Radial flux motors power most electric machines. However, axial flux motors are critical innovations that provide higher performance in applications like passenger cars, heavy-duty equipment, factory automation and collaborative robotics. READ MORE: The Back-and-Forth on Linear MotorsAxial flux motors deliver the same or higher power and performance as radial flux designs while occupying less space. Their larger diameter and efficient magnetic flux path provide higher torque density than radial flux motors. Providing more torque per kilogram, axial flux motors reduce system weight and free up space for batteries, sensors, or additional payload.
