For over four decades, the Transverse Flux Motor (TFM) has been a focus of research for its potential to deliver exceptional performance in low-speed, high-torque applications. Its unique design, which allows for a high pole count and inherently low coil resistance, is the key to achieving the superior torque density and low-speed efficiency required for direct drive systems.

This presentation will showcase how TFMs have moved beyond the theoretical and into successful commercial deployment. We will demonstrate how this technology simplifies electric drivetrains by eliminating bulky and inefficient mechanical transmissions. This leads to significant savings in space, weight, and system cost, while simultaneously improving overall efficiency. We will detail the specific design and manufacturing challenges of this technology and provide real-world case studies from a broad range of successfully commercialized applications, including pumps, fans, and actuators. This talk is highly relevant for system engineers and business leaders seeking to advance their electric drive architecture.
