As global regulations on fuel consumption and emissions become increasingly stringent, automakers are under pressure to innovate cost-effective and reliable hybrid solutions. Among these, 48V mild hybrid technology has emerged as a popular choice due to its balance of efficiency, simplicity, and affordability. At the heart of this system lies the BSG motor—the Belt Starter Generator—offering a compact yet powerful enhancement to conventional internal combustion engines.
In this article, we will explore what a BSG motor is, its role in hybrid systems, and how HONEST Automation's automated BSG motor stator assembly line is helping global manufacturers meet modern demands for performance and scalability.
Understanding the BSG Motor in a 48V Mild Hybrid System
The BSG motor, or Belt Starter Generator, is a type of electric motor mounted at the front end of the engine and connected via a belt drive to the crankshaft. Unlike conventional starter motors, the BSG motor is multifunctional: it starts the engine, assists in acceleration, enables regenerative braking, and helps smooth out start-stop operations. This configuration is often referred to as the P0 hybrid architecture.
Key Functions of a BSG Motor:
Start/Stop Functionality: Smooth and silent restarting of the engine during stop phases.
Torque Assist: Provides additional torque during acceleration, reducing engine load.
Regenerative Braking: Converts kinetic energy into electricity during braking.
Battery Charging: Acts as a generator to recharge the 48V lithium-ion battery pack.
Because the BSG motor operates in tandem with the combustion engine and cannot drive the vehicle independently, it is categorized as a mild hybrid system. However, it plays a crucial role in improving fuel economy by up to 15% and reducing CO₂emissions—especially valuable in compact and mid-size vehicle platforms.
The Role of the Stator in BSG Motor Performance
At the core of the BSG motor lies the stator, a critical component responsible for generating the rotating magnetic field that powers the rotor. The precision and quality of the stator assembly directly affect the motor’s torque output, efficiency, and operational reliability.
Given the increasingly compact and high-speed design of 48V systems, manufacturers face growing challenges in ensuring:
High winding density with consistent tension
Secure coil insertion and reliable insulation
Uniform stator slot filling and lacing
Comprehensive quality inspection under high-volume production
This is where HONEST’s advanced stator assembly equipment makes the difference.
