Abstract :
In this paper, a lightweight ironless axial flux permanent magnet drive concept is presented. The in-wheel hub motor has a high torque to weight ratio and achieves a high efficiency, which extends the operation range of battery powered vehicles. The steps from preliminary design to manufacturing of the components are described. The paper includes Finite Element Analyses in different physical domains.
