TFM 8 -3d printed Transverse Flux Generator

myminifactory

Transverse flux machine (TFM) is an innovative technology for electric motors and generators that delivers impressive results, especially when it comes to low speeds and high torque. The transverse flux technology was first introduced by W. M. Morday in 1895, who successfully obtained a patent. In TFM generators, a single coil is situated within the iron yoke, making it possible to also create three-phase generators. As an electric motor, TFM can be utilized in various applications such as electric cars, e-bikes, scooters, and electro-skateboards. Additionally, TFM generators are suitable for use in wind and hydro generators due to their ability to operate efficiently at low RPM without the need for gearboxes. The key advantages of TFM technology include: -Low rotary speeds below 1000RPM -High continuous torque output -High copper wire usage efficiency -Low production costs -Compact design Printed parts come in three models, featuring two body caps and a rotor. Iron plates are cut from electrical steel that is 0.5mm thick. The shaft utilizes an 8mm bearing (model 608) that can be sourced from old spinners, while magnets measuring 10X5X5mm are used with axial magnetization as shown in the images.
