That means that the magnetic field that makes these motors work is parallel to their axis of rotation. That’s similar to the concept adopted by Magnax, apart from the fact the axial flux motor from ...

Yasa, a Mercedes-Benz subsidiary, has announced an axial flux electric motor that can make a peak of 1,005 hp and weighs just ...

Compact axial-flux electric motors are poised to be the next big thing in EV propulsion. These devices are commonly called "pancake" motors because they are flat, thin, and circular, like a pancake or ...

Mercedes is betting big on axial flux electric motors for its future electric AMG performance vehicles — but don’t expect the tech to be limited to low-production products from Affalterbach. First, a ...

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 ...

Energy efficiency – either for electric or ICE cars – is achieved by one of these three pillars: mass, aerodynamics or powertrain. Researchers from the Carnegie Mellon University will be able to ...

Electric vehicles are heavy, but have you heard they’re fast, too? Automakers are barking up the wrong tree when it comes to what enthusiasts want. Lightweight electric roadsters and sports cars just ...

Mercedes-Benz recently acquired British axial flux motor designer YASA. The company’s high-performance motor technology was on full display in the automaker’s new Vision One-Eleven electric vehicle ...

YASA develops axial flux motors delivering up to 4x the performance of radial flux motors. The company is scaling to produce 25,000 motors annually by 2025. Ferrari and Mercedes-Benz are among its key ...

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 ...

This AF430S motor from Turntide Technologies answers a call for electrification in components in industrial equipment and performance vehicles. The lightweight axial flux motor delivers up to 96% ...
