Introduction
We are experts in electric machines. We specialize in advanced electric motor design and industrialization, with a strong focus on next-generation, sustainable and rare-earth-free electric machines made entirely in Europe.
Our ferrite permanent magnet machines are strategic alternatives to the common rare-earth-dependent solutions. Our mission is to enable high-performance, cost-effective and supply-chain-resilient electric drives for sensitive and large-scale applications.
Our technology
The most relevant (key) features of our patented rare-earth element free design are the followings:
/ Ferrite magnets
Hard ferrite magnets are used for the rotor excitation, as an alternative to the mainstream solutions adopting NdFeB magnets.
/ Local supply chain
Break the dependency on the foreign rare-earth market: our designs are reliable alternatives based on solid local (EU) supply chains.
/ Performant design
Despite the low energy product of Ferrite, our novel design ensures an efficiency and power density comparable to RE based counterparts.
/ Scalable production
Hard ferrite magnets are used for the rotor excitation, as an alternative to the mainstream solutions adopting NdFeB magnets.
