Summary
The Joint Institute of Mechanical Engineering offers customers the TDU80W400.1 Mechanotronic Module for the Traction Electric Drive System, including documentation development and upgrades at the Customer's request, under a manufacturing agreement and/or a license agreement for their production and is looking for partners interested in a distribution services agreement.
Description
A mechatronic traction drive system module is a single, highly integrated unit (often referred to as an e-axle or electric axle) that combines three key components into a single housing: a traction motor, a power inverter with a control system, and a mechanical gearbox. This 3-in-1 architecture minimizes overall dimensions, reduces unit weight, eliminates long high-voltage cables between components, and significantly improves the overall energy efficiency of electric vehicles, rail vehicles, and special equipment.
In the automotive and industrial sectors, major technology giants lead the way, supplying e-axles for most modern electric vehicles.
1. Bosch Mobility (Germany). One of the pioneers in the creation of integrated electric axle systems, the Bosch eAxle family. The company's modules support voltages up to 800 V and boast an efficiency of up to 93% thanks to SiC semiconductors.
2. Nidec Corporation (Japan)
The world's first company to begin mass production of e-Axle mechatronic traction modules. Their systems are extremely popular in the Asian and European markets due to their high compactness (3-in-1 models weigh approximately 83 kg and deliver up to 150 kW).
3. ZF Friedrichshafen AG (Germany) - A global supplier of drivetrain and chassis systems. It produces both highly integrated passenger car electric axles (EVSys800 platform) and massive mechatronic portal axles for electric buses and trucks.
4. BorgWarner (USA) - The company strengthened its market position through the acquisition of Remy and the integration of its Viper series inverters into compact iDM (integrated Drive Module) electric drives for leading global automakers.
5. Magna International (Canada/Austria) Magna eDrive produces modular systems, offering scalable architectures (eDS Mid and eDS Large families) with integrated control software and advanced vibration-acoustic (NVH) mitigation.
6. BYD Auto (China). The absolute leader in vertical integration. The company not only assembles electric vehicles but also manufactures its own 8-in-1 mechatronic units (which, in addition to the motor, gearbox, and inverter, include an on-board charger, DC/DC converter, and power distribution unit).
The TDU80W400.1 mechatronic traction drive system module, developed at the Joint Institute of Mechanical Engineering, is an integrated system of high-tech components consisting of a synchronous electric motor with a rated power of 80 kW and a maximum rotational speed of 9000 rpm, an inverter for its control across the entire operating load range with a power circuit supply voltage of no more than 500 V, and a matching gearbox containing an interwheel differential. The mechatronic module is designed for use in passenger cars and light commercial electric vehicles.
The information is published in the Catalog "100 Best Developments of the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus for the National Economy for 2022–2023," 2024, pp. 81–82.
