Single-sided axial flux motor with additional passive stator

The present invention relates to a motor comprising: a first stator comprising a stator core and a plurality of windings; and a movable element movably mounted adjacent to the first stator to form a first air gap between the movable element and a winding of the first stator, in which the movable element is a slider or a rotor connected to the shaft, in which a second stator including a stator core is arranged opposite the first stator on the other side of the movable element, wherein the movable element is movably mounted adjacent to the second stator to form a second air gap between the movable element and the stator core of the second stator, and wherein the first stator, the second stator and the movable element are arranged such that during operation of the electric machine, magnetic flux passes from the first stator through the first air gap and passes from the second stator through the second air gap. And a second stator through the movable element and through the second air gap, where the second stator
