Recent patent disclosures indicate that BYD has strengthened its work on variable-flux permanent-magnet synchronous ...
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; ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
