Frameless Generator
What is a Frameless Generator?
Unlike traditional generators that have a frame enclosing the stator and rotor components, the frameless generators are designed without an external structure or frame. They consist of a rotor (the moving part) and a stator (the stationary part) that are integrated into the system/machinery where they’re used in; such as wind turbines, hydroelectric systems, Starter-generators, Auxiliary Power Unit or other applications.
The frameless design reduces weight and size of these generators making them more efficient and they can be easily customized to fit specific applications. They also have better heat dissipation & improved airflow around the components.

Frameless Design of the Generator
Frameless generators are designed with two primary components: the rotor and the stator. The rotor consists of high quality Neodymium Iron Boron (NdFeB) magnets and serves as the rotating element within the generator and is mounted directly onto the shaft of the system. The stator, on the other hand, comprises copper windings that surrounds the rotor and remains stationary. With this configuration electricity is generated through the interaction of a rotating magnetic field from the rotor and the stator. This whole arrangement is integrated within the system making it a compact and light solution for power generation in various applications.
Advantages of Frameless Generator
Some of the main reasons why Frameless generators are used include:
1. Compact Design: These generators can be integrated into the frame/housing of the system itself making them a compact and versatile choice where there are space constraints.
2. Reduced Weight: The frameless design makes it lightweight and reduces the size of the overall generator.
3. Enhanced Heat Dissipation: Having no frame or enclosure results in improved airflow over the stator winding making it easier to dissipate the heat.
4. High power-to-weight ratio: Frameless Generators also have a high power-to-weight ratio, which means they can generate a lot of power for their size and weight.
5. Bearingless design: Frameless Generators are Bearingless, which means that they have a longer lifespan and are more efficient than traditional generators.
Applications of Frameless Generator
Renewable Energy Systems: Frameless generators are commonly used in wind turbines and hydroelectric systems due to their efficiency and adaptability.
Industrial Machinery: They are integrated into industrial equipment where compact size, efficiency, and customized power generation are essential.
Aerospace and Aviation: Due to their lightweight and space-saving design, frameless generators are utilized in aerospace applications, including aircraft systems and satellite power generation.
Marine Systems: They are employed in marine environments for various applications, including on-board power generation in ships, boats, and offshore platforms, where space and weight considerations are crucial.
Hybrid & Electric Vehicles: Frameless generators have great potential in the EV sector, contributing to improved space efficiency and power generation in hybrid or electric propulsion systems.
