By the end, many want to ask one question: does the axial-flux motor comprehensively beat the radial motor? The answer is no. Engineering has no universal architecture, only whether a scenario fits. The radial motor's position will not be easily shaken. In households' A-segment cars, ordinary fans and home appliances — fields insensitive to space but extremely cost-sensitive with huge output — the mature, cheap and easy-to-build radial motor remains the optimal solution. At volumes running into millions of units, whoever can get the cost lowest and the line most stable wins; no one switches routes for a pain point that does not exist. In other words, the radial motor wins by having already grown together with the industrial system — a depth of accumulation that cannot be overturned in a few years.
Motor Flux Path Comparison
The value of axial flux lies where "every gram counts". In low-altitude aircraft, robot joints, high-performance sports cars, hub drives and commercial-vehicle hybrid upgrades, saving a little weight means more range and saving a centimetre of space means more layout freedom; the gains from high torque density and compact packaging are enough to cover its manufacturing premium.
Multi-Scenario Applications of Axial-Flux Motors
So selection is not about choosing "who is more advanced" but "who is more suitable". Putting the right motor into the right scenario matters far more than chasing a "more advanced" label. True maturity in industry is knowing when to use something and when not to. Between a technology being hyped and being put to good use lies exactly this judgment. When dealing with customers, Jiuju most often says the same thing: first be clear about what the application needs, then discuss which motor automated assembly line to use. Technology has no high or low; only matching has value — that is the line most worth holding in selection.
The shipping area outside the workshop was a hive of activity. After multiple rounds of full-machine commissioning, simulated mass-production validation, and factory quality inspection, a Jiuju DC motor automatic assembly line completed all factory-out procedures, was loaded onto trucks on schedule, and is about to depart for the customer's production base, helping the customer's project advance production implementation on plan.
A multi-pole architecture brings a high-frequency fundamental; at 10,000 rpm the fundamental frequency can reach several kHz. Traditional IGBTs suffer soaring switching losses and severe heating — it is the MHz-class switching capability of SiC MOSFETs that truly matches high-frequency multi-pole axial flux motors.

Magnetic flux must pass axially through the disc-shaped stator; traditional lamination stacking fails, and grain-oriented silicon steel ring-milled with slots destroys grain orientation. The stator and windings become the hardest nut to crack in axial flux mass production.
