Motors & Generators
Applied Electromagnetic Engineering for Specialised Motion and Power Systems
At Magnet Methods, we specialise in the development of bespoke electromagnetic machines – motors and generators – engineered to meet the nuanced demands of high-performance, application-specific environments. Our approach is grounded in a deep understanding of magnetic circuit design, materials science and system-level integration, enabling us to deliver solutions where conventional off-the-shelf components are inadequate.
Our engineering practice is defined by precision, adaptability and a commitment to performance optimisation. Whether the objective is ultra-smooth torque delivery, high-speed operation or energy recovery in constrained environments, we apply rigorous simulation, prototyping, and validation methodologies to ensure each system meets its operational and environmental constraints.

If your application demands a tailored electromechanical solution – whether for motion control, energy harvesting or system efficiency enhancement – Magnet Methods offers the technical depth and engineering precision to deliver.
Our capabilities
Technical Domains of Expertise
Each machine can be developed with application-specific winding schemes, magnet geometries and mechanical interfaces, ensuring seamless integration into broader electromechanical systems.
- Cogging Minimisation and Torque Ripple Suppression: Development of low- and zero-cogging topologies for applications requiring continuous, vibration-free motion – such as optical tracking systems and precision mechatronics.
- High-Speed Electromechanical Systems: Design of rotor-stator assemblies capable of sustained operation at elevated rotational speeds, with emphasis on thermal management, rotor containment and isolation, including applications for aerospace and industrial automation.
- Low-Inertia, Low Mass Designs: Engineering of compact, fast response motors for mass-sensitive platforms including UAVs, handheld instrumentation and robotic end-effectors.
Our generator solutions are characterised by high conversion efficiency, mechanical robustness and adaptability to non-standard operating environments.
- Fluid-Driven Electromechanical Conversion: Design of magnetically coupled generator systems for energy harvesting from low energy fluid flows in oil & gas, water infrastructure and remote sensing applications.
- High-Speed Energy Recovery Units: Engineering of compact, high-RPM generators for waste energy capture in thermomechanical systems – such as turbo-compounding in internal combustion engines or exhaust energy recovery in heavy-duty transport.
