Molabo introduces ISCAD motor expertise for off-highway functions


Molabo is introducing its ISCAD (Clever Stator Cage Drive) motor expertise to the off-highway, industrial, and business markets.

The ISCAD expertise 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 expertise is the ONOX, a completely electrical tractor geared up with a battery-swapping system. The tractor integrates 4 50 kW Aries 50 drives: two essential drives and two energy take-offs (PTOs). This configuration gives ample energy for tackling powerful terrain.

The 2 PTOs ship clear, quiet electrical power 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 companion with Molabo. The motor delivers roughly 40% extra energy than our earlier era at simply 48 volts. The motor can be fairly compact in design and has an built-in motor controller for simplicity,” stated Daniel Hornung, undertaking supervisor for ONOX.

At present, greater than 65,000 farms in Germany produce renewable power. 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 should decrease operational prices whereas growing 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 power 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 at the moment in its remaining approval and testing phases.

“After profitable entries within the leisure and business marine segments, we’re thrilled to supply our low-voltage electrical drive techniques to the off-highway, industrial, agricultural and business segments,” stated Adrian Patzak, COO of Molabo GmbH. “Our touch-safe Aries drives are a recreation changer for gear producers. Up to now, low-voltage drives had been solely obtainable as much as 30 kW. Because of our patented ISCAD expertise, OEMs can now develop highly effective emission-free autos and gear which might be straightforward to certify, service, and preserve.”

At present, 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 could be carried out on-site.

“We needed to make it as straightforward and secure as attainable for present educated employees to keep up the tractor,” stated Hornung.

Whereas the ONOX tractor is breaking new floor within the agriculture trade, Molabo expertise can be being utilized in different heavy-duty sectors akin to mills and manufacturing facility gear that beforehand relied on high-voltage motors.

“The alternatives are limitless,” stated Patzak. “We’re wanting ahead to working with extra progressive corporations to impress their product choices.”
