Molabo is introducing its ISCAD (Clever Stator Cage Drive) motor know-how to the off-highway, industrial, and industrial markets.
The ISCAD know-how can ship 25-200kW peak energy and as much as 150kW steady energy at simply 48V.
The corporate’s first off-highway utility of this know-how is the ONOX, a completely electrical tractor outfitted with a battery-swapping system. The tractor integrates 4 50 kW Aries 50 drives: two fundamental drives and two energy take-offs (PTOs). This configuration supplies ample energy for tackling powerful terrain.
The 2 PTOs ship clear, quiet electrical vitality to energy farming implements like hay cutters, balers, disc harrows, mowers, diggers, or grinders.
“There have been a number of explanation why we selected to accomplice with Molabo. The motor delivers roughly 40% extra energy than our earlier era at simply 48 volts. The motor can be fairly compact in design and has an built-in motor controller for simplicity,” mentioned Daniel Hornung, mission supervisor for ONOX.
At present, greater than 65,000 farms in Germany produce renewable vitality. The ONOX tractor, when mixed with on-farm biogas, wind, or photo voltaic photovoltaics, enhances independence and resilience to fluctuating diesel costs, reduces emissions, and should decrease operational prices whereas growing revenue margins.
The ONOX tractor’s battery-swapping system eliminates downtime for charging and doesn’t require a strong grid connection—an set up that may be costly or unavailable in rural areas. As a substitute, the batteries cost from the renewables generated on the farm, and operators swap depleted batteries in simply 5 minutes.
Moreover, ONOX batteries can function auxiliary or emergency vitality storage for the ability, serving to to stabilize the native electrical grid. The ONOX tractor is appropriate for gentle farming or homesteading purposes and is at present in its last approval and testing phases.
“After profitable entries within the leisure and industrial marine segments, we’re thrilled to supply our low-voltage electrical drive methods to the off-highway, industrial, agricultural and industrial segments,” mentioned Adrian Patzak, COO of Molabo GmbH. “Our touch-safe Aries drives are a recreation changer for gear producers. Prior to now, low-voltage drives had been solely obtainable as much as 30 kW. Because of our patented ISCAD know-how, OEMs can now develop highly effective emission-free autos and gear which can be simple to certify, service, and preserve.”
At present, most electrified off-highway autos are constructed on high-voltage automotive platforms. Nevertheless, off-highway gear is usually utilized in distant or rural areas the place entry to high-voltage educated service personnel and specialised instruments could also be restricted. With Aries drives, service and upkeep might be carried out on-site.
“We needed to make it as simple and protected as potential for present educated employees to keep up the tractor,” mentioned Hornung.
Whereas the ONOX tractor is breaking new floor within the agriculture trade, Molabo know-how can be being utilized in different heavy-duty sectors corresponding to turbines and manufacturing unit gear that beforehand relied on high-voltage motors.
“The alternatives are limitless,” mentioned Patzak. “We’re trying ahead to working with extra revolutionary firms to impress their product choices.”
