Axial Flux Electric Motor

At the right the concentrated windings of the magnax axial flux motor.

Axial flux electric motor.

Magnax supports the global cleantech evolution by innovating in next generation axial flux electric motor technology for electric vehicles. The coil overhang in a traditional radial flux motor is not beneficial for its functioning left. The evo permanent magnet axial flux motors are based on proprietary and patented technology that. 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.

Axial flux motors on the other hand offer the lowest possible copper loss. The axial flux motor from his tests later went into production in the emrax motor line with four different size motors available. Since then a british company yasa has begun production of axial flux motors aimed at the ev market. Because of this they are suitable for a range of high performance drivetrain applications.

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. Evo axial flux electric motors have one of the highest usable power and torque densities of any electric vehicle drive motor available on the market today. In other words more of the battery power gets turned into useful motor power.
