Abstract
The disclosure relates to a polyphase transverse flux machine including a stator and a rotor configured to rotate relative to the stator about an axis in a circumferential direction. The transverse flux machine includes an electrical line running along a plurality of yokes in the circumferential direction, and a pair of permanent magnet arrays running in parallel in the circumferential direction. A plurality of return path bodies is provided in the stator, wherein each yoke has an associated return path body at a distance from the associated yoke in the radial direction. The magnetization direction of the permanent magnets in the permanent magnet arrays changes in such a way that a closed magnetic flux repeatedly occurs at each yoke during rotation of the rotor. The closed magnetic flux runs from one permanent magnet array across a respective yoke to the other permanent magnet array, and from there, across the associated return path body, back to the first-mentioned permanent magnet array.
