Trade war? Shortage of raw materials? – Solution

Rare earths such as neodymium and dysprosium are key components in permanent magnet synchronous motors (PMSM). China’s announced ban on rare earth exports threatens to cause production losses and rising costs.

One possible solution to this dilemma: switch to synchronous reluctance motors – which contain absolutely no rare earths.

KOSTAL has long since perfected the control of reluctance motors with its frequency inverters. Kostal control method optimally controls synchronous reluctance motors and assist motors using ferrite material, with precise vector control, maximum efficiency and high dynamics.

The result for you:

+ No use of rare earths and therefore no dependency

+ Full speed control range down to zero speed and positioning – naturally encoder-free

+ High dynamics & power density

+ Robust and scalable solution for industrial applications

The future belongs to those who remain independent. – KOSTAL provides the technology for this.

Get in touch – we’ll show you how you can position yourself to be independent of raw materials and future-proof.
