Engineering Overview: Axial Flux Stator Cores for In-Wheel Hub Motors & Electric Two-Wheelers
Shunge Steel manufactures custom wound axial flux stator cores specially designed for in-wheel hub motors, direct-drive electric motorcycle powertrains, high-performance e-bikes, and light electric vehicles (LEVs). In hub motor applications, eliminating transmission gears and packaging the motor directly inside the wheel rim demands maximum torque density, compact axial depth, and minimal unsprung weight.
By winding continuous high-grade non-oriented silicon steel into an optimized disc ring and forming deep radial slots via high-precision CNC laser cutting, we deliver stator cores that provide intense magnetic flux utilization, exceptional starting torque, and superior cooling characteristics without costly stamping dies.

Key Technical Advantages for In-Wheel Hub Drives
- Massive Starting & Climbing Torque Density: The disc-shaped axial flux design maximizes the active magnetic surface area at a larger effective air-gap radius, generating substantially higher continuous and peak torque for steep hill climbing and heavy load acceleration.
- Minimized Unsprung Mass & Wheel Weight: Eliminating bulky radial back-iron significantly reduces total wheel hub weight, dramatically improving electric motorcycle handling dynamics, suspension responsiveness, and vehicle range.
- Superior Thermal Dissipation in Sealed Hubs: Direct axial thermal conduction and exposed planar surface area facilitate rapid heat transfer from copper windings to the outer wheel casing, preventing overheating during prolonged high-load cruising.
- Zero Tooling Investment for Varied Rim Sizes: Whether designing for 10-inch scooter rims, 14-inch moped wheels, or 17-inch motorcycle rims, outer diameter (OD), inner diameter (ID), and slot profiles are customized directly via CNC laser programs without expensive stamping mold lead times.

Electric Two-Wheeler & Light EV Applications
Our custom wound hub motor cores are built to withstand rigorous road shock, heavy vibration, and demanding duty cycles across diverse light electric mobility sectors:
- High-Performance Electric Motorcycles: Delivers high peak torque for rapid acceleration and sustained highway speeds without multi-speed transmissions.
- Urban E-Bikes & Electric Mopeds: Compact axial width fits within standard bicycle dropout widths (135mm / 150mm) and scooter rear swingarms.
- Electric Cargo Trikes & Delivery Scooters: High continuous torque capacity supports heavy payload delivery and frequent stop-and-go hill starts.
- Electric Golf Carts & Industrial AGV Wheels: In-wheel direct drive eliminates differentials, saving chassis space and increasing payload efficiency.

Customization & OEM/ODM Engineering Workflow
We collaborate closely with electric vehicle motor designers to deliver tailored stator core solutions:
- Application & Drawing Review: Provide your target wheel rim size, power/torque requirements, and 2D/3D CAD drawings (STEP, DWG, DXF).
- Electromagnetic & DFM Evaluation: Our technical team optimizes core strip winding tension, slot geometry, and cooling pathways.
- Rapid Prototyping: Complete prototype cores manufactured and shipped within 7–12 working days without stamping tooling delays.
- Validation & Testing: Full CMM dimensional checks, slot alignment inspection, and core loss verification prior to volume production.

Precision Manufacturing & Quality Control
Shunge Steel maintains rigorous quality control across every manufacturing stage to guarantee road-grade reliability:
- Tension-Monitored Disc Winding: High-precision winding ensures consistent stacking density and eliminates radial delamination under heavy torque.
- High-Speed Clean Laser Slotting: Inert gas-assisted laser cutting creates burr-free slot edges, preserving inter-laminar insulation resistance.
- Thermal Stress-Relief Annealing: Vacuum protective atmosphere annealing restores virgin magnetic permeability and eliminates mechanical cutting stress.
- Dynamic Geometry Inspection: Comprehensive CMM verification for outer diameter roundness, inner bore concentricity, and axial flatness.
