An axial flux motor (axial gap motor, or pancake motor) is a geometry of electric 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 ...

Axial flux electric motors have magnets that are located in planes parallel to the coil, allowing them to generate a small rotational amount of magnetic flux, resulting in a reduction in the moment of inertia and the overall mass of the rotor.

2022年7月9日 · 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. In a radial flux motor, the magnetic flux is perpendicular to the axis of rotation.

2023年10月26日 · An axial flux motor is an electric motor design with a unique configuration where the magnetic flux runs parallel to the motor's shaft. This layout allows for compact, high-torque, and lightweight motor designs, making it suitable for various applications, including electric vehicles and renewable energy systems.

2024年8月22日 · What is an Axial Flux Motor? Axial flux motors differ from radial flux motors primarily in the direction of their magnetic flux path. While both types operate on the same electromagnetic principles, the key difference lies in how …

2024年6月11日 · What Is An Axial Flux Motor? An axial flux motor (AFM) distinguishes itself from traditional radial flux motors by the arrangement of its stator and rotor. In an AFM, the stator’s magnetic poles are aligned along the motor’s axis, with the …

2021年5月19日 · In Issue 49, we reviewed some of the more promising advancements in materials and construction techniques for EV traction motors, one of which—the axial flux design—will be the focus of this article.

2024年9月9日 · In this video, we explore the origins of axial flux motors, their advantages for electric vehicles, the technical challenges they present, and their various applications in the (hybrid)...

2025年1月6日 · Axial Flux Motor. Next, imagine an ­electric motor with a flat disk of nonferrous material serving as the stator. Set around its perimeter are a dozen half-inch-high stubs wound with wire. As before, alternating current feeds the windings. Facing the stator (like stacked pancakes) is another 6-inch disk—the rotor—with its permanent magnets ...

In this video, Paul explains what an axial flux motor is and compares it to a radial flux motor.Munro Live is a YouTube channel that features Sandy Munro and...
