Market requirements and the need for reduced emissions are pushing the demand for hybrid and electric traction both in the transportation and in the off-highway sectors. Over the next years e-drive units and e-axles will continue to evolve to meet industry specific requirements like increase in power density, efficiency improvement, weight and cost reduction, reliability.

In this presentation, Fava Elisabetta from Comer Industries show an Oil flow rate optimization of an Axcle with an Integrated input planetary stage for an uphill and downhill path. The simulation with ParticleWorks allow you to predict the oil flow path in the planetary stage when the machine in which it is mounted faces the changes of slope of the ground.
