Compact high-speed electric vehicle motors

As EV platforms evolve, manufacturers are increasingly using compact, high-speed traction motors to deliver high power density within limited space. This approach is common in applications ranging from small urban vehicles to multi-motor electric drive systems.

Technical details

Meeting the demands of high-speed motor operation

It is key that electrical steels behaviour at high frequencies suits the application. Therefore, our iCARe^® Speed grades are engineered for rotors and machines operating at high rpm and where space and mass constraints are critical. With guaranteed losses at 400Hz - 1000Hz these steel grades can withstand significant mechanical stresses without compromising efficiency.

High mechanical strength

Designed to withstand stresses associated with high-speed rotation in automotive motor applications.

Efficient magnetic behaviour

Supports energy-efficient motor operation despite demanding mechanical conditions.

Compact motor enablement

Provides the option to design a more compact motor with a high-strength rotor.

Automotive production readiness

Compatible with serial manufacturing processes and automotive production requirements.

Applications

iCARe^® Speed electrical steels are commonly used in:

High-speed electric vehicle traction motors

Enabling designers to push the boundaries of higher rotor speeds, loading, torque and power density.

Rotor applications subject to high mechanical loads

Combining high strength and stable magnetic behaviour under even the most demanding operating conditions.

Compact, high-performance automotive drive units.

Supporting smaller, more efficient designs for improved packaging and performance in EV platforms.
