 Axial Flux Motors – The New Hope

Axial flux motors are considered the future solution for electric vehicles and especially electric aviation, as they have a high torque-to-weight ratio, which is ideal for airplanes. Companies like Rolls-Royce and Magnax carry out intense research and development activities on these engines. It is interesting to note that the very first electric generator, developed by the brilliant Michael Faraday, was an axial flow model. We can see that the axis of rotation is parallel to the flux lines. However, he never had his heyday back then.
A new type of motor is increasingly important in the e-mobility industry - the axial flow type. And, in this video, we are going to discuss everything related to this motor that we know. For example, how it works, what are its applications, who is manufacturing these motors, and much more. Curious to know? Then, stick to this video until the end.Let’s start with this question: What is an axial flux motor? 

A motor is a mechanism that converts motor energy into mechanical energy. Its work is based on the electromagnetic interaction of the magnetic field created by the windings and magnets of the structure. It is divided into two categories based on the direction of the magnetic field: axial flux motors and radial flux motors. The focus of this video is on axial motors and how they differ from radial motors, but there is also a brief description of their application.

The gap between the rotor and the stator, and therefore the direction of the magnetic flux between them, is parallel to the axis of rotation in axial flux motors, not radial as in the more common radial slit motors. Axial flux motors are an important result of the use of industrial equipment. Axial flux motors are available from a wide variety of suppliers and companies, as well as from a wide variety of manufacturers and distributors.
They have been used in stationary applications such as elevators and agricultural machinery for many years, but over the last decade, a number of developers have worked to improve the technology to make it suitable for applications such as electric motorcycles, airport pods, vans, electric cars, and even airplanes.

Conventional radial flux motors using permanent magnets or induction motors in an electric field are undergoing extensive development to optimize their weight and cost. That can only go so far, however, so moving to a completely different machine type such as axial flux might be a good alternative.

Axial flux permanent magnet machines typically produce more torque per motor power than radial motors because the active magnet surface is the motor rotor surface, not the outside diameter.
