Permanent magnets are key components in various high-value-added products, including electric vehicle (EV) motors and robots. However, conventional permanent magnet manufacturing processes have ...

One of the most notable aspects of Mahle’s motor is its rare earth metal-free construction. Traditional electric motors often rely on permanent magnets made from rare earth elements, which are ...

The UCI first developed a specific test for concealed motors in early 2016: a magnetic scanner attached to an iPad. On its very first outing, it located the Vivax Assist motor hidden in Van den ...

Two great minds in permanent-magnet-free motor design are fusing their know-how to create an even more capable inductive electric motor. Mahle and Valeo have teamed up on what they call the Inner ...

At its start, Rivian used motors supplied by Bosch, and those motors combined to produce a mighty 835 hp and 908 lb-ft of torque. MotorTrend tested a quad-motor 2022 R1S on all-season tires ...

A U.K.-based company announced last week that they’d successfully developed, in just three months, a magnet that doesn’t use rare earth metals at all using AI—according to the company, that ...

Nearly 40 years ago, General Motors invented the rare-earth magnet and thus laid the foundation for modern electric motors. But now the automaker is moving on to a different technology.

EV motors are powered by permanent magnets, sometimes no larger than a pack of playing cards that are made of rare earth metals like terbium, dysprosium, praseodymium, and neodymium.
