We're Making Rare-Earth Optional.

Modal Motors designs and manufactures non-rare-earth and U.S. sourced rare-earth electric motors and generators using FeN (from Niron Magnetics), and SmFeN (from USA-and-allied partners).

Our patent-pending Transverse Flux Motor (TFM) architecture is third-party validated to outperform Chinese rare-earth incumbents on torque density, efficiency, and mass.

Strip the fat. Keep the muscle.

Engineered for weight-critical systems. This motor uses our unique architecture to minimize mass while delivering maximum torque density and efficiency.

Architecture
Built on Modal's Transverse Flux Motor (TFM) architecture, with an optional software-enabled third phase. Minimum mass, maximum torque density and efficiency.
Application
Universal Aero/Hydro. Optimized for UAVs, pumps, fans, and blowers.
Advantage
Smart Control. Optional software-enabled third phase for precise management.
Configurations
Available in BLUELINE (Non-Rare-Earth) or REDLINE (U.S. Sourced Rare-Earth) configurations.

A transmission worth the wait.

Structural housing that uses magnetic gearing to merge ICE and electric inputs, eliminating friction losses and physical gear contact entirely.

Architecture
Magnetic Gearing. Built on Modal's Transverse Flux Motor (TFM) architecture.
Application
Hybrid Inputs. Accepts direct torque from ICE, wind, or water.
Advantage
Zero Friction. No mechanical wear and a fully integrated differential.

Drop-in integration.

FAQ

Is this only for drones?

No. While we stripped the weight for flight, it works perfectly for pumps, fans, and blowers. Any application that hates dead weight is a good fit.

How does the software control work?

The third phase is digital. You can tune the motor's performance profile via software without changing the hardware.

Is it waterproof?

We offer sealed liquid-cooled configurations. These are perfect for underwater vehicles or harsh outdoor environments.

Can I use my own propellers?

Yes. Standard mounting points make it compatible with most commercial props and hubs.

What happens if the electronics fail?

Standard motor failure modes apply. The modular design supports component-level repair.

Does the magnetic gearing slip?

Only if you force it to. It acts as a built-in torque fuse. If you overload the system, the magnets slip harmlessly instead of snapping a gear tooth. It resets instantly.

Does it require lubrication?

No. There are no touching parts in the gear system. No friction means no oil changes and no transmission fluid.

Can I stack them for more power?

Yes. The structural housing allows you to stack units axially or vertically. You can build the powertrain to fit your specific space.

How do I connect a gas engine?

The drive has a dedicated input shaft for internal combustion engines. You bolt it up and the magnetic gearing handles the torque conversion.

Is it louder than a standard gearbox?

It is silent. Since the "gears" are magnetic fields, there is no physical clatter or gear whine.

What happens if the electronics fail?

The magnetic gearing is passive. It continues to function as a variable transmission even without active electronic control.
