Since then a british company yasa has begun production of axial flux motors aimed at the ev market.
Axial flux traction after electric motor.
Emrax electric motors generators.
The axial flux traction aft electric motor or pancake motor as it s sometimes called is a novel alternative to more common radial flux types as used by zero and harley davidson s.
Aft technology can be used in all mobility solutions from scooters to buses.
Continuing the roll out of its radical axial flux traction aft motors to the mass ev market the uk company plans to sell its technology under license in asia and the rest of the world.
In this paper we present a systemic control methodology of a synchronous motor with axial flux dedicated to electric traction taking into account several constraints such as speed limit the.
As opposed to the motors of other electric motorcycles in the market which use radial flux.
At the right the concentrated windings of the magnax axial flux motor.
An axial flux motor also known as an axial gap motor or pancake motor is a geometry of 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 gap motor.
Besides motors can be used for marine airplane and vtol applications.
Emrax electric motors generators represent a line of lightweight compact powerful lower speed axial flux electric motors generators.
Compared to conventional motors of electric motorcycles which use radial flux motors the aft motor provides a more compact design offering lower overall weight.
The axial flux motor from his tests later went into production in the emrax motor line with four different size motors available.
Because of this they are suitable for a range of high performance drivetrain applications.
With the company s axial flux traction aft electric motor the company intends to revolutionise the electric motorcycle landscape.
Cooling in case of radial flux machines the heat has to be transported through the stator to the outside of the machine.
The coil overhang in a traditional radial flux motor is not beneficial for its functioning left.
They can be used for various applications from electric bikes to electric buses.
