CAST COILS – NEXT GENERATION E‑DRIVES!

A wide range of requirements are placed on the windings of electrical machines. On the one hand, the maximum performance of the electrical machine should be achieved by a high slot fill factor and thus the best possible utilization of the available installation space. On the other hand, the best possible cooling of the conductors must be ensured and the occurrence of additional losses due to current displacement must be avoided. There is an overarching desire for cost-effective and automatable production and assembly of the coils.

We developed a process which allows coils for electrical machines to be manufactured by casting. The coil geometries with flat conductor arrangement which can be manufactured using this process offer decisive advantages over conventionally manufactured windings. The casting production can be carried out either by die casting, low-pressure casting or investment casting and the coils can be cast from copper as well as aluminum.

INTRODUCTION OF THE CAST COIL TECHNOLOGY
AND ITS ADVANTAGES

The use of CAST COILS enables electric machines with higher efficiency, higher power and torque density and a greater variety of variants with the same housing with copper coils for high performance and aluminum coils for lightweight solutions due to the higher utilization of installation space and flexible geometry design of the coils. Cast coils contribute to the reduction of energy consumption, e.g. in refrigeration plants by 10%, through higher efficiency and power density. Aluminum in particular enables lower energy consumption in production and recycling, 30% lower CO2 emissions and the use of CFC-free refrigerants in refrigeration and air conditioning technology, which accounts for around 15% of energy consumption in Germany. Furthermore, aluminum can also be used as a recycling material and thus enables closed-loop recycling for the powertrains of the future.
