Featured Market
- The brand new HPM-400 electrical motor has a peak energy of 400kW, a peak torque of 250Nm, however with an built-in silicon carbide (SiC) inverter, its complete weight is simply 40kg.
- Excessive-power, short-duration engine initially designed as a high-performance gasoline pump for Gilmour House Applied sciences’ Eris rocket program
- The HPM-400 can function at atmospheric strain and vacuum and is good for aerospace functions in addition to the aerospace and marine industries.
- Designed and manufactured at Equipmake’s Snetterton facility within the UK, the know-how was born from Equipmake’s expertise in F1 and high-end motorsport.
- Go to Equipmake on the Solihull Future Propulsion Convention
- Main electrification specialist Equipmake is at the moment a
- Ultralight, intense energy electrical motor designed for prime efficiency aerospace and marine functions.
- Debuted on the Future Propulsion Convention in Solihull, England, the HPM-400 is a complicated high-power short-stroke engine initially specified.
- Excessive efficiency rocket gasoline pump for Australian firm Gilmour House Applied sciences to be used within the Eris rocket program.
- Having numerous technological and packaging improvements arising from the necessity to face up to extreme acceleration whereas working at atmospheric strain and in house,
- The HPM-400 has a number of functions in high-performance environments.
- With a most engine velocity of 20,000rpm, peak energy/torque of 400kW/250Nm and a mass of solely 30kg for the engine alone, the HPM-400 is believed to be essentially the most power-intensive on the earth. Mixed with the built-in silicon carbide inverter, which weighs solely 10 kg, the complete system weighs solely 40 kg.
- Equipmake CEO Ian Foley stated: “Resulting from its authentic use as a rocket gasoline pump, the HPM-400 options many new improvements over typical motor/inverters, making it preferrred to be used in high-performance aerospace and marine functions.
- “To start with, the entire bundle is ultra-light and capable of face up to unbelievable acceleration. Second, when an inverter has to function in vacuum, it must be excessive voltage as a whole lot of energy is required.
- “The HPM-400 retains air strain inside and has been utterly mechanically redesigned to face up to the strain from the ambiance because it passes from the ambiance to the vacuum. This has resulted in an excellent compact cylindrical bundle (typical inverters are sq. formed) with a carbon fiber shell to maintain the strain inside and cut back weight. All this implies a complicated, high-power, low-weight motor/inverter that feels at residence in house, air or water.”
- Regardless of the trade, Snetterton, Norfolk-based Equipmake presents an entire electrical mobility answer with the flexibility to design, take a look at and manufacture every little thing from engines to completely electrical platforms.
