The high-voltage extension has been designed for electrified off road and mobile applications
Parker Hannifin, a specialist in motion and control technologies, has launched a high-voltage extension to its NX8M mobile motor family. The NX8M high-voltage range allows the use of Parker's compact permanent-magnet motors on higher-power vehicles equipped with high-voltage batteries, providing compact, cost-efficient power for electrified off-road and mobile applications
The NX8M high-voltage range is designed for challenging mobile and off-road applications, including construction vehicles, refuse trucks, electric pleasure boats, airport ground vehicles, and small electric traction platforms such as truck cranes, electric actuators and electro-hydraulic pump (EHP) systems.
The NX8M can support voltages up to 800VDC, deliver up to 99kW, and run at 8000rpm. It is available in three high-voltage sizes, with a square 156mm frame, compatible with SAE A, SAE B, or ISO 3019/2 for direct pump mounting.
Several winding options enable optimising speed and efficiency across varying vehicle architectures and battery voltages. The design details feature optional water and oil cooling and resolver feedback for reliable operation in demanding environments.
Bruno Jouffrey, mobile market manager, Electric Motion and Pneumatic Division, Parker Hannifin, said, “Customers asked for a high-voltage version of our NX8 family so they could extend the motor’s proven benefits to higher-power vehicles. The NX8M high-voltage range preserves the compactness, ease of mounting and reliability our customers expect, while delivering the power and efficiency required for modern electrified mobile platforms.”
