Hellcat power in a motor you can pick up and throw makes YASA's newest project a record holder and a game-changer.

Last week, YASA’s axial motor prototype completed real-world test trials, delivering a whopping 550 kW of power from a package weighing a mere 13.1 kg (28.9 lbs.).

Magnetic force—or flux —in axial motors travels parallel to the axis of the motor rotation instead of perpendicular, or radially. This means they can take a different form. YASA ...

BMW’s latest axial flux motor patent locks in magnets with a unique metal package and axial stop, aiming for better performance, safety, and long-term durability.

Last year YASA, a British electric motor startup with a revolutionary “axial-flux” motor, was acquired by Mercedes-Benz to develop ultra-high-performance electric motors for Mercedes’s AMG ...

Mercedes-Benz’s new Vision AMG all-electric coupe show car features an axial-flux EV motor. Targeting a 2025 market entry, the motor is expected to increase power density by 30% and range by 5% ...

That's more than any motor we've covered, including the recently announced 15.8-kW/kg Donut Lab hub motor and the 13.4-kW/kg H3X HPDM-250 e-aircraft motor.

In the everything old is new again folder, [Lesics] has a good overview of axial flux motors. These are promising for electric vehicles, especially aircraft, since the motors should have high torqu… ...
