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 ...

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% ...

Comparing the axial-flux motor with the radial-flux motor for EVs. Advantages of the "yokeless" axial-flux motor. Details of the YASA axial-flux motor topology. If you find yourself wondering about an ...

The EV revolution has been all about batteries up to this point, but a new electric motor design breakthrough is about to change that. Say hello to the axial flux motor – the circular engine that is ...

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 ...

Car enthusiasts mourn the commoditization of propulsion. Once petrolheads would have chosen a BMW for its sonorous straight-six or a Mercedes-AMG for its thunderous V8. Now many believe that ...

What sets axial- and radial-flux electric motors apart? The pros and cons of axial flux and radial flux in serving the surging global electric-motor market demand. As the world rapidly electrifies, ...
