Two great minds in permanent-magnet-free motor design are fusing their know-how to create an even more capable inductive electric motor. Mahle and Valeo have teamed up to introduce what they call the ...

Linear motors are becoming increasingly practical for general motion. Many are used for long strokes of a few feet or more. One new design, however, where the magnets move relative to a stationary ...

The motor series delivers premium efficiency up to 98% with high power density for diverse applications including marine ...

Did you know GM invented the domestic, affordable permanent magnet? Before this neodymium-iron-boron magnet came along in 1984, electric motors, generators, audio speakers, hard-disk drives, and the ...

MUNICH, Germany—ZF unveiled an electric motor that does not require magnets or rare earth materials, reducing reliance on mining in countries such as China and cutting manufacturing's carbon footprint ...

Several companies around the globe have been hard at work innovating and refining magnet-free electric motors to make them a more viable option for the fast-growing EV industry. ZF Friedrichshafen has ...

Despite the battery electric vehicle (BEV) market growing at a slower rate than in previous years, BEV sales will continue to rise, driven by the availability of more models and regulatory pressure.

Researchers have developed an AI-powered model to understand the "maze-like" magnetic patterns that cause energy loss in electric motors ...

To visualize a radial flux motor, think of two iron cylinders. One is fitted with magnets set around its outside and an axle running through its center (the rotor). Surrounding this cylinder is a ...

We’ve long-admired internal combustion engines for their power density pursuits. Extremely high horsepower-to-liter ratios for naturally aspirated cars like the Honda S2000, Ferrari 458 Speciale, or, ...
