Housing

Inner rotor machine

In Motor Factory – Design area, the environment “Housing” allows to design the shape and dimensions of the machine frame and to design the associated cooling devices like the fins and the cooling circuit.

The user inputs, the cross section, the axial view and datasheet can be selected and displayed.

Three sections are available: Design, Fins and Circuit.
Important: 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.
Note: The illustrations below are based on the SMPM-IR machine. However, the principles described apply to all machine types, including the IMSQ-IR for instance.
Table 1. Housing design area dedicated for inner rotor topology


1 Selection of the Machine subset: Housing panel (Click on the icon Housing)
2 User inputs. Several sections allow defining all characteristics that deal with the Housing: Design, Fin and Cooling circuit.
Note: By default, the section Design is selected.
Note: Fin and Cooling are available for inner rotor topology but not for outer rotor topology.

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.
