Axial-flux electric machine

An axial-flux electric machine includes a stator and a rotor. The rotor may be rotatable about a rotor rotation axis, and at least a portion of the stator may face at least a portion of the rotor at an axial interface between the stator and the rotor. The rotor may include a rotor body and a permane...

Zusammenfassung:An axial-flux electric machine includes a stator and a rotor. The rotor may be rotatable about a rotor rotation axis, and at least a portion of the stator may face at least a portion of the rotor at an axial interface between the stator and the rotor. The rotor may include a rotor body and a permanent-magnet cluster that includes a plurality of permanent magnets mounted to the rotor body. The permanent-magnet cluster may cause magnetic flux to flow across the axial interface between the permanent-magnet cluster and the stator. The plurality of permanent magnets of the permanent-magnet cluster may include one or more permanent magnets forming a first axial permanent-magnet layer and one or more permanent magnets forming a second axial permanent-magnet layer disposed between the first axial permanent-magnet layer and the axial interface.
