Patent ID: 10951098

Abstract:
A method of manufacturing an axial flux motor includes providing a stator; providing a rotor having a first external face and a second external face opposed and parallel the first external face; rotatably securing the rotor to the stator about a rotor center of rotation; providing a permanent magnet having a longitudinal axis thereof; fixedly securing the magnet to the rotor with the longitudinal axis positioned in a radial direction relative to the rotor center of rotation and so defining radially inward surface and an opposed radially outward surface, the magnet having a first face adjacent the first external face of the rotor and having a second face adjacent the second external face of the rotor; partially magnetizing the magnet by positioning a first magnetizing device adjacent the first face of the magnet; and magnetizing the magnet by positioning a second magnetizing device adjacent the second face of the magnet.
