Accelerating E-Motor Innovations
Our Landscape
Electric Propulsion >>
-
High-power-density, lightweight electric motors for aerospace. Drive13 solutions reduce system weight, extend operating range, and deliver reliable performance for such weight-sensitive systems.
Actuator Motor >>
-
Compact actuator motors for dual-use in defense UXVs platforms, including aerial, maritime and underwater submarines, as well as civil platforms such as robotic and humanoid joints. Designed for precise motion, high torque density and reliable operation in mission-critical applications.
Space Pointing >>
-
High-accuracy pointing motors for optical payloads, antennas and solar arrays. Compact design and advanced thermal management enable precise, stable and reliable performance under extreme space conditions.
Our Technology Edge
Sustainable Materials >>
-
From neodymium in permanent magnets to copper in windings, the selective use of critical raw materials (CRMs) helps e-drive systems reduce supply risk and costs while preserving top-end performance for demanding applications.
Green Manufacturing >>
-
3D printing technology enables design freedom, cost-effective small-series production, and scalability without tooling investment — ideal for rapid iteration and low-risk scale-up. Furthermore, aluminum windings are lighter, more affordable, and outperform copper in high speed applications.
Durable Solutions >>
-
The power of a wire comes from the strength of its insulation and heat management. Our proprietary coating is applied after the winding is shaped, ensuring a defect-free dielectric layer. Together with advanced cooling solutions, this results in durable insulation, higher power density, and higher reliability under extreme stress.
Impactful Results
-
In high-frequency applications, Drive13 motors achieve market-leading power density enabled by optimized designs and the intrinsic advantage of aluminum’s lower AC losses compared to copper.
-
Our choice for aluminium offers the quickest and most affordable path to functional prototypes, due to our use of additive manufacturing and the absence of tooling costs. Drive13 will turn your innovative concept into an affordable reality.
-
Drive13 only applies its proprietary coating in the final production step, eliminating the introduction of mechanical stresses. In doing so, we can produce long-lasting windings, free from microcracks and partial discharges, a critical benefit for aerospace and other high-reliability sectors.
