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 software of this know-how is the ONOX, a totally electrical tractor outfitted with a battery-swapping system. The tractor integrates 4 50 kW Aries 50 drives: two major drives and two energy take-offs (PTOs). This configuration gives 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 associate with Molabo. The motor delivers roughly 40% extra energy than our earlier technology at simply 48 volts. The motor can also be fairly compact in design and has an built-in motor controller for simplicity,” stated Daniel Hornung, undertaking supervisor for ONOX.
Presently, 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 will decrease operational prices whereas rising revenue margins.
The ONOX tractor’s battery-swapping system eliminates downtime for charging and doesn’t require a robust grid connection—an set up that may be costly or unavailable in rural areas. As an alternative, 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 functions and is presently in its remaining approval and testing phases.
“After profitable entries within the leisure and industrial marine segments, we’re thrilled to supply our low-voltage electrical drive programs to the off-highway, industrial, agricultural and industrial segments,” stated Adrian Patzak, COO of Molabo GmbH. “Our touch-safe Aries drives are a sport changer for gear producers. Previously, low-voltage drives have been solely out there as much as 30 kW. Because of our patented ISCAD know-how, OEMs can now develop highly effective emission-free autos and gear which are straightforward to certify, service, and preserve.”
Presently, 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 may be carried out on-site.
“We needed to make it as straightforward and protected as potential for current educated employees to take care of the tractor,” stated Hornung.
Whereas the ONOX tractor is breaking new floor within the agriculture trade, Molabo know-how can also 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,” stated Patzak. “We’re trying ahead to working with extra revolutionary corporations to affect their product choices.”
