To visualize a radial flux motor, think of two iron cylinders. One is fitted with magnets set around its outside and an axle running through its center (the rotor). Surrounding this cylinder is a ...

After nearly a decade in development, Belgian startup Magnax claims it has developed an ultra-high power, lightweight, compact axial flux electric motor with performance figures that blow away ...

The rise of axial-flux motors. Motor theory versus practice. Scalability of axial- and radial-flux motors. The future motor split. Many technologies have played a role in the electric-vehicle (EV) ...

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 ...
