Electric motors are increasingly being paired with hydraulic and pneumatic systems to drive pumps and other components, and are of course a common component within electric motion control systems.

Our top story in today’s newsletter offers a look at an electric motor technology that is starting to be used in more applications, transverse flux motors. These motors are known for their ability to provide constant torque over wide operating ranges, including low speeds, in a compact and efficient package.

Advancements in their design and manufacturability in recent years are helping make them a more widely available option to drive fans, pumps and more.

Once you’ve had a chance to read our article and learn more about transverse flux motors, I’d love to hear your thoughts on this technology and whether you think it has potential in your own system designs. Feel free to email me at [email protected] to offer your thoughts on this or any other topics of interest.
