<\/p>\nAt next week’s LogiMAT trade show in Germany, Bosch is set to showcase its high-performance electric drive for battery voltages of up to 800-volts, tailored to the specific requirements of heavy-duty machines used in port and warehouse operations.<\/p>\n
As a result, heavy-duty forklifts, truck tractor units, or seaport transporters in terminals and distribution centres can now be equipped with electric drives.<\/p>\n
According to Bosch, the compact dimensions enable straightforward integration into tight installation spaces, meaning that existing device platforms can also benefit from electric propulsion.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The 800-volt drive system consists of the Bosch electric motor SMG230 and a highly efficient inverter equipped with silicon carbide power modules. The motor is designed for system voltages of 400- to 850-volts.<\/p>\n
In an ideal voltage and temperature range, Bosch says it offers a continuous power output of 188 kW and around 250 Nm of torque. Up to 550 Nm of peak torque can be delivered on a short-term basis.<\/p>\n
Thanks to the 800-volt technology, the power density has also been increased significantly. The new motor delivers up to 80 kW more power than a comparable 400-volt machine with identical weight or, with the same level of performance, boasts more compact dimensions and a much lower weight.<\/p>\n
Engineered to meet the specific requirements of the 800-volt system, the silicon carbide semiconductors in the power modules enable faster switching operations and steeper switching slopes, meaning that significantly less energy is lost in the form of heat.<\/p>\n
The inverters of the drive system with silicon carbide semiconductors thus offer efficiency of more than 99 per cent.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
