17 % Cobalt-Iron - VACOFLUX X1
Specifically Developed and Optimized for Electric Motor Applications
VACOFLUX® X1 was specifically developed for the use in electric motor applications and to close the gap between silicon-iron and 49 % cobalt-iron alloys. Motors using the 17 % cobalt-iron alloy VACOFLUX X1 will be considerably better performing than with electrical steel, however they will also be considerably cheaper than motor designs based on 49 % cobalt-iron.
Benefits:
- High saturation polarization
- Reduced cobalt content compared to 49 % CoFe material
- Optimized for stamping & interlocking
- Strip thickness down to 0.1 mm (stamped) and 0.2 mm (interlocked)

Comparative study by drivetek AG - VACODUR 49 vs. NO20 vs. VACOFLUX X1
The starting point of the study is the specification of a traction machine with an output of 250 kW, which is available from a speed of 4,775 1/min.
The key data of the machine are:
Maximum speed - 15,000 rpm
Maximum torque - 499 Nm
Maximal power - 250 kW
Outer diameter of stator - 240 mm
Active length - 215 mm
Current at maximum torque - 400 Arms
Terminal voltage - 499 Vrms p-p
Increasing the phase current, will result in a torque increase of 12.5 %.

Lamination Stacks
Lamination stacks are packages using single laminations separated by electrical insulating layers to surpress eddy current losses during dynamic magnetic load.
49 % Cobalt-Iron
Thanks to their high magnetic saturation of up to 2.4 T, the cobalt-iron (CoFe) alloys VACOFLUX and VACODUR are generally suitable for all applications where high flux density and minimum weight are required. They are offering best possible parameters for highest performance electric motors/generators and magnetic actuators.
