Modular Axial-Flux Drive Platform for Circular Industrial Electrification

MODYFLEX introduces a stackable axial-flux architecture that scales from low-power duty to demanding industrial and marine use with one platform logic, reducing oversizing, inventory complexity, and replacement waste.

36 Months Project duration

5 Partners Cross-border consortium

TRL 5 to 7 Project progression

<10 SKUs Target portfolio replacement

Exploded modular drive architecture with gearbox, stackable motors, and controller

Why This Matters for Europe

Current Challenge

Industrial motors consume a major share of electricity demand and related CO2 emissions.
Fixed-power catalogues drive oversizing in over 30% of installations.
Application-specific SKUs lock users into replacement instead of upgrade pathways.

MODYFLEX Response

One shared platform scales physically by stacking 1 to 5 motor modules.
Motor, ESC, and reducer families align to a common mechanical envelope.
Upgrade-by-adding modules supports circularity and life-extension by design.
