Abstract: An axial flux motor with a modular design that can help to simplify manufacturing processes, The design also permits the use of various material types, such as mixed materials, rare earth containing, and rare earth free designs with high power density. The motor may include a rotor arranged in one or more rings and a stator arranged in one or more rings. The stator is positioned proximate to the rotor. The rotor, the stator, or both are formed of individual wedge segments to provide a modular design. The rotor and/or stator assemblies may include a structural bearing material mixed with magnetic materials.
