Electromagnetic torque capabilities of axial-flux and radial-flux permanent-magnet machines

This paper aims to evaluate capabilities of axial-flux and radial-flux permanent-magnet machines. The comparison is done exclusively from an electromagnetic point of view. The electromagnetic design comparison of conventional radial- flux and axial-flux topologies is carried out in view of traction drive applications.
