BMW has a novel way to hold the magnets in place in an axial flux motor, with an eye toward efficiency and long-term durability. Being a central part of the motor core, rotor design is critical to ...

Tesla was first to patent a primitive axial-flux electric motor—Nikola Tesla, that is, way back in 1889. It would be 126 years before the concept found its way to a car, the 1,500-horsepower (1,103 ...

Description: This axial integral horsepower has an expanded power range of its motor to 3–15 horsepower. It debuted with a max 10 horsepower last year. The new release increases the offering to 15 ...

MUNICH, Germany—ZF unveiled an electric motor that does not require magnets or rare earth materials, reducing reliance on mining in countries such as China and cutting manufacturing's carbon footprint ...

Nidec Corporation announced that the Nidec Research and Development Center has developed a motor-drive system based on a SiC inverter. The Nidec Research and Development Center has succeeded in making ...

Lamborghini has once again pushed the boundaries of automotive innovation with the Tamario, a hybrid supercar that integrates three innovative axial flux motors developed by Yasa. These motors, ...

Modern EVs are heavy, due to the batteries and chunky electric motors that power them. But this new electric motor could ...

Linear motors are becoming increasingly practical for general motion. Many are used for long strokes of a few feet or more. One new design, however, where the magnets move relative to a stationary ...

In the everything old is new again folder, [Lesics] has a good overview of axial flux motors. These are promising for electric vehicles, especially aircraft, since the motors should have high torque ...
