Many configurations are possible depending on the design goals.
Axial electric motor design.
That is 100 of the windings are active.
Furthermore thanks to the axial flux design very little copper is wasted on overhanging loops on the windings.
The motors have zero overhang.
Axial flux motors were studied by british inventor and ev enthusiast cedric lynch as early as 1979.
His brushed dc motor design held the magnets stationary with a spinning armature activated by sliding brushes as the rotor.
Cooling in case of radial flux machines the heat has to be transported through the stator to the outside of the machine.
In practice the center of the axial gap motor is typically hollow allowing for hollow shaft designs.
Axial motors are typically shorter and wider than an equivalent radial motor.
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.
Axial flux motors were studied by british inventor and ev enthusiast cedric lynch as early as 1979.
Embedded magnets support high.
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.
Lightweight compact and relatively powerful the motor was ideal for electric motorcycles.
Lightweight compact and relatively powerful the motor was ideal for electric motorcycles.
The brushes and connections are seen in the centre the alternating permanent magnets not shown align with the segments of the rotor in which current is flowing.
His brushed dc motor design held the magnets stationary with a spinning armature activated by sliding brushes as the rotor.
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.
