American Made Motors.
No Rare-Earth Crutches.
We're Making Rare-Earth History.
Modal Motors designs and manufactures non-rare-earth electric motors and generators using ferrite, 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.
High torque density using Modal's patent-pending Transverse Flux Motor (TFM) architecture — no rare-earth magnets. We cut the geopolitical risk and keep the power.

Engineered for weight-critical systems. This motor uses a two-coil architecture to minimize mass and deliver maximum power density.
Structural housing that uses magnetic gearing to merge ICE and electric inputs, eliminating friction losses and physical gear contact entirely.

FAQ
No. We achieve competitive torque density through geometry. We get the power without the heavy iron penalty.
They actually handle heat better than rare-earth magnets. You can push these motors harder without worrying about thermal demagnetization.
Yes. The modular design allows for component-level repair. You don't have to scrap the whole unit for one bad part.
No. It works with standard off-the-shelf motor controllers. We designed it to integrate with your existing architecture.
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.
The third phase is digital. You can tune the motor's performance profile via software without changing the hardware.
We offer sealed liquid-cooled configurations. These are perfect for underwater vehicles or harsh outdoor environments.
Yes. Standard mounting points make it compatible with most commercial props and hubs.
Standard motor failure modes apply. The modular design supports component-level repair.
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.
No. There are no touching parts in the gear system. No friction means no oil changes and no transmission fluid.
Yes. The structural housing allows you to stack units axially or vertically. You can build the powertrain to fit your specific space.
The drive has a dedicated input shaft for internal combustion engines. You bolt it up and the magnetic gearing handles the torque conversion.
It is silent. Since the "gears" are magnetic fields, there is no physical clatter or gear whine.
The magnetic gearing is passive. It continues to function as a variable transmission even without active electronic control.
