Axial Flux Motor
An axial flux motor is a compact, disc-shaped electric motor in which magnetic flux runs along the shaft, giving high power in a small space.
What is Axial Flux Motor?
It is flatter than a conventional radial flux motor. It offers high torque density. It is used mainly in high-performance cars. Their compact shape makes them suitable for in-wheel or hybrid drive units.
How it works
Rotor and stator discs face each other, so the magnetic field acts parallel to the axis of rotation.
Why it matters for your car
Production is more complex. Few mainstream cars use it yet.
