The ThinGap Embedded Motor is comparatively small for how much power it provides. This gives us the lead in high-powered, small motor design. Our line of customizable motors offer very high power to weight ratios for several key reasons:
No Magnetic Saturation
- The basic technology used by ThinGap means that increases in current cause increases in torque, all the way to the thermal limit. Push the thermal limit back, and the available torque increases.
- Since both the inner and outer irons of the Rotor turn together, there are no eddy currents or hysteresis.
Physical Design Means Excellent Cooling
- The thin coil allows heat to reach the surface quickly.
- The coil is not backed by iron, allowing air flow over both sides of the coil.
- Airflow over the coil is excellent due to the rotation of both the outer and inner irons of the Rotor and magnets.
- The open-frame design allows easy entry and exit of fresh air.
Very High Power/Weight Ratios
- The ThinGap Embedded Motor Stator is very light in weight, since the copper is optimally placed.
- Superior air circulation (increasing with rpm) due to the open frame and rotating inner and outer irons allows higher current and torque - even over-driving.
- Torque increases with RPM up to high RPM, with continuous operating speeds of over 16,000 RPM
