Leading electrification specialist, Equipmake, has today unveiled an ultra-lightweight, power-dense electric motor, designed for high-performance space, aerospace, and marine applications.
Debuted at the Future Propulsion Conference, held in Solihull, UK, the HPM-400 is an advanced high power, short duration motor that was original specified as a high-performance rocket fuel pump for Australian company, Gilmour Space Technologies, for use in its Eris rocket programme.
Featuring several technological and packaging innovations born out of its need to withstand extreme acceleration while also operating at atmospheric pressure and in space, the HPM-400 has multiple applications in high-performance environments.
With a maximum motor speed of 20,000rpm, peak power/torque of 400kW/250Nm, yet a mass of just 30kg for the motor only, the HPM-400 is believed to be the most power dense in the world. Combined with its integrated silicon carbide inverter, which weighs only 10kg, the entire system tips the scales at just 40kg. 
Based in Snetterton, Norfolk, Equipmake provides the complete electric mobility solution – whatever the sector – offering the capability to design, test and manufacture everything from motors to fully electrified platforms.
