Motor Assembly for Electric Vehicles 

For electric drives, performance, weight and space savings are key. Adhesives are the perfect assembly solution as they can optimize light weight housing and magnet bonding, and also protect and insulate coil windings. 

For these applications, low viscosity adhesives with high adhesion to metals are needed. As metals are not permeable for UV light, Panacol provides dual curing adhesives. These adhesives cure primarily by UV light, with a secondary anaerobic or moisture cure mechanism for shadowed areas. For ferrite bonding or screw and thread locking applications these adhesives are the ideal solution.

Specially formulated adhesives are available for filament winding applications or wrapping components such as hybrid rotor shafts for electric motors and high-voltage surge arresters. These adhesives are designed for materials such as CFRP (carbon fibre reinforced polymer) or GFRP (glass fibre reinforced polymer). 

Panacol offers a variety of fast curing adhesive technologies that possess unique characteristics to better meet the challenges of electric motor and drive train assembly.  Adhesive properties include a wide selection of elongation values, high Tgs for less movement, and improved resiliency to meet the operating requirements of stator, rotor, and magnets through elevated temperatures, shock, and vibration.

The Panacol adhesive portfolio is broad, and includes 1- and 2-component epoxy adhesives as well as UV light and dual-curing adhesives. They are ideally suited for the various assembly and coating applications associated with electric engine assembly.
