Equipmake, a specialist in EV drivetrain and power systems, has unveiled a new product that is quite different from its electric double-decker buses. The HPM-400 is an advanced high power, short duration electric motor designed for applications in space and the marine segment. It has a max speed of 20,000 rpm, peak power of 400 kW, and maximum torque of 250 Nm, all packed into a mere 40 kg (88 lbs) of mass including its silicon carbide inverter.
The HPM-400 was originally designed as a high-performance rocket fuel pump for Gilmour Space Technologies in Australia. However, its clever design allows for multiple applications, including as an electric motor for the marine segment. It is ultra-lightweight and capable of withstanding incredible acceleration, and has been completely redesigned mechanically to withstand the pressure from within when it goes from atmosphere into a vacuum. This results in a super compact cylindrical package with a carbon fiber shell to keep pressure in and weight down.
The HPM-400 is ideal for use in high-performance space, aerospace and marine applications. Its ultra-light, energy dense performance can be utilized in a variety of ways, and representatives in those sectors are already brainstorming where it can best be used. Equipmake’s new electric motor is sure to revolutionize the industry and open up new possibilities for space and marine exploration.
