  • Axial flux motor
    Patent number: 11936246
    Abstract: Provided is an axial flux motor including a rotor having a wound ribbon core, the wound ribbon core including a metal amorphous nanocomposite material. The axial flux motor further includes a stator assembly spaced apart from the rotor along a rotation axis of the rotor. The stator assembly includes a body including a metal amorphous nanocomposite material and a plurality of permanent magnets substantially free of rare-earth materials. The plurality of permanent magnets is arranged on the body of the stator assembly.
