General Atomics Electromagnetic Systems (GA-EMS) Group is a global leader in the research, design, and manufacture of first-of-a-kind electromagnetic and electric power generation systems.
GA-EMS’ history of research, development, and technology innovation has led to an expanding portfolio of specialized products and integrated system solutions supporting, among other things, aviation, space systems and satellites.
For the development of a new aerospace motor, the General Atomics Engineering team needed a reliable and accurate way to collect a considerable amount of mechanical and electrical data. They ultimately decided on products from HBK, including an eDrive system, which allowed the GA-EMS team to quickly and accurately measure motor and inverter efficiency and help them understand how to improve their designs.
