Innovative Power Solutions for unmanned Systems
Plettenberg specializes in the design and production of generators, starters, and associated electronics tailored for combustion engines in unmanned system applications. Our generators range from 500 W to an notable 15 kW, catering to diverse power needs.
Advanced Starter-Generator Systems
our integrated starter-generator systems initiate the combustion engine and seamlessly transition to generator mode, providing essential electrical power for onboard electronics. Many of our brushless DC (BLDC) motors serve as the foundation for these starter-generator systems, which are paired with a dedicated electronic control unit to create a cohesive power solution.
Versatile Installation Options
We offer our systems in various configurations: as external generators (autonomous of the combustion engine), attachment kits (designed to be mounted onto the engine), or integration kits (for incorporation within the engine housing). Our generators are compatible with boxer engines, inline engines, and single-cylinder engines ranging from 100 to 650 cm³.
Compact and Efficient Design
All our generators and starters boast exceptional power-to-weight ratios and high efficiency,making them ideal for applications where a combustion engine is necessary for extended operational range or duration. Furthermore, our ruggedly designed generators and starter-generators, along with their electronic components, are built to withstand the most challenging environmental conditions.
Customization to Meet your Needs
We understand that each application is unique. Therefore, we offer customization options for our generators and starter-generators to align with specific customer requirements. This includes custom housing and various mounting configurations to suit different engine types.
