"Light weight is a key attribute of the YASA axial flux electric motor. But in marine applications, the critical attributes are more often the optimally short axial length, high torque at low speeds and very efficient direct cooling.
The optimally short axial length helps deliver a very compact hybrid powertrain, maximizing aft cabin space in a motor cruiser for example.
The high torque at low speeds directly enables drive solutions without the need for a gearbox, thereby delivering a lower cost and highly compact solution with greatly reduced noise and vibration levels.
Finally, the efficient direct cooling arrangement enables high continuous power usage, a key factor needed across many marine propulsion applications."
