    Marand Electric Solar Car In-Wheel Motors

    Solar Car Wheel Motor Information Sheet


    Marand Precision Engineering is now offering a complete Solar Car Wheel Motor
    incorporating Marands very high efficiency Axial Flux Permanent Magnet Motor. The
    motor is based on the solar car motor designed by the CSIRO and now licensed to Marand.
    The motor is intended to be a
    complete turn key solution for solar
    car teams who want a quick and
    simple drive solution for their
    vehicle.
    Every component of the 40 pole
    wheel motor has been designed with
    high efficiency in mind, minimising
    all sources of electrical, aerodynamic
    and mechanical losses in the system.
    The electro-mechanical components
    of the motor are precision
    manufactured from high performance
    Neodymium magnets and high
    temperature Litz wire to maximise
    efficiency and power. The wheel
    design incorporates the latest low
    friction energy efficient bearings
    from SKF and internal windage
    reduction to further minimise losses
    in the system.

    The wheel has been designed for high strength and low weight, and eliminates the need for
    a drive train and the associated energy losses. Its low mass can be attributed to eliminating
    any material which is not absolutely required to maintain the performance of the motor.
    The performance characteristics of the motor are given in table 1 below.

    Marand Electric Solar Car In-Wheel Motors


    The stator windings have no iron core, and extensive weight reduction is carried out on the
    magnet backing plates in areas of low magnetic flux. The Motor Frame has been CNC
    machined out of aerospace grade aluminium to be lightweight and maintain its strength
    under the high magnetic loads and driving forces. The
    design keeps the entire mass of the wheel below 16kg.
    The three piece motor frame design, developed by
    Marand, allows for use with both the 3 Michelin tyres
    and 1.6 Dunlop tyres, common in solar car racing. The
    removable rim has significant advantages over an integral
    rim. In the event of tyre blow-out or a severe impact
    which can damage the rim, only the rim will need to be
    replaced, not the entire motor frame, significantly
    reducing the cost of replacement parts.

    The motor is supplied with all components to be


    assembled onto the solar car including wiring harness for
    both power and controls, and three inductors usually
    necessary for connection between your chosen motor
    controller and the motor.
    The motor is supplied fully tested on Marands custom
    built dynamometer, and issued with a test certificate
    Pricing for the complete wheel motor is $26,000 AUD
    and is available in a range of colour anodised finishes.
    Contact Marand now to place an order.
    Note: Prices and specifications are subject to change
    without notice. The motor is supplied to order Ex
    Works, Melbourne, Australia.
