EMFree
EMFree [Embo-Free] Motor Core
-
■ Existing technology [Emboss]
Fastened on the surface of electrical steel in relief
- The amount of embossing needs to be increased to reinforce the clamping force.
- Lower efficiency due to the gap between the embossing and the sheet
- Lower flux density due to the deterioration of the stacking factor caused by the gap between individual sheets
- 5~10㎛ between layers
-
■ New technology [Bonding]
Fastened with adhesive between electrical steel products without any relief, welding or rivet
- Greater clamping force and stacking factor than the Embo type
- 10% less core loss than the Embo type
- Over 15% greater flux density than the Embo type
- 2~3㎛ between layers
Characteristics of the EMFree Motor core
-
■ Core Loss
-
■ flux Density
■ Traction Motor Efficiency
The EMFree type has higher torque efficiency than the Embossed Type in the low-speed section.
■ NVH evaluation
