To visualize a radial flux motor, think of two iron cylinders. One is fitted with magnets set around its outside and an axle running through its center (the rotor). Surrounding this cylinder is a ...

ECM101, authored by ECM's R&D team and CTO Steven Shaw, Ph.D. illustrates how ECM's air-core axial flux motors enable fast, smooth, and precise attitude control for satellites, robotics, and ...

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 ...

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 ...

The basic principle of the axial-flux motor was developed by the British electric motor specialist YASA, which has been a wholly owned subsidiary of Mercedes-Benz AG since July 2021. The compact motor ...

Any enthusiast will be able to tell you the seat-of-the-pants characteristics of their favorite engine. The torque-peakiness of an Eighties turbo car, the endless rev-hungry climb of a naturally ...

The use of axial flux motors is gaining traction across industries, particularly in the electric motor space. Axial flux motors or pancake motors are mechanically configured to provide specific ...

Axial flux motors have really started to make some noise in the electric mobility market of late. Adding to the hype, British market innovator YASA announced that it's opening a state-of-the-art ...
