Metal-forming is literally the foundation of every new-vehicle development program. Amsted Automotive's award-winning powder metal and market-leading metal-stamping and cold-forming technology provide the opportunity to automakers for gains in overall vehicle efficiency, packaging and sustainability. The extraordinarily broad range of metal-shaping technology provided by Amsted will be demonstrated at the 2024 MEMA OE Conference, November 12-13, 2024, in Novi, Michigan.
Amsted Automotive examples on display will include electric motor housings, actuators, electric and hybrid vehicle battery trays, gears, brake pistons and various suspension and chassis components. Demonstrations will also feature the use of Soft Magnetic Composites (SMC) in an electric motor. Amsted's process capabilities and product knowledge enables the production of complex designs that reduce material waste and improve overall performance and efficiency.
The Amsted display will also include the company's superior range-extending EV and HEV powertrain solutions including a unique eAxle Disconnect system for EV and Hybrid platforms. This technology is in production, providing smooth shifts between 2-wheel drive and 4-wheel drive modes in less than 20 milliseconds.
Amsted Automotive's latest efficiency and performance-improving innovation is its Multi-Speed Shift Technology will launch in an EV production vehicle in 2026. This multi-speed shift technology uses integrated One-Way-Clutch (OWC) functionality to optimize function, efficiency, range and cost in EV and HEV drivetrains. This technology can provide flexible system solutions to achieve smooth and quick shift transitions with simplified shift controls compared to conventional technology.
MEMA represents the largest manufacturing sector in the United States — the vehicle supplier industry — with more than 4.8 million jobs. The MEMA OE Conference brings together executives, engineers and buyers from auto manufacturers and automotive supplier companies to discuss current and future challenges and work together to develop solutions.
Participants in this event can visit Amsted in booth #200 to see examples of all these technologies. The event takes place November 12-13, 2024, at Suburban Collection Showplace in Novi, Michigan.
