# Electric motor with axial and radial permanent magnets

## Abstract

There is disclosed a motor ( 100 ) comprising: a stator ( 120 ), comprising a core ( 122 ) and a plurality of windings ( 124 ); and a rotor ( 140 ), comprising a plurality of permanent magnets ( 150, 152, 154 ), wherein a first portion of the magnets ( 150, 152 ) is disposed on two axial rotor portions ( 142, 144 ) in close proximity to two respective axial sides of the windings ( 124 ), and a second portion of the magnets ( 154 ) is disposed on a radial rotor portion ( 146 ) in close proximity to a radial side of the windings ( 124 ), and wherein energising the windings ( 124 ) causes a torque to be applied to the rotor ( 140 ) via said two axial rotor portions ( 144, 144 ) and said radial rotor portion ( 146 ).
