Motor Guard

Designed and manufactured an FSAE rules legal scatter guard to enclose the EMRAX 228

What?

  • With an spinning exterior electric motor powering the vehicle, the rules mandate a scatter guard to fully surround the motor

  • Must be rigid enough such that it does not vibrate, but also easy to remove for serviceability of the motor

How?

  • In the SolidWorks assembly, I identified mounting points for rigidity and installation accessibility

  • Designed four tabs and a unique overlapping motor guard for ease of alignment and reduced mass

Results

  • Surrounded the motor fully, ensuring technical inspection passes

  • Reduced mass compared to last year by 15% due to smaller mounting tabs

  • Maintained ease of removal in a tightly packaged chassis and driveline system
