Motors for mobility Compact drives for steering, traction and chassis systems

Torque-dense frameless motor are particularly interesting for these applications because they can be integrated directly into the existing mechanics. This makes it possible to achieve high torque, fast dynamic response, and precise torque control with minimal installation space and weight. This is especially relevant for compact steering actuators and precise steering feedback.

For scalable applications and larger quantities, the ILM-E series can be an economical solution. For particularly high requirements in terms of precision, dynamics, or custom design, the ILM series is more likely to be the right choice.

For demanding mobility applications, compact and torque-strong frameless servomotors are particularly well suited. They can be directly integrated into the mechanical structure and matched to the respective function together with gearbox, bearing arrangement, and sensor technology. Typical applications include electric steering actuators, drive actuators, and active suspensions. TQ-RoboDrive offers ILM and ILM-E motors with different diameters, installation lengths, and winding configurations.

Frameless motors are suitable for electric steering drives because they combine high torque density with compact integration and precise controllability. The stator and rotor can be directly integrated into the mechanical structure of the steering unit. This makes it possible to achieve high torque, rapid dynamic response, and precise torque control with a small installation space and low weight. These properties are particularly relevant for compact steering actuators and steering feedback in steer-by-wire systems.

In steer-by-wire (SbW), no permanent mechanical connection between the steering wheel and the steered wheels is required. Sensors detect the movement of the steering wheel and transmit it electronically. An electric actuator sets the desired steering angle at the front axle. Another actuator on the steering wheel generates the desired steering or road feedback for the driver. For both functions, fast response and precise torque control are especially important.

Motors for autonomous steering systems must convert steering commands quickly, precisely, and reproducibly. What is especially important are high torque density, dynamic response, low rotor inertia, and precise controllability. The direct integration of a frameless motor helps enable compact and lightweight steering drives. For scalable applications and larger production volumes, the ILM-E series can be a cost-effective solution. For particularly high requirements in precision, dynamics, or custom design, the ILM series is more likely to be the right choice.

Frameless motors enable high torque density and direct adaptation of the motor to the vehicle design. By varying diameters, overall lengths, and winding configurations, the motor design can be matched to torque, speed, operating voltage, and available installation space. For energy-optimized vehicles, motor efficiency and weight are also crucial.

Servomotors with high torque density, low mass inertia, and dynamic response are suitable for active suspensions. They must be able to build up forces quickly and precisely and respond to changing driving conditions. Depending on the force, speed, and installation space requirements, different ILM or ILM-E sizes with suitable winding configurations can be used. High-Voltage Motorsports, for example, uses a TQ motor in a fully active electromechanical suspension.
