Succeeded in developing a prototype high-flux plastic magnet rotor for ultra-high-speed motors for aircraft and automotive systems.
The Joint Research Center for Electric Architecture has now succeeded in developing a prototype high-flux plastic magnet rotor for ultra-high-speed motors for aircraft and automotive systems through joint research with IHI Corporation, and collaboration with local companies in Akita Prefecture(Miyakoshi Seiki Co., Ltd., Furuyamold Co., Ltd.,Kobayashi Industry Co., Ltd.) supported by the Akita Industrial Technology Center.
It can be expected to significantly reduce machining in addition to high output (high efficiency), miniaturization and weight reduction.
This prototype rotor achieved performance equal to or better than that of conventional sintered magnet rotors, in which 100% of the design magnetic force is occupied by magnets as a result of characterization in the Joint Research Center for Electric Architecture.
This achievement will also contribute to the reduction of rare earth usage. This is because magnets that are almost 50% plastic can achieve the same output as conventional products.
