Donut Lab, which unveiled a family of in-wheel electric motors at CES 2025, has spent almost a decade searching for one of the holy grails of the EV industry: in-wheel motors that actually work. These ...

By removing rare earths from the equation, these designs promise cleaner supply chains and more sustainable production.

MINNEAPOLIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Niron Magnetics today announced it has licensed a comprehensive portfolio of foundational Variable Flux Motor (VFM) patents. This strategic licensing agreement unlocks ...

Two great minds in permanent-magnet-free motor design are fusing their know-how to create an even more capable inductive electric motor. Mahle and Valeo have teamed up to introduce what they call the ...

Electric motors usually comprise a stator and a rotor, with the latter rotating inside the former. Donut Lab thinks this design is outdated, and a hollowed-out rotor can offer important advantages.

NEEDHAM, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--US Electric motor design and software company ECM PCB Stator Tech was announced a winner in the Leadership In Engineering Achievement Program Awards (LEAP). ECM won ...

The wheel is getting a redesign. Electric powertrain and motor startup Conifer is developing small electric motors that don’t require the rare-earth elements such as neodymium that are critical to ...

Proper evaluation of torque margins across the full motion profile prevents stalling and ensures consistent performance under varying load and speed conditions. Mechanical resonance can cause ...

Selecting a motor for a specific application can be a challenging task. Many factors must be considered, including the application’s required voltage, maximum current and diameter, speed, efficiency, ...

Often, an HVAC system is designed by the selection of individual components and not by a whole-system approach. This has become common practice for mechanical engineers, usually resulting in poor ...
