If T is the developed torque, L is the length of the electric machine, D is the diameter of the machine, B is the magnetic induction at the air gap, i dl is the current circulating in the windings and F is the developed force, we notice that, in the axial flux machine, the Torque-Diameter relationship goes with the third power, while on the radial flow machine the torque goes with the second power and linearly with the length. This leads to a reduction of overall dimensions on the axial flux machine with the same torque developed.

The experience gained by Lucchi R. E-Motor Solutions in the production of axial flux motors and generators has highlighted several advantages for this type of electric machine: Due to these advantages and the unconventional form factor, Lucchi R. E-Motor Solutions decided to invest in the development of axial flux electrical machines with permanent magnets:
