This presentation explores how axial flux motors and power electronics are reshaping hydraulics in hybrid and fully electric equipment. It will outline the high torque density requirement of hydraulics and how axial flux technology delivers this in a compact package – enabling space savings, higher uptime and performance in extremes, sharing applications. It highlights low-voltage inverters that pair with smaller electric motors to drive auxiliary hydraulic pumps. Attendees will learn how integrated motor–inverter ecosystems support tighter calibration, efficiency, shared coolant loops, smoother hydraulic actuation with low cogging torque and controlled ramp rates, speed precision, cost efficiency and packaging flexibility.

• Why hydraulics want high torque density and why axial flux fits
• Where low-voltage inverters (≈100V and below) are already enabling electrified hydraulics
• How axial flux can scale from auxiliary hydraulics to heavy-duty cycles
• System-level integration benefits: ecosystem thinking, not just a motor swap
• Practical tradeoffs and how to manage them (what skeptics will ask)
