Industry Convergence
How does Radam’s solution create a convergence of industry trends?
Radam technology is based on amorphous iron which is widely recognized as the most efficient motor core material available. This allows high frequency designs, with very low SPP ratios.
Once the amorphous iron can be used effectively with the low SPP ratios, the result is
- Thinner yoke sections, reducing wasted non-torque producing materials and allowing greater space for windings by Decreasing the Slot/Pole/Phase Ratio
- Thinner rotor magnets, saving on cost while not affecting high efficiency by Increasing the Energy of Permanent Magnets and Decreasing the Slot/Pole/Phase Ratio
- Greater use of concentrated windings, which increases efficiency and power density by Increasing the Percentage of Copper Windings
- Reduced winding end turns which saves on winding material expense and again increases efficiency by Increasing the Percentage of Copper Windings
The past decades have seen a number of trends within the motor industry. These long term trends are moving in a common direction with the goal of making electric motors that are less expensive and simultaneously more electrically efficient. Radam’s solution is the only motor approach that takes into account these seemingly separate industry trends and converges them into very high efficiency, reduced size and reduced cost electric motors.
