Pseudo Direct Drive
Traction Motor
Magnomatics' Pseudo Direct Drive (PDD®) offers significant advantages over conventional permanent magnet motor/generator technology, achieving a step-change in continuous torque density and highest efficiency.
This allows the motor to directly drive many loads where conventionally a motor and gearbox combination would be employed.
An ideal application will have high continuous torque at relatively low speed.
Advantages
-
Very high efficiency over a wide operating range
-
Significantly smaller and lighter than direct drive equivalents
-
No gearbox - improving reliability and reducing maintenance
-
Low cooling requirements
-
Built-in torsional compliance reduces drivetrain pulsations
-
Low NVH
-
Unique passive torque fuse protects drive-train
-
Operates with large airgaps to enable high shock rating
