Axle motors, applied in locomotive traction, are mounted directly on the vehicle’s axle and can drive the connected wheels directly.
The benefits of axle motors are：
- The direct connection reduces energy transmission losses and enhances efficiency.
- Simplifying the structure by removing complex components like drive shafts and gearboxes simplifies the entire vehicle’s mechanical structure, aiding in weight reduction and operational efficiency.
- Furthermore, eliminating traditional bulky mechanical drive components frees up more interior space for other uses, such as passenger seating and storage.
- Axle motors respond quickly to control commands, improving vehicle acceleration and handling.
Practical applications of wheel axle motors as traction motors:
At the 2022 Berlin International Rail Transportation Technology Exhibition in Germany, CRRC Shandong showcased the “Magic” intelligent flat wagon, which incorporates our wheel axle motors.
- Modular design enables each railway flatcar to have a self-propulsion system.
- This design allows for unmanned operation, enhancing vehicle management efficiency.
- Additionally, the intelligent control system reduces energy consumption and manages load capacity effectively.
- The wheel axle motor drive system adopts a contactless drive system, improving operational efficiency.
- With direct-drive motors, the system is maintenance-free throughout its service life.
- Importantly, it significantly reduces logistics costs, lowers transportation expenses, and improves cargo loading and unloading efficiency.
Our axle motor’s performance characteristics include high power, high torque, and high load capacity. This features making it ideal for demanding applications in locomotive traction.
