Parker’s Electromechanical Automation Division, a supplier of vehicle motor and electronics technology, is pleased to announce the first phase of its traction motor launch: the GVM210.

The GVM traction motor series is a highly advanced electric machine intended to be used in electric and hybrid electric vehicle traction applications. Pre-production units are being used and tested in major vehicle programs around the world, and with the official launch, the GVM is available as a standard, off-the-shelf production unit.

Phase 1 of the release includes a 210mm frame size. Within this frame size, there are 6 rotor lengths and numerous winding variations. Those variations together allow the GVM210 to have more than 100 combinations of base speed and peak power output for ultimate scalability and fine-tuning of the vehicle’s performance.

Some key features of the GVM:

· Peak power from 8kW to 325kW
· Peak torque from 76Nm to 703Nm
· Base speed range from 843rpm to 7575rpm
· Peak power densities up to 4.2kw/kg
· Operating voltages from 24VDC to 800VDC
· Tested and validated to SAE J1455 environmental standards
· Highly efficient rotor and stator design yielding up to 20% more range per charge
· Patent-pending cooling configuration uses WEG or ATF (oil)
· Manufactured in USA and Europe

“With the launch of this exciting product, Parker will be able to deliver standard traction motors that can be matched to the vehicle’s needs – exactly,” said Jay Schultz, Industry Market Manager for Parker Hannifin. “Vehicle designers no longer have to compromise on a motor with performance that is ‘close enough.’”
