It's not surprising that the powertrains of electric cars differ quite a bit from traditional internal-combustion engines. Although they have fewer moving parts, the rare-earth magnets that help power ...

Never mind present-day’s bonny blather on the benefits of electric, hydrogen and biofuel power. How do you feel about magnets? Better make up your mind, stat; as of this morning, a company named ...

China controls about 90% of the entire global supply of rare earth magnets, including their mining and refining. That means that most of the neodymium, dysprosium, and terbium that end up in EV motors ...

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 ...

Permanent Magnet AC motors hold the largest market share because they are more efficient, have a higher torque-to-weight ratio, and perform better in variable speed applications than other motors.

The automaker is teaming up with a small Minnesota-based startup to develop iron nitride-based magnets in the hopes of localizing a key aspect of its EV motor production. The automaker is teaming up ...

Tesla made a significant change to its electric motor strategy with the introduction of the Model 3, switching from an AC induction motor to a permanent magnet motor. Now, Tesla’s principal motor ...

A number of readers questioned the veracity of the technology presented in this article. To address their concerns, we did a follow-up, which can be found here. Permanent magnets are an integral part ...

The IronHorse permanent-magnet dc 56C-frame motors feature totally enclosed nonvented (TENV) and totally enclosed fan-cooled (TEFC) models. Constructed of a rolled-steel frame with cast-aluminum end ...
