Electric Motors
The transition from internal combustion engines to electric motors has begun. These new powertrains provide many performance benefits and eliminate vehicle emissions. That said, they also bring new design challenges to improve drivability and efficiency.
Electric vehicle motors come in different flavors, from traditional AC induction to permanent magnet synchronous or switched reluctance motors. Each type has an impact on performance, durability, efficiency and cost.
From mitigating torque ripple to thermal management of high-performance applications, there’s significant development to come. This is why ATA has positioned itself in a place to help OEMs and Tier-1 suppliers characterize and validate electric motor designs.

Fluidify™ is an oil/coolant conditioning system optimized for rapid temperature control. Ideal for performance or durability testing of thermal management components.
The convenient roll-around architecture allows for easy plug-and-play testing of pumps, heat exchangers, liquid-cooled inverters, valves or entire thermal management subsystems.
Section-ID -
With the SRM (Switched Reluctance Motor) being as simple, cost effective, and tough as it is, there is no surprise that it has been the popular pick for companies developing vehicles for the electric space. There are a few negatives that play in though, including torque ripple. Dynamics™ allows you to simulate the pulsation profile emitting from your motor to better quantify the motor’s durability and performance.
