Mahle builds the perfect electric motor”
Automotive supplier Mahle has developed a new technology kit for electric motors that combines the advantages of its benchmark SCT and MCT-E motors. The “perfect motor” combines consistently high peak performance, contactless and therefore wear-free power transmission and the absence of rare earths. “With this unique technology kit for electric motors, we can offer our customers tailor-made electrification solutions for every vehicle class, purpose or brand philosophy,” said Arnd Franz, Chairman of the Mahle Group Management Board and CEO. Electrification is a future strategy area as part of the Mahle 2030+ group strategy. Other fields include thermal management and highly efficient, green combustion engines. Mahle will be showing the new modular technology and other technical innovations for sustainable mobility at the IAA Mobility in Munich from September 4th to 10th, 2023.
The MCT (Magnet-free Contactless Transmitter) and the endurance champion SCT (Superior Continuous Torque) electric motor are among the Stuttgart-based automotive supplier's latest innovations in the field of electric drives. The absence of rare earths in MCT technology not only makes production more environmentally friendly, but also brings advantages in terms of costs and raw material security. The MCT E motor makes full use of its efficiency advantages, especially in areas that are frequently used in real road traffic. With the SCT-E motor, Mahle currently has the most enduring electric motor in its range. The traction motor can work at high power for an unlimited period of time. This technological leap was made possible by a new cooling concept. The innovative integrated oil cooling not only makes the electric motor robust, but also enables the resulting waste heat to be used in the overall vehicle system. Another strength of the SCT-E motor is its high continuous performance. Despite the very compact and lightweight design, this amounts to 93 to 100 percent of its peak performance, as measurement results show.
