Compliant Mechanism-Based Electric Motor Design
About
Conventional electric motors consist of multi-part stators and rotors, leading to increased manufacturing and assembly costs. In this project, we propose an innovative compliant mechanism-based design to develop an integrated stator-rotor structure in a single piece.
This approach will enable:
-
More compact, lightweight, and durable motor structures through mechanical flexibility,
-
Significant reductions in manufacturing and assembly costs,
-
Improvements in vibration, noise, and maintenance requirements,
-
High-performance applications in aerospace, defense, automotive, and robotics sectors.
The project will leverage compliant mechanism design and advanced simulation methods to achieve these objectives. Through international collaboration, we aim to commercialize this technology and adapt it across diverse industrial sectors.
We are looking for partners in:
-
Companies with expertise and proven experience in compliant mechanisms,
-
Firms working on exoskeletons, space applications, and robotics projects where integrated motors can be applied,
-
Institutions specialized in mechanical design optimization and advanced simulation,
-
Industrial partners focusing on application integration and commercialization.
