Solution Overview

Problem

Existing axial motors face issues with heat dissipation and positioning of magnetic cores due to the use of pressure plates, which affect the magnetic core's positioning and heat dissipation effectiveness.

Innovation Solution

The axial motor stator is designed with a fastening plate that includes an accommodating groove and magnetic core holes, allowing for improved positioning and mounting of magnetic cores, enhanced heat dissipation, and reduced air gap distance, while using pole shoes to compensate for reduced magnetic conduction areas.
