Company - What We Do
Technologies
Since the formation of our company we have strived to utilise cutting edge technologies in our end products. Our permanent magnet motors and generators use rare earth magnets such as Neodymium Boron Iron or Samarium Cobalt depending on the environmental conditions. NdBFe is used in normal operating conditions where temperatures permit, typically 125 to 150 degrees Celcius. SmCo is often used in conditions where temperatures exceed 150 and can work in temperatures greater than 300 degrees Celcius.
Our high speed machines utilise specialised materials cost effectively to overcome the technical challenges that arrise including high performance magnet retention systems, high frequency stator components and appropriate bearing technologies such as hydrostatic and active magnetic bearings. In addition, to achieve high power density good thermal management is essential, is carefully designed for and accommodated in our products.
For our power electronics solutions we carefully combine the elements required to produce high efficiency, highly reliable, cost-effective products.
Specific design and component specification helps to ensure we offer the best end products in each application area.
Our dedicated controllers which are used in many of our rail and industrial products offer high performance control platforms which can be easily expanded to meet the most challenging requirements.
Being able to supply the most appropriate solution by selecting the best technical approach underpins our approach to satisfying a customers requirements. For example we can offer current source inverters with our high speed motors or voltage source where the frequency is lower.
We work closely with our supply chains to identify and source the next generation components which allows us to develop best in class products and gives our customers a competitive advantage in their own markets.
