Axial flux motors are considered the ultimate future of electric vehicles and most importantly of electric aviation because they have a high torque-to-weight ratio, which is ideal for aircraft. Companies like Rolls Royce and Magnax have intense research and development in progress on these motors. Interestingly, the first-ever electrical generator, developed by the genius Michael Faraday, was an axial flux type. You can see the axis of rotation is parallel to flux lines. However, it never got its day in the sun 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 manufactures 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 consequence 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.
