Abstract

The development of traction motors with easily recyclable rare-earth permanent magnets (PMs) is studied. The primary objective is to find means and technologies that enable the reuse of the PMs without extracting their elements. Both the motor design and PM assembly need to be aligned with this target. Especially, we are focusing on metallic encapsulation of the PMs to make them strong enough to tolerate the disassembly forces. First, we discuss the design, addressing the positioning of the encapsulated PMs to balance between the mechanical and electromagnetic requirements. Second, we present the first results on the encapsulation of the PMs for intact disassembly, elaborating on the materials, manufacturing via direct energy deposition, and visual inspection of the results. We aim to contribute to the emergence of the next generation less rare-earth-element-dependent, compact, and energy-efficient electric traction motors.
