Problem
Many applications, such as robotics and drones, require electric motors with high power-to-weight ratios, but conventional electric motors often fall short in delivering optimal performance without adding excessive weight. This limitation can significantly impact the efficiency, flight time, and overall capabilities of these advanced systems.
Solution
Turncircles designs and manufactures custom electric motors and generators utilizing an axial flux design to achieve superior power-to-weight ratios. Their motors differentiate themselves by using alternative concepts for providing magnetic flux, avoiding standard windings and iron stators. The scalable and stackable motor design allows for rapid customization and easy assembly, enabling the creation of lighter and smaller motors tailored to specific application needs. This parametric motor model facilitates shorter development times and improved reliability compared to conventional electric motors, making it ideal for applications where weight and performance are critical.
Target Audience
The primary customers are companies in the aviation, space, robotics, e-bike, and power tool industries seeking high-performance, lightweight electric motors for their applications.
