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 ...

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 ...

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 machines offer significant benefits, They maintain high efficiency even at low rotational speeds and their ...

There seems to be some confusion within the industry about the terms “permanent magnet synchronous motors” (PMSMs) and “brushless DC (BLDC) motors”. I’ve talked with several different application ...

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 ...

Disc motors are permanent-magnet stepping motors that exhibit performance comparable to that of hybrid motors. Rotors in disc motors are thin (typically less than 1-mm) discs, unlike the cylindrical ...

The MET Hybrid Turbocharger from Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Marine Machinery & Engine Co. Ltd. (MHI-MME) uses a motor generator system and power electronics developed by Calnetix Technologies. The ...
