Welcome to the Electrolock Blog!

Batteries power so many of the devices and equipment we rely on every day. Few, however, face the demands of those placed on them like batteries used by the military. Today’s soldiers rely on batteries to power their equipment in extreme and often dangerous conditions. Military battery manufacturers rely on Electrolock’s engineers to deliver solutions...Read More

Marketplace demand for Polyimide Film is outpacing availability, but Electrolock has the supply to meet your needs. The current Polyimide Film supply shortage is the result of significant demand from flatscreen electronics manufacturers. The thermal transfer properties of modified Polyimide Film make it perfect for use in LCD screens and other similar electronics applications. Supply...Read More

We’re noticing an interesting shift in the battery, electric vehicle, and power generation industries, reinforced by our recent interactions at The Battery Show North America 2018 in Novi, Michigan. After three days of speaking with experts from the fields of battery technologies, electric vehicles, and critical power, there is clearly a new wave of excitement...Read More

Polyshrink PVF So much of what goes into the end result of a product stems from what happens during production. Testing, validating, and perfecting a process over time is something our engineers take with a hands-on approach. This is evident with our PVF shrink films, a tailored approach to high performance sacrifice and release films...Read More

Have you ever bought a suit off the rack and had it fit perfectly? We didn’t think so. For a perfect fit, you’d go to a tailor to custom design your suit. Electrolock is the custom designer of spiral wound tubing. Electrolock understands that your company’s needs are unique. Our approach begins by defining your...Read More

There seems to be an endless array of electric motor topologies, architectures, and configurations. Among the many design choices that engineers face is the shape of copper wire that is wound in the stator. In a new paper published in the IEEE Transactions on Industry Applications, researchers compared using flat wire hairpin winding and stranded...Read More

Want more power from that motor? Try redesigning your slot liner. Optimizing slot liner design can help create the most power from your hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) or electric vehicle (EV). One of the biggest challenges for the HEV/EV manufacturers is how to achieve more horsepower from the same size motor. How do you optimize...Read More

Electric generators contain a rotating rotor that induces an electric field into the stator winding to produce electric current. Electrolock’s rotor insulation is used to insulate copper turns in these rotor windings, providing a dielectric barrier between copper bars that carry current. Insulated copper bars are stacked into a metal slot through the length of...Read More

When there is a need for high temperature, fire resistant wire insulation that can provide circuit integrity in applications up to 500⁼C, at voltage levels up to 1000 volts, design engineers are looking for insulation materials that go beyond the traditional extruded rubber or plastics found in conventional cables.Read More
