About RMS
Core Team
Rinehart Motion Systems has developed
the PM-family of standard motor controls
from 50kW ... 500kW peak output for the
300V class and the 600V class of battery
electric and hybrid electric vehicles.
The PM100 in production today is the
smallest, lightest drive commercially
available today at 100kW peak output.
Rinehart Motion Systems uses advanced
power electronics and proprietary
packaging technology to reduce the size,
weight and cost of systems for customers in
the commercial, industrial, automotive,
motorsport, military and civilian aerospace
equipment, alternative energy, and
electricity storage markets that require a
more robust and compact solution.
