Virtual Magnet Synchronous Motor

Software-defined motion.
No rare-earth magnets.

Vimag Labs is building a new class of electric motor that replaces permanent magnets with real-time digital field control—combining motor architecture, power electronics and proprietary software in one scalable platform.

Diagram of VMSM motor, power electronics and control software
One integrated stack

Magnetic fields created and controlled in real time

Conventional PMSMs embed fixed rare-earth magnets in the rotor. VMSM replaces that dependency with a tightly integrated hardware-and-software stack.

01

Novel synchronous motor architecture

Brushless, slip-ring-free architecture designed to operate without permanent magnets.

02

Power electronics

Controlled excitation creates the required rotor magnetic field dynamically.

03

Proprietary control algorithms

Software adapts field strength and motor behaviour to operating conditions.

04

Application-specific integration

Motor, controller and software are engineered as one motion system for the OEM platform.

How VMSM works
Platform advantage

Remove material dependency without accepting a performance penalty

A software-defined approach creates new options for cost, control, localisation and product evolution.

Supply-chain resilience

Reduce exposure to constrained rare-earth magnet supply chains and geopolitical volatility.

Programmable performance

Tune magnetic field behaviour through controls rather than fixed magnet characteristics.

Lower system cost potential

Replace high-cost permanent magnet content with scalable electronics and common materials.

PMSM-class capability

Designed to match or exceed permanent-magnet solutions across targeted duty cycles.

Platform adaptability

Extend the architecture across mobility, industrial, robotics, defence and cooling applications.

Localisation opportunity

Support indigenous critical motor technology and globally distributed manufacturing.

Commercial deployment

Scaling from active pilots to production programmes

Vimag Labs is working with established two-wheeler and passenger-car manufacturers, with expansion planned across commercial mobility and high-power industrial systems.

View application roadmap

Two-wheelers

Compact, cost-sensitive propulsion systems for high-volume electrification.

Passenger vehicles

Integrated traction systems designed for range, efficiency and controllability.

Commercial mobility

LCV and CV platforms with demanding torque and duty-cycle requirements.

200–600 kW industry

High-power systems for industrial equipment and energy-intensive operations.
