PMI180 and DT180, authentic gear producers can create full propel and work operate programs for electrical MEWPs.
