E-Mobility components
Wieland components for more efficient electric motors and batteries. The optimization of the battery as a key element of electric mobility has triggered a comprehensive increase in the efficiency of all components - from the rotor to the cabling and the drive train. As a long-standing and proven partner of the automotive industry, Wieland uses its extensive know-how and unique access to key technologies to develop advanced components for electric mobility.
Wide range of solutions
Wieland offers a wide range of solutions:
- Rotors – assembled and cast
Wieland manufactures copper rotors and aluminum rotors for induction and asynchronous machines. Wieland's rotors can be both assembled or cast to meet the highest performance requirements. They offer excellent electrical conductivity and are ideal for applications where efficiency and reliability are critical. Our rotors not only offer high performance, but also durability and reliability in operation. - Compact connector units
Our contacting components for stator windings are ideal for applications where space is limited. They enable efficient use of the available space and ensure a reliable electrical connection. - Overmolded busbars
Our overmolded busbars offer a robust and reliable solution for electrical connection and power distribution in vehicles. They are designed for high currents and ensure efficient power transmission. - Shunts and shunt sensors for precise current measurement
Wieland offers precision resistors that are essential for high-precision measurements in electric motors and battery systems. Our products play an important role in precise current measurement and monitoring in electrical systems. They enable accurate measurement of currents and thus contribute to the safety and efficiency of electric vehicles and storage solutions.
Leading manufacturer
As one of the leading suppliers of semi-finished products in copper and copper alloys, including strips for connectors, semiconductor and electronic components, Wieland is a reliable partner from prototype development to series production.

Wieland-Werke AG
This is our Wieland-Werke AG product portfolio.
Materials
Wieland offers you ready-to-install copper rotor bars of consistently high quality at maximum cost efficiency. This is guaranteed by our fully automated processes across the entire value stream.
In addition, the rotor bars can be manufactured in complex geometries, varying lengths, straight or twisted, and with or without notches. This enables unique rotor designs - from development to series product - from the smallest sample batch to mass production.
We also offer engineering support during the development of your application-specific design. Furthermore, Wieland offers two different processes to produce rotors to meet your individual requirements. Both processes offer manufacturing with a very high degree of material filling without air inclusions, and we can draw on a wide range of experience from prototypes to series production.
Materials
The fabricated Wieland copper rotor is a new and innovative design, which is designed according to your requirements. Due to the disc-shaped design of the short-circuit ring, different materials can be combined individually, and fulfill the requirements for higher power densities and rotation speeds.
Additionally, the fabricated design has a higher mechanical strength and enables a very scalable, flexible, and economical approach for rotor production.
Overview of possible materials:
(All copper-based materials are produced in-house and are available in various strength levels)

We offer individual solutions and support in development by taking DFM (= Design for Manufacturing) into account and can also offer prototypes from our prototype shop. We are happy to accompany you through all sample phases up to series production.
Materials
For contacting in the electric drive train or between the battery and the electric machine, Wieland offers you a wide variety of designs (e.g. fully overmolded; assembled) of ready-to-install connector units and overmolded busbars. The design of these is based on your requirements, which enables contacting in the tightest of spaces.
To evaluate your design and the corresponding requirements, please contact us via the contact address below.
We carry out all process steps in-house, and because of this we can find the best alloy combination for your application. Our offerings don’t end at only using our alloys. We also can evaluate using materials and alloys from other manufacturers.
Materials
With the use of our specially developed resistance alloys, electron beam welded multi-metal strips are ideal as pre-material for shunts.
Wieland offers shunts in various standard dimensions as well as customized designs. For this purpose, development, sample, and series production are located in-house.
Materials
Our standard shunts are designed according to uniform sizes and resistance values.
Currently, the Wieland portfolio includes the following basic shunts.
| Variant | Length [mm] | Width [mm] | Power Rating [W] | Resistance values [µΩ] |
| W6918 | 69 | 18 | 36 | 50, 100 |
| W8518 | 85 | 18 | 36 | 50, 100 |
| W8420 | 84 | 20 | 36 | 50, 100 |
| W8436 | 84 | 36 | 50 | 25, 50 |
| W8536 | 85 | 36 | 50 | 25, 50 |
