Housing
Outer rotor machines
In Motor Factory – Design area, the environment “Housing” allows to design the shape and dimensions of the machine frame.
The user inputs, the cross section, the axial view and datasheet can be selected and displayed.
One section is available: Design.
Important: Unlike
machines with an internal rotor, for the outer rotor topology, only the
circular-shaped frame is available, but not the square-shaped frame, and
similarly cooling devices such as “Fin” and “Circuit” are not available for
outer rotor topology.
Attention: The
illustrations below are based on the SMPM-OR machine. However, the principles
described apply to all machine types, including the IMSQ-OR for
instance.
