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 ...

Automakers and aerospace firms are accelerating rare-earth-free motor designs as dependence on neodymium becomes a liability.

MUNICH, Germany—ZF unveiled an electric motor that does not require magnets or rare earth materials, reducing reliance on mining in countries such as China and cutting manufacturing's carbon footprint ...

China controls about 90% of the entire global supply of rare earth magnets, including their mining and refining. That means that most of the neodymium, dysprosium, and terbium that end up in EV motors ...

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 ...

Boston-based ECM’s proprietary motor design and optimization software, PCB PrintStator, enables engineers to design, model and prototype printed circuit board stator motors. Unlike traditional radial ...

Boston-based ECM PCB Stator Tech is demonstrating the company’s PrintStator Motor CAD design-to-manufacture tool at CES 2024 (taking place Jan. 9-12, 2024 in Las Vegas). The event will mark the ...

Early incarnations of the electric motor first appeared in the 1740s through the work of Scottish Benedictine monk and scientist, Andrew Gordon. Other scientists such as Michael Faraday and Joseph ...

What if a single innovation could redefine how we think about electric motors, making them not just marginally better but insanely efficient? Imagine an electric vehicle (EV) that accelerates with ...
