Yasa’s record-breaking, insanely powerful axial flux motor made is now being tested for in-wheel powertrains.

The race to build lighter, more powerful electric motors has just produced a startling new benchmark: an in-wheel drive unit ...

YASA is testing in-wheel axial flux motors that make big power, reduce overall weight, and eliminate the need for big rear brakes.

BMW has a novel way to hold the magnets in place in an axial flux motor, with an eye toward efficiency and long-term durability. Being a central part of the motor core, rotor design is critical to ...

Compromise is key to keeping a team humming along. Say one person wants an inrunner electric motor, and the other prefers outrunner. What to do? Well, if you work at [Deep Drive], the compromise ...

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 ...

Compact axial-flux electric motors are poised to be the next big thing in EV propulsion. These devices are commonly called "pancake" motors because they are flat, thin, and circular, like a pancake or ...

The rise of axial-flux motors. Motor theory versus practice. Scalability of axial- and radial-flux motors. The future motor split. Many technologies have played a role in the electric-vehicle (EV) ...
