Machine builders today need to explore alternatives to traditional powertrains for several reasons. In many machines that currently use combustion engines, new requirements from legislators and users are becoming increasingly difficult to meet without significant adaptations.
Electric hybrid drive systems offer new possibilities for machine design and usage. By incorporating an electric motor, a smaller combustion engine with lower emissions can be used, resulting in a cleaner machine and simplifying the development and certification process. Additionally, the system can be designed to allow the machine to run entirely on electricity when needed, opening up new applications and markets.
Developing an alternative powertrain means introducing a number of new components to the system. One of the key components of a hybrid system is the generator. It starts the combustion engine and ensures that the batteries are supplied with the required energy.
The new GSM is a 3-phase generator based on permanent magnet technology (PMAC), specially designed for battery applications with battery voltages between 24 and 80 volts, and suitable for all types of hybrid vehicles with continuous power up to 24 kW.
Together with an ACS motor controller, an efficient, reliable, and maintenance-free generator system is formed that is easy to integrate into vehicles and other equipment.
