Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a axial flux permanent magnet synchronous motor for use in a washing machine, comprising: a stator comprising a plurality of stator coils arranged about an annular core of the stator, and an insulating structure to electrically insulate the stator coils; and a rotor concentric with the stator and carrying a plurality of permanent magnets; wherein said stator and rotor are configured to rotate relative to one another about a common axis through the interaction of magnetic fields generated by the stator coils and permanent magnets, and wherein the rotor and stator are spaced relative to one another along the common axis so that the magnetic flux path between the rotor magnets and stator coils is oriented in the axial direction.
