Magnetic couplings transmit high torque with no physical contact, and they disengage smoothly when load gets too high. Generally speaking, the couplings use magnetic power in three different ways; ...

Combining the advantages of permanent magnet and induction motors, new synchronous reluctance motors (SynRM) offer potentially breakthrough technology for variable speed drive (VSD) and motor packages ...

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 ...

Why EV manufacturers are working toward eliminating rare-earth materials from their motors. An introduction to the wound-rotor synchronous motor (WRSM) architecture, and some of its innovative ...

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 ...
