General information
- Short Summary
- A German SME has developed a groundbreaking patented technology that allows the production of a new type of axial flux motors, where permanent magnets are completely absent. The technology has diverse applications across industries, including the automotive sector for electric vehicles (EV), the aviation industry, renewable energy (wind-powered generation), and others. The SME is mainly looking for licence agreements or manufacturers capable of producing electric motors or components.
- Full Description
-
Axial motors are used in many different fields such as in automotive, aircraft, and high-power systems. They are increasingly relevant in electric vehicles and renewable energy applications. The problem of conventional axial motors, however, are the significant vector loads between the rotor and the stator. These loads are parallel to the axis of the motor and bend the rotor from the center to the edge, creating a conical gap. All this leads to significant problems such as increased stator mass, increased vibrations, and a significant reduction in power and efficiency of the electric motor. The new axial electric motor developed by the German SME overcomes all these problems and the patented architecture creates new opportunities for the development of axial electric motors with significant higher power and torque then conventional axial motors. Moreover, a uniqueness of the motor is, that it also functions without any permanent magnets which provides a significant advantage over competitors. The elimination of magnets also results in a reduction of the costs of mass production of axial motors.
The SME wants to establish a strong market presence by focusing on the widespread adoption of this technology. Therefore, they look for engineers, designers and constructors interested in collaborating on the development and manufacturing of new products using their technology e.g. for drones and UAVs that have already been ordered by their clients.
Moreover, they look for a company that will undertake the full cycle of development of a specific electric motor: design, prototyping, testing, certification, etc. as well as manufacturers capable of producing components specifically for their motors. For example, companies that produce magnets, rotors, stators, control units (from winding magnets to permanent magnets).
The SME is looking for manufacturing or licence agreements as well as for commercial agreements with technical assistance.
Partners could be:
- manufacturers/developers who are ready to produce according to their orders and under the brands of their customers.
- manufacturers/developers capable of producing complete products (motors) using their technology in the frame of a licence agreement. - Advantages and Innovations
-
- unique and patented technology
- reduction of mass production costs of axial motors, primarily due to the lower use of raw materials and the low cost of manufacturing components, especially for motors without permanent magnets
- reduction of heat losses by 50 – 70 % and conversion of thermal energy into mechanical work
- higher power and higher torque of axial motors by increasing the magnetic flux density, without increasing the product weight and temperature limit
- high efficiency, environment friendly and energy saving
- higher profitability of production
- compliance with the requirements and standards of the European Green Deal
- axial flux motors are a breakthrough technology that will change the electric motor market and secure patent superiority. - Stage of Development
- Lab tested
- Sustainable Development Goals
- Goal 9: Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure
- IPR status
- IPR granted
- IPR notes
- IPR granted for Ukraine
Partner Sought
- Expected Role of a Partner
-
The SME is looking for
1. Manufacturers/developers who are ready to produce according to the SME's orders and under the brand of their customers, but without transferring patent rights.
2. Licencee companies that are ready to buy a licence. At the moment this is a large list of industries (partners): companies from the automotive industry, aviation industry, including the production of drones and UAVs, manufacturers of electric bicycles and electric motorbikes, manufacturers of general industrial electric motors, including axial electric motors, manufacturers of medical instruments and equipment etc.
Later this list will be reduced depending on the results of the market launch of the technology. - Type and Size of Partner
