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 features.
The PMI180 motor incorporates a compact, strong design delivering excessive energy density and effectivity. Supreme purposes embrace increase lifts, scissor lifts, and compact loaders and excavators.
Most producers of cellular elevating work platforms (MEWPs) utilise AC induction motor (ACIM) techniques to drive the hydraulic pump powering the machine’s elevate 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 standard spherical wires.
The PMI180 motor incorporates 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 significantly vital in small electrical equipment through which the battery pack occupies many of the out there area, 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 the usage of a smaller, cheaper battery pack to realize the identical runtime.
The strong design of the PMI180 allows the motor for use in harsh situations. The motor and connector function an IP67 ranking, offering safety from mud, grime, and moisture ingress. The motor’s corrosion resistance has been validated in a 200-hour salt-spray check, providing prolonged safety. Mixed, these options can improve the motor’s service life, even in excessive environments.
“Editron has lengthy been recognized 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, software 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, international manufacturing and high quality management, which suggests the motor isn’t solely cutting-edge, but in addition extremely dependable and constructed to final.”
The Editron PMI180 motor incorporates a rated energy output of 7kW at 48-volts DC. Its rated pace is 3,000rpm and its most pace 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 can be out there in 2026.
Along with the PMI180, the ED-DT180 eDrive can be added to the Editron 48-volt portfolio. The eDrive is a propel answer for MEWPs and related off-highway autos that integrates an electrical motor, discount gearbox, and electromagnetic brake in a single compact bundle.
Designed to be essentially the most compact drive answer 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 provision of PMI180 and DT180, authentic gear producers can create full propel and work operate techniques for electrical MEWPs.
