Abstract: The present research aimed to evaluate the effect of nickel-based electrochemical metallization (EMNi) on the quality and performance of electric motor components, compared to high-velocity oxy-fuel (HVOF) thermal spray coating, the most widely used coating in the mining industry. The experiment was conducted using motor components comprised of 4340 VCN steel, 4140 VCL steel, 1045 steel, and stainless steel, which underwent both treatments. The surface temperature of the components was monitored during the processing stage, followed by evaluations of their Rockwell hardness (HRC) and surface characteristics (taper, ovality, parallelism, finish, wear) at the onset (day 0) and after 2 years of use the results indicate that EMNi delivers electric motor components with superior finishes and extended warranty and service life in comparison to HVOF.

Abstract: There are numerous levers and constraints affecting the sustainability of electric motors. While previous work mostly focuses on individual energy and resource efficiency potentials within single phases of the motor’s lifecycle, this paper summarizes sustainability aspects from three different perspectives, namely from the market, product and process view. The first part of this paper analyzes the electric motor market to emphasize the significance of this industry and to outline the importance of state-regulated efficiency classes. The second part provides an overview of the range of electric motor types and their sustainability characteristics. The third part contains an analysis of manufacturing processes in terms of energy and resource efficiency by pointing out appropriate key figures and optimization approaches. In doing so, the connection of the three perspectives market, product and processes offers a holistic view on sustainability aspects of electric motors.

Abstract: Design methods of electric motors and reasonable parametric design principles for hybrid electric construction equipments are proposed. In accordance with the power performance, economical efficiency and electric transmission features of construction equipments, the new design method of electric motors which is an advanced application-centric design process are analyzed, and the design theory and calculation method of main parameters are discussed, so that theoretical basis is provided for the research and design of new electric drive construction equipments. Parametric design of a typical dozer drive train is conducted applied the proposed new design method and calculation method. Major components of the power train are modeled using the simulation software Simulink. Based on power track control strategy, the simulation results show that the proposed new design method and parameter design theory of electric motors for hybrid construction equipments are reasonable. It has significance in both theory and practice for the research and development of hybrid electric drive construction equipments.

Abstract: Aim. The full paper begins with a variety of Electro-Hydraulic Pump (EHP) and a review on work of existing hydraulic pump, resulting in, in our opinion, the conclusion that it is absolutely essential to in-depth study on the EHP, a highly integration of electric motor and hydraulic pump. We now present a model how to get temperature field of our design plunger EHP that we believe that it can much better develop the EHP. In the full paper, we explain our method in some detail; in this abstract, we just add some pertinent remarks to naming the topics, such as motor thermal model, the fluid model and the heat conduction model. We discuss the temperature distribution under the different leakage decided by oil film thickness. Finally we do simulations in ANSYS. The simulation results in the full paper show our method for the temperature field is efficient to design the EHP.

Abstract: The design and introductory calculations of a bearingless induction motor is presented in the paper. Advantages of bearingless motors are: the lack of a mechanical contact between the journal and the bush, small additional losses, no need of lubricants, no tear and wear, the shaft is shorter, they have low cost of production due to smaller number of wires on the stator, etc
