NovaTorque's Motor Technology

The unique NovaTorque motor structure is an astoundingly simple and elegant design solution to the problem of how to build a motor with better performance and higher efficiency than conventional motors.

The vast majority of electric motors utilize a radial design.  NovaTorque motors have an axial design, in which the field poles and copper windings are parallel to the motor’s axis of rotation.  The key innovation of NovaTorque’s axial motor is the use of two cone-shaped hubs (rotors) onto which the permanent magnets are mounted.  Relatively straight field poles form the flux path between the magnets on each of the rotor assemblies. 

Even though NovaTorque motors are very different from conventional motors on the inside, they look the same on the outside.  They have approximately the same form factor (aspect ratio) as most conventional induction and PM motors, so they can easily replace conventional motors in many applications.

A few of the many advantages of the NovaTorque design include:
