Some of the most common types of axial fans are vaneaxial, tubeaxial and duct fans, which are designed to be installed in ...

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 ...

TOKYO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Toshiba Corporation (TOKYO:6502) has launched the industry's first 1 digital- control-type sine-wave driver ICs for single axial fan motors, which are used in products like ...

Today, most electric machines operate with radial flux (RF). Magnax offers a new concept, though—a machine that operates with axial flux (AF). Figure 1 provides a comparison of the RF and AF ...

Less than two months after smashing its own (unofficial) record in power density with its proprietary axial flux motor, YASA has unveiled a real-world application of the technology as an in-wheel ...

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% ...

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 ...

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 ...

Selecting a motor for a specific application can be a challenging task. Many factors must be considered, including the application’s required voltage, maximum current and diameter, speed, efficiency, ...

Mercedes-Benz provided a flight from DC to San Diego and a return from Los Angeles, plus four nights’ hotels so we could meet the Vision One-Eleven as well as drive a new Mercedes-AMG plug-in hybrid ...

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 ...

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 ...
