Mitsui E&S and Taiyo Electric have developed an Overhang Permanent Magnet Shaft Generating System for large marine ...

Since the boom of the NdFeB magnets industry, the usage and potential applications for permanent magnet machines have grown exponentially to the detriment of traditional induction systems. In special ...

As COVID-19 is increasingly emphasizing the importance of contactless services more than ever, the smartization in the logistics industry is taking place as well. In the meantime, a research team in ...

Permanent Magnet AC motors hold the largest market share because they are more efficient, have a higher torque-to-weight ratio, and perform better in variable speed applications than other motors.

Tesla made a significant change to its electric motor strategy with the introduction of the Model 3, switching from an AC induction motor to a permanent magnet motor. Now, Tesla’s principal motor ...

A number of readers questioned the veracity of the technology presented in this article. To address their concerns, we did a follow-up, which can be found here. Permanent magnets are an integral part ...

Rare-earth magnets are essential for electric motors in vehicles, drones, and trains, forming the backbone of modern, ...

The high-energy-product neodymium rare-earth permanent magnet (RE-PM) was discovered in the early 1980s. Later, dysprosium doping emerged to provide reasonable RE-PM magnetization life by sacrificing ...

Opera software for motor and generator design lets users define complex behaviors such as friction, load, and speed-dependent torques. April 24, 2008 Multiphysics capabilities show the effects of ...

Today, most electric machines operate with radial flux (RF). Magnax offers a new concept, though—a machine that operates with axial flux (AF). Figure 1 provides a comparison of the RF and AF ...
