From motor design to a running machine.

Motoreka is the motor design brand of EMDLab at Universiti Malaysia Pahang Al-Sultan Abdullah. Two programmes teach how electric motors are designed and built: one for engineering teams, one for TVET and university labs.

Programmes

Two programmes, one way of teaching

Each programme gives you something to learn from, something to practise on, and training to master it.

For engineers, teams and lecturers

EV Traction Motor

Size, choose and check a traction motor, from the vehicle brief to a finite-element check in FEMM. A course for engineering teams, a companion book, and tools that carry your numbers from one step to the next.

Who we are

Built by motor designers

Motoreka comes out of EMDLab, a research group at UMPSA that designs electric machines: synchronous reluctance, PM-assisted synchronous reluctance, interior permanent magnet and hairpin-wound traction motors. The same design methods we use in research, including finite element models in the open-source FEMM, go into our trainers and courses.

That is why the trainer opens up. Students see the laminations, slots and end windings they calculate, and engineers leave our courses with numbers they can defend.
