Axial Electric Motor Design

Cooling in case of radial flux machines the heat has to be transported through the stator to the outside of the machine.

Axial electric motor design.

The motors have zero overhang. While the vast majority of electric motors currently in circulation are radial flux designs magnax claims the key to the high power density it s achieving is the direct drive axial flux design. Embedded magnets support high. The technology is scalable from small motors i e electric vehicles to large generators i e wind turbine generators.

Description avid s evo axial flux electric motor is ideal for electric vehicle propulsion and other high performance drive and actuation applications such as robotics actuators and propulsion systems for electrified aircraft. His brushed dc motor design held the magnets stationary with a spinning armature activated by sliding brushes as the rotor. Many configurations are possible depending on the design goals. The rotor construction of a lynch motor a type of axial brushed dc motor.

Axial flux motors are a major improvement over standard radial flux motors which leave a significant amount of copper overhanging on the ends of the coils. The coil overhang in a traditional radial flux motor is not beneficial for its functioning left. In radial flux motors any copper not. At the right the concentrated windings of the magnax axial flux motor.

Axial motors are typically shorter and wider than an equivalent radial motor. Lightweight compact and relatively powerful the motor was ideal for electric motorcycles. Avid technology has prepared this in depth look at electric motor technology used in applications from electric vehicles to robotics and aerospace. In practice the center of the axial gap motor is typically hollow allowing for hollow shaft designs.

That is 100 of the windings are active. Axial flux motors were studied by british inventor and ev enthusiast cedric lynch as early as 1979. Axial flux motors were studied by british inventor and ev enthusiast cedric lynch as early as 1979. Furthermore thanks to the axial flux design very little copper is wasted on overhanging loops on the windings.
