Mechanical and Thermal Development

Do you need to reliably integrate electrical components into an overall system or installation space and design the thermal concept accordingly? We develop robust, durable systems for real-world use under harsh operating conditions.

Mechanical and thermal systems are essential to the functionality and service life of electric machines and vehicles.

We fully model all components in 3D CAD. In doing so, we take your requirements, operating conditions and manufacturability into account. Throughout the development process, the focus is on function, cost, and ease of assembly and service.

What we do

From components to the complete system

We support you with design engineering

Mechanical design engineering

We design parts and assemblies in CAD software and create a complete digital representation of the machine.

Design and sizing

Components are designed to operate reliably under real-world conditions and to be manufactured cost-effectively.

Simulation and analysis

For sizing, we use methods such as vibration analyses and finite element calculations.

Thermal management

We develop, simulate, validate and manufacture cooling and heating systems for the battery, power electronics and cabin.

Component integration

Electrical and mechanical components are integrated into a coordinated overall system.
