Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (pmsm)
A direct drive torque motor is a permanent-magnet synchronous motor (PMSM). Hence, the load is directly driven without the use of a gearbox or transmission. This reduces the number of moving parts, and thereby increases the operational…
High torque EC Fan Motor
Fans are very important for industries where reliability in heating or cooling control matters. Multiple industries depend on standard asynchronous (ac) motors for their fans, but the landscape is changing. Companies within the industry are asking for something new, something smaller, with higher efficiency and a…
Voice Coil Actuators vs Moving Magnet Actuators
Voice coil actuators have been around for many years, it is a type of direct drive linear motor. It consists of a permanent magnetic field assembly (permanent magnets and ferrous steel) and a coil assembly. Actuators are used for…
EC Fan motors as an alternative to AC Fan motors
Fans are very important, multiple industries rely on them. Most fans still depend on standard asynchronous (ac) motors, but the landscape is changing. Sustainability and the reduction of energy consumption are becoming more important. To meet these demands and to guarantee the most suitable solution…

Unboxing in-wheel hub motor for hydrogen car
Magnetic Innovations and Green Team Twente designed a highly efficient in-wheel direct drive hub motor. They adapted it to the teams requirements and made it light weight. In this video, you can watch Green Team Twente unbox their hub motors. Take a look at the compact and…
Voice Coil Actuator replacing pneumatic cylinders
System efficiency, size and operator comfort are becoming more important every day. Equipment which has traditionally been fitted with a pneumatic system (compressor, valves and bulky fittings) are now being re-evaluated and re-designed. Therefore, Magnetic Innovations has developed a…
University of Twente builds the most efficient hydrogen car with hub motor
The biggest change on the inside lies with the drive train, Magnetic Innovations and Green Team Twente decided to join forces and develop an in-wheel hub motor. The previous car had four electric motors with a gearbox. This will be replaced by the direct drive hub motor that is placed in the wheel of the car. This system…
