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.

Our capabilities

Technical Domains of Expertise

Custom Motor Architectures

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.

GeneratorS for Non-Conventional Energy Capture

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.
