A new material that achieves lightweight and high torque for drones.
In the drone industry, there is a constant demand for lightweight designs to extend flight time and increase payload capacity. In particular, motors are crucial components that significantly affect the performance of the aircraft, and it is essential for them to be compact and lightweight while delivering sufficient torque. Traditional electromagnetic steel plates have posed challenges in manufacturing complex-shaped motor cores and performance degradation associated with miniaturization. Soft magnetic composite (SMC) 'Somaloy(R)' addresses these issues and supports the further evolution of drones. 【Application Scenarios】 ■ Motors for drones that require miniaturization and lightweight design ■ Axial gap motors that need high torque density ■ Motor installation in limited spaces 【Benefits of Implementation】 ■ Significant reduction in motor dimensions and weight ■ Contribution to overall weight reduction of the aircraft through miniaturization ■ Improved efficiency through reduced iron loss in high-frequency ranges
