SUSTAINABILITY REPORT 2023
OUR SUSTAINABILITY JOURNEY
Alvier Mechatronics started their sustainability journey in January 2023. Our company elected a sustainability champion who received expertise training on Sustainability.
OUR SUSTAINABILITY GOALS
Our first area of focus is the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals, or SDG’s. In future reports, our plan is to create additional metrics in current focus areas as well as metrics in even more areas to support as many SDG’s as possible.

Optimization and Comparative Analysis of Electric Machine Topologies with Varying Magnetic Materials
This research explores the integration of soft magnetic composite (SMC) materials in electric machines, comparing them with traditional laminated steel in various radial magnetic flux electric machine topologies designed for hybrid and electric vehicle traction.
Four distinct electric machine configurations are analyzed: rare earth interior permanent magnet synchronous machines (IPM), wound field synchronous machines (WFSM), spoke ferrite rare earth free permanent magnet synchronous machines (SP- FER), and induction (asynchronous) machines (IM). The benchmark is set by the IPM electric machine originating from a major Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM), serving as a reference point with volumetric envelope specifications and performance criteria.

Soft Magnetic Composite Application Examples Double Sided Axial Flux Machines
The past decade has seen significant development in the field of soft magnetic composite (SMC) materials and their application in electrical machines. A large part of this can be attributed to their isotropic magnetic properties, allowing for relatively complex structures to support magnetic flux whilst supressing losses.
This document presents a short overview of the SMC technology, from process to powder properties, together with a concept application study. The motor concept is an open-slot, double-sided axial flux machine (DSAFM) with 12 slots and 10 poles, designed to achieve a nominal specification. This concept has been modelled and simulated using JMAG, applying materials manufactured by Hoganas AB that are readily available in the JMAG material database. Details of the electromagnetic design process, model set-up and results are presented.

Soft Magnetic Composite Application Examples Single Sided Axial Flux Machines
The past decade has seen significant development in the field of soft magnetic composite (SMC) materials and their application in electrical machines.
This document presents a short overview of the SMC technology, from process to powder properties, together with a concept application study. The motor concept is an open-slot, single-sided axial flux machine (SSAFM) with 12 slots and 10 poles,
designed to achieve a nominal specification. This concept has been modelled and simulated using JMAG, applying materials that are readily available in the JMAG material database. Details of the electromagnetic design process, model set-up and results are presented.
