EV NVH control requires CNC machining of 6061-T6 aluminum and PA66+GF30 for motor mounts, suspension bushings, and acoustic shields with damping feature tolerance ±0.05 mm and resonance frequency control. Critical parts include tuned mass dampers and vibration
Quick Answer
EV NVH control requires CNC machining of 6061-T6 aluminum and PA66+GF30 for motor mounts, suspension bushings, and acoustic shields with damping feature tolerance ±0.05 mm and resonance frequency control. Critical parts include tuned mass dampers and vibration isolation mounts.
Definition
CNC machining for NVH control involves precision components that manage vibrations from electric motors, reduction gears, and road inputs. EVs lack engine noise masking, making NVH control more critical than ICE vehicles.
How It Works
Tuned Mass Damper Machining: Precision milling of weights and spring rates.
Bushing Pocket Machining: Accurate recesses for rubber isolation mounts.
Acoustic Shield Machining: Perforated panels for sound absorption.
Resonance Frequency Tuning: Machining mass distribution for specific frequencies.
