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 ...

Linear motors are becoming increasingly practical for general motion. Many are used for long strokes of a few feet or more. One new design, however, where the magnets move relative to a stationary ...

Bengaluru's Vimag Labs proposes "virtual" magnets for EVs, challenging the need for rare-earth magnets in electric motors.

Rare earth magnets are a crucial component of electric motors in an electric vehicle (EV). According to IDTechEx, rare earth permanent magnet motors have retained a greater than 75% market share since ...

Electric motors are everywhere—from the cars we drive to the appliances in our homes—but most rely on rare earth magnets that come with high costs and environmental challenges. A new wave of ...

In 2020, as the first wave of COVID-19 brought the global economy to its knees, Manish Seth, the CEO and co-founder of Vimag Labs, found himself face to face with a professional predicament. A ...

Toachieve systems design goals, where motors are involved, of increasedefficiency and improved power density, along with lower noise and variablespeed operating capability, technologies beyond ...

Several companies around the globe have been hard at work innovating and refining magnet-free electric motors to make them a more viable option for the fast-growing EV industry. ZF Friedrichshafen has ...

It took 100 years to come to fruition, but this recently created fluid enables non-magnetic electrostatic-based motors. Say the word “motor” to most engineers and they almost always associate it with ...
