Interior Permanent Magnet (IPM) e-Cartridge

IPM e-Cartridge项目将开发出等同于电动工具“基本单元”的“多用途适配器”，但用于低压越野牵引和执行驱动。在这种情况下，“基本单元”是一个完全集成的内部永久磁铁(IPM)电机和控制盒，而“多弹头适配器”包括液压泵、电子车桥和变速箱。该财团由阿什伍德电动汽车公司、柯蒂斯仪器公司、卡特彼勒公司、Niftylift公司和巴斯大学组成。IPM电子墨盒将由阿什伍德和柯蒂斯设计和开发。巴斯大学随后将为Niftylift和卡特彼勒模拟不同配置和不同占空比的IPM e-Cartridege，以确定最有效的传动系统配置。最后，这项技术将被集成到Niftyift和卡特彼勒的汽车上进行测试和演示。财团完全有希望在2017年底之前在他们自己的汽车上或通过他们现有的大量OEM关系来利用这个项目的成果。

The IPM e-Cartridge project will develop the equivalent of a power tool ‘base unit’ with ‘multi-purpose adaptors’, but for low voltage off-highway traction and implementation drives. In this case the ‘base unit’ is a fully integrated Interior Permanent Magnet (IPM) motor & controlle cartridge and the ‘multi-puropse adaptors’ include hydraulic pumps, e-axles and gearboxes. The consortium is made up of Ashwoods Electric Motors, Curtis Instruments, Caterpillar, Niftylift and the University of Bath. The IPM e-Cartridge will be designed and developed by Ashwoods and Curtis. Bath University will then simulate the IPM e-Cartridege in different configurations and on different duty cycles for Niftylift and Caterpillar to identify the most effective drive train configurations. Finally the technology will be integrated to Niftylift and Caterpillar vehicles for testing and demonstration.The consortium have every expectation to be exploiting the outputs of this project in their own vehicles or through their existing high volume OEM relationships by the end of 2017.
