Tresa Motors has introduced the FLUX 350 platform - a Permanent Magnet Synchronous Axial Flux Motor. In a realm traditionally dominated by radial flux motors, Tresa's Axial Flux Motors break new ground with a unique axial magnetic flux configuration. This inventive design, meticulously developed in-house over an intensive 11-12-month period encompassing simulations, research, and engineering efforts, promises a transformative influence on the electric truck sector.
The FLUX 350 employs a stackable arrangement of stator and rotor discs, resulting in a compact, flattened structure. This design delivers an exceptional torque-to-weight ratio and efficient power transmission, rendering it particularly suited for demanding applications such as electric trucks.
India's EV sector has often relied on foreign expertise for key components, making Tresa Motors' achievement all the more significant. "Our ambition is to make India a hub for cutting-edge technology and innovation," said Rohan Shravan, Founder and CEO, Tresa Motors "By investing in the development of fundamental technologies like Axial Flux Motors, we aim to elevate India's stature on the global stage and create a brighter future for our nation."
Navigating the intricacies of over 100 interdependent parameters was facilitated through tailored integration of simulation software. This allowed the team to conceive a motor that not only surpassed performance expectations but also tackled pivotal aspects of manufacturing feasibility.
Through collaboration with precision manufacturers in Bangalore renowned for their expertise linked to entities like ISRO and major automakers, Tresa Motors surmounted manufacturing challenges that even dissuaded larger industry players from involvement. The outcome was a motor seamlessly integrating Neodymium magnets, offering heightened magnetic flux, alongside a stator lamination stack representing a true engineering triumph.
Their approach of intentionally pushing the motor to its limits yielded invaluable insights. Subsequent refinements paved the way for the FLUX 350's durability and enduring reliability. The FLUX 350 signifies a pivotal stride toward fostering a sustainable, technologically advanced, and self-reliant EV industry in India.
