Axial Flux Electric Motor

Since then a british company yasa has begun production of axial flux motors aimed at the ev market.

Axial flux electric motor.

Axial flux motors on the other hand offer the lowest possible copper loss. Because of this they are suitable for a range of high performance drivetrain applications. At the right the concentrated windings of the magnax axial flux motor. An axial flux motor also known as an axial gap motor or pancake motor is a geometry of motor construction where the gap between the rotor and stator and therefore the direction of magnetic flux between the two is aligned parallel with the axis of rotation rather than radially as with the concentric cylindrical geometry of the more common radial gap motor.

In other words more of the battery power gets turned into useful motor power. In 2005 roman sušnik from slovenia tested an electric propulsion system for a glider aircraft. Cooling in case of radial flux machines the heat has to be transported through the stator to the outside of the machine. While the vast majority of electric motors currently in circulation are radial flux designs magnax claims the key to the high power density it s achieving is the direct drive axial flux design.

This translates to higher efficiency. The coil overhang in a traditional radial flux motor is not beneficial for its functioning left. Magnax supports the global cleantech evolution by innovating in next generation axial flux electric motor technology for electric vehicles.
