Wherever battery-electric machines are operated without power infrastructure, there is a risk that the battery charge will run low before the work is completed. In these applications, the flywheel-integrated permanent magnet generator, fiPMG, reliably supplies power to the battery even under the harshest conditions, thus maximizing machine availability.
The fiPMG generators are suitable for use in hybrid systems, as backup during power outages, or for permanent energy supply. Drives with integrated fiPMG generators allow for longer battery-electric machine operation and thus help reduce emissions. If necessary, accordingly equipped machines can be used in emission-free operation. This relieves the combustion engine and is environmentally friendly.
Thanks to the extremely compact dimensions of the fiPMG, hardly any adjustments to the machine design are necessary. With an installation depth of 35 mm and a weight of 3 kg, the Hatz fiPMG’s are over 85 percent lighter and shorter than conventional generators. Due to the still available power take-off shaft, the machine is even more flexible in design. As a prefabricated and tested drive package, the engines with fiPMG technology are easy for the machine manufacturer to install and assemble. Integration into the battery charging structure of the machine is made easy thanks to the use of the CAN bus technology, leading to a user-friendly plug-and-play system.
