Electric motor maker Linear Labs plans to start mass-producing its new high-torque M200 e-mobility motor for off-the-shelf use in September 2020, targeting a goal of delivering at least 100,000 M200 motors by the end of 2021.
The motors use a magnetic tunnel to surround the stator, resulting in twice the torque of competitor motors. Source: Linear LabsThe M200 motor and controller are based on the Hunstable Electric Turbine, an exterior permanent magnet circumferential flux four-rotor machine. These motors use a magnetic tunnel to surround the stator, resulting in twice the torque of competitor motors, or the same torque in half the size. The units can be manufactured with rare-earth or ferrite magnets and offer extended battery life and the performance needed to propel e-bikes and e-scooters up steeper inclines for longer periods of time.
