Solution
Without magnets, which are at risk of damage from the challenging rail application conditions, AEMs HDRM motors remove critical failure modes. Ensuring long and reliable life in service.
HDRM300 SystemsAdvantages
As permanent magnets are no longer required, system level improvements deliver real world benefits. When HDRM is not being driven, it acts as a freely rotating mass that doesn’t generate current or torque, offering key safety and efficiency benefits
Benefits
Sustainable
No rare earth magnets, smaller footprint
Improved performance
Higher peak efficiencies over a broader range of speed and torque
Market-leading cost
Simplified systems, less complexity and cost
Accelerated route to market
Modular, scalable design to meet your needs
Features
Simplified control
Patented control hardware enables our motors to operate with standard off the shelf power electronic solutions from all major suppliers
Modular design
The modular design allows up to three motors to operate in unison, which combined with the ability to be truly 'off' enables our motors to deliver highly efficient systems with as much power as needed
Robust construction
Maximising the benefits of the reluctance motor topology and using standard materials and components, HDRM motors provide cost competitive, durable solutions.
Freewheeling Efficiency
With no electromagnetic drag losses, HDRM increase efficiency in opperation. Allows improved part load efficiency with single motor operation and vehicle to coast when appropriate
