Interior Permanent Magnet (IPM) e-Cartridge

IPM e-Cartridge项目将开发具有“多用途适配器”的电动工具“基本单元”，但用于低压非公路牵引和执行驱动。在这种情况下，“基本单元”是一个完全集成的内部永磁（IPM）电机和控制盒，“多永磁适配器”包括液压泵，电子轴和变速箱。该财团由Ashwoods Electric Motors，Curtis Instruments，Caterpillar，Niftylift和巴斯大学组成。IPM e-Cartridge将由Ashwoods和Curtis设计和开发。巴斯大学将在不同的配置和不同的占空比下模拟IPM e-Cartridege，以确定最有效的传动系配置。最后，该技术将被集成到Niftylift和Caterpillar车辆中进行测试和演示。该财团希望在2017年底之前将该项目的成果应用于自己的车辆或通过现有的大批量OEM关系。

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.
