Are you wondering why winding methods are critical in axial flux motor design? As an experienced motor designer, I've spent years optimizing winding structures to improve performance, reduce loss, and simplify manufacturing. In this blog, I’ll guide you through the most common and advanced winding techniques used in axial flux motors.
Have you ever wondered what drives the heart of drones, robot vacuums, or electric vehicles? These high-tech machines all rely on BLDC motors, and inside these motors, there's a fascinating difference in stator winding methods—some follow the "concentrated" camp. In contrast, others belong to the "distributed" side. Don’t underestimate these winding styles—they affect everything from motor efficiency and noise to cost and performance. Behind them are countless engineers’ clever design decisions.
In recent years, many automakers have talked about applying axial flux motors in new energy vehicles. But due to manufacturing difficulties and high costs, most companies were still waiting and watching. However, at this year's Shanghai Auto Show, several companies showcased their axial motor products. Let’s take a look together. Personally, I see great potential for axial flux motors as range extenders.
Many luxury car brands see the axial flux motor as the best solution for electrification. But do you know which car models are already using it? The axial flux motor is known for its high power density, compact size, and fast response. Compared to traditional radial flux motors, it has shorter magnetic paths, higher torque output, and better cooling performance.
Is the drive motor underperforming because of heat? As the need for high power density and high reliability grows in new energy vehicles, motor cooling has become a major concern. You may ask: water cooling is already mature, so why are more manufacturers turning to oil cooling? What is the future of oil-cooled motors?
Have you ever wondered how the amorphous motor core process can revolutionize electric motor efficiency? Amorphous alloys have gained significant attention in the motor industry due to their exceptional low-loss properties. Compared to traditional silicon steel, amorphous materials are thinner, harder, and more brittle after annealing, making their processing far more complex.
Choosing the right amorphous alloys material manufacturer is key when looking for high-performance magnetic materials. Amorphous alloys, also called metallic glass, offer excellent magnetic, electrical, and mechanical properties. They are widely used in power electronics, EVs, aerospace, and other high-tech fields. So, who are the leading players in this space? Here’s a list of the top 10 amorphous alloys material manufacturers worldwide to help you better understand the industry.
Have you ever wondered how motor laminations are stamped with high precision and efficiency? As a motor lamination designer, I have spent years working with metal stamping processes that shape the performance of electric motors. In this article, I will guide you through the key techniques used in motor lamination metal stamping, explaining why the right stamping method is crucial for reducing energy loss and improving motor efficiency.
Do you remember the viral videos of Yushu Robots and Tesla's humanoid robot, Optimus? These robots, which seem to have come straight out of a sci-fi movie, are already making a big impact in the real world. what kinds of motors are used in humanoid robots? Why do different parts need different types of motors? In this article, we will explore the "power sources" behind humanoid robots—the various driving motors!
