Axial Flux Electric Motors are a type of electric motor that offer several advantages over traditional radial flux motors. These motors have a unique design where the magnetic field is oriented in the axial direction, rather than the radial direction. This design allows for a more compact and lightweight motor, making it ideal for applications where space is limited. Axial flux motors also have higher power density, improved efficiency, and better cooling capabilities. They are commonly used in electric vehicles, wind turbines, and other renewable energy systems.
Yokeless Axial Flux Electric Motors
Yokeless Axial Flux Electric Motors, as the name suggests, are axial flux motors that do not have a yoke. This design feature allows for a more efficient use of magnetic materials and reduces the motor’s weight and size. By eliminating the yoke, these motors can achieve higher power densities and improved overall performance.
One example of a yokeless axial flux electric motor is the Saietta Axial Flux Electric Motor.
Saietta Group plc (LON:SED) is a multi-national business which designs, engineers and manufactures complete Light Duty and Heavy Duty electric drive (eDrive) systems for electric vehicles on land from scooters to buses (vehicle categories L, M, N and T) as well as marine applications.
