Abstract

An electric motor with double stators includes a first stator, a first stator and a rotor assembly. The rotor assembly is located between the first stator and the second stator in a radial direction. The rotor assembly includes a rotor body, a plurality of first rotor slots, a plurality of second rotor slots, a plurality of first magnets, and a plurality of second magnets. A first air gap is formed between the rotor body and the first stator, and a second air gap is formed between the rotor body and the second stator. The material of the first magnets is different to the material of the second magnets, and any position of the first magnets is different to any position of the second magnets.
