    How AML Is Reinventing Permanent Magnet Motors

    In this episode, we explore how advanced magnet manufacturing is transforming electric motor design. With the ability to produce magnets in custom shapes and precisely controlled magnetization patterns, designers can unlock entirely new performance possibilities. The podcast highlights AML’s innovative process, which enables magnets with a rotating magnetization vector. This breakthrough creates a smooth, sinusoidal magnetic field—delivering motors that run quieter, more efficiently, and with improved overall performance compared to traditional block-magnet designs. https://mitusmagnets.com/ Munro Live is the media division of Munro & Associates, an engineering consulting firm with a design-first approach.
