Several companies around the globe have been hard at work innovating and refining magnet-free electric motors to make them a more viable option for the fast-growing EV industry. ZF Friedrichshafen has ...

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 ...

A new permanent magnet motor structure promises to greatly improve the efficiency of appliance and servo motors without increasing overall manufacturing costs. Utilizing a unique axial motor design ...

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 ...

Any enthusiast will be able to tell you the seat-of-the-pants characteristics of their favorite engine. The torque-peakiness of an Eighties turbo car, the endless rev-hungry climb of a naturally ...

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, ...

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 ...
