voestalpine stator stack with integrated cooling for electric motors

Insights into a cool innovation

The technical specialists at voestalpine have succeeded in developing a manufacturing process for 100% media-tight, full-face-bonded stator stacks with integrated cooling. Does it work in the real world? Siegfried Silber of the Linz Center of Mechatronics and Ronald Fluch, Project Manager at voestalpine Stahl GmbH, provide insights into the proof of concept and the project status of this cool innovation.

A long list of benefits

Integrated stator cooling for next-generation electrical motors
More compact, lighter weight, more powerful
Adhesive-bonded with self-bonding varnish across the entire surface, 100% media-tight
Motor operating temperatures reduced by up to 40 °C
Higher continuous torque with approximation of peak torque
Cost savings through elimination of water jacket cooling, aluminum housing
