1.2 BACKGROUNDER ON BOSCH POWER TOOLS ASIA CORDLESS RACE

2011

Bosch Power Tools Asia Cordless Race 2011In conjunction with Bosch’s 125 anniversary in 2011, Bosch Power Tools is taking the

opportunity to celebrate with a Bosch Power Tools Asia Cordless Race 2011. Participating

countries are: China, Thailand, Philippines, South Korea and Malaysia.

Open to students from any Malaysian university and / or technical institutions, the

championship will challenge students to design a blueprint for a racing kart powered entirely

by 4 Bosch GSB 18V-Li Professional cordless drills / drivers.

Eight teams will then be shortlisted, whereby each team will receive an allowance of

RM12,000 to build karts based on their blueprint submission. The finalists will then race their

Cordless Karts at the Open Car Park Space on Jalan Binjai, near KLCC on 30 July 2011 .

The winner of the race will represent Malaysia at the Grand Finals in Beijing, China and stand

a chance to win some amazing prizes.

4.3 THE MOTOR

New open-frame motor with 4-poles

It’s small in size, light in weight yet powerful

Magnetic force is applied to the whole rotor circumference

Combines rare earth magnets (strongest type of permanent magnets available) in a 4-

pole motor

Hence, results in a powerful high torque, efficient motor design

4.4 ELECTRONIC MOTOR PROTECTION

The Electronic Motor Protection (EMP) protects the motor from overload

It continuously controls the discharge current, temperature of the battery pack and

discharge status

The limits for these parameters are defined in such a way that the motor is protected

from damage

Depending on the measured values, an intelligent algorithm controls the motor

performance

As soon as the EMP recognizes an overload that could damage the batteries of the

motor, it shuts down the tool

Electronic Motor Protection

4.5 BOSCH PREMIUM LI-ION TECHNOLOGY

Benefits of Li-ion Battery

More power at the same weight

- Compared to Ni-technology batteries, therefore tools can get smaller and

lighter

No memory effect

- Battery does not need to be empty before charging. It can be taken out of the

charger before the charging process is completed

Significantly less self-discharge

- A battery that is not used for long periods of time do not need to be charged

prior to use again

No loss of power

- Full battery power from the first to the last screw or hole

4.6 ELECTRIC CELL PROTECTION

The Electric Cell Protection (ECP), protects the Li-ion battery from 3 dangers:

Deep Discharge

- Reduction of current flow if voltage level is at its end

Overheating

- Decreasing of the current flow if the tool or the battery is too hot

Overload

- Reducing currently flow if the current draw is too high

4.7 HEAT CONDUCTIVE HOUSING

The unique Bosch Heat Conductive Housing (HCH) on the battery pack works for reducing the

heat during the operation, through the following methods:

Heat balancing between the cells to ensure an equal temperature level within the

battery

The radiator outside the battery pack allows for an optimal heat emission from inside

the back
