Axial Electric Motor Design

In radial flux motors any copper not.

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. The technology is scalable from small motors i e electric vehicles to large generators i e wind turbine generators. The coil overhang in a traditional radial flux motor is not beneficial for its functioning left. The motors have zero overhang.

His brushed dc motor design held the magnets stationary with a spinning armature activated by sliding brushes as the rotor. Embedded magnets support high. Axial flux motors were studied by british inventor and ev enthusiast cedric lynch as early as 1979. In practice the center of the axial gap motor is typically hollow allowing for hollow shaft designs.

At the right the concentrated windings of the magnax axial flux motor. 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. 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. Furthermore thanks to the axial flux design very little copper is wasted on overhanging loops on the windings.

Axial flux motors were studied by british inventor and ev enthusiast cedric lynch as early as 1979. The rotor construction of a lynch motor a type of axial brushed dc motor. Axial motors are typically shorter and wider than an equivalent radial motor. That is 100 of the windings are active.

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. 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. His brushed dc motor design held the magnets stationary with a spinning armature activated by sliding brushes as the rotor.
