The lack of a yoke and locating the magnets away from the central axis result in higher power-to-weight ratios than equivalent radial flux motors. The EVOA E1 and Acel outboards use axial flux motors.

YASA Radial flux machines are hard to beat, though. There were many technical challenges to overcome in making axial flux motors manufacturable and efficient at a large scale.

The pros and cons of axial flux and radial flux in serving the surging global electric-motor market demand. As the world rapidly electrifies, demand for specialized motors is exponentially ramping up.

Empire Magnetics 30-in. diameter, axial flux, brushless DC motor/alternator to be installed in a windmill hub. As an alternator this unit produces three-phase 220 VAC, 3300 watts, at 180 RPM.

In the Gemera, the Quark delivers a peak torque of 600 Nm (442.5 pound-feet) and 250 kW (335 hp) of peak power. You may brag that you have already seen stronger electric motors, but we dare you to ...
