Why is Beyond Motors leading the axial flux motor race?
Discover how Beyond Motors is redefining electric propulsion with the AXM series. We explore the cooling breakthroughs and stackable designs that deliver unmatchable continuous power density.
The electric revolution is no longer about just "going electric." It is about efficiency, power density, and breaking the boundaries of what propulsion systems can do.
For decades, the radial flux motor has been the workhorse of the industry. But as we push into high-performance automotive, aerospace, and marine sectors, the radial design is hitting its physical limits. Enter the Axial Flux Motor—the "pancake" geometry that is rewriting the rulebook on torque and weight.
While the industry wakes up to the potential of axial flux technology, Beyond Motors has already moved past the experimental phase. We aren't just participating in the race; we are leading it. Here is why Beyond Motors is setting the standard for the next generation of electric propulsion.

Many manufacturers boast impressive "peak" power numbers that can only be sustained for a few seconds before the motor overheats. At Beyond Motors, we focus on what actually matters for high-performance applications: Continuous Power Density.
Our AXM Series offers the best continuous power-to-weight ratio on the market today.
We achieve this not by sacrificing durability, but by mastering thermal management.
The Achilles' heel of traditional axial flux motors has always been heat. The compact, disc-like shape makes them incredibly powerful, but traditionally difficult to cool.
Beyond Motors has solved this with our patent-pending water cooling system. Our design ensures high heat extraction directly from the active components. This allows our motors to run harder and longer without the thermal throttling that plagues competitor designs. Whether you are powering an eVTOL aircraft or a high-performance marine vessel, our cooling technology ensures that "peak performance" isn't just a momentary spike—it's a sustained reality.
Technical Note: Effective cooling allows the AXM series to maintain high torque even at lower RPMs, a critical requirement for heavy-lift drones and industrial machinery.
Flexibility is key in modern engineering. One of our most distinct innovations is the stackable design.
Need more power but constrained by diameter? You don't need a completely new motor architecture. Our design allows you to stack up to three full motors in series. This multiplies your torque and power output by 3x while maintaining the same compact diameter.
This plug-and-play scalability allows engineers to tailor the powertrain to the exact needs of the vehicle, from lightweight urban mobility to heavy-duty industrial machinery.
Early axial flux designs were often fragile, suitable for labs but not for the road or sky. Beyond Motors has engineered the AXM series to cope with high mechanical loads.
We use high-grade magnetic steel laminations and a robust structural design that eliminates the fragility often associated with "yokeless" or air-core designs. This makes our motors suitable for the most rugged environments, including:
The transition from radial to axial flux is inevitable for high-performance applications. With superior strength, unmatched cooling, and a modular ecosystem, Beyond Motors is not just waiting for the future; we are building it.
