description The use of renewable energies in the transportation industry has prompted the development of higher power electric motors and intelligent electronic traction systems. However, the typical coupling between the two continues to be mechanical, which reduces its efficiency and useful life. On the other hand, permanent magnet axial flux motor configurations make it possible to dispense with mechanical couplings, due to their high torque at low speeds due to their direct application on the wheels of vehicles. In this work, the design of a digital pole commutation system is presented, applied to an axial flux motor with permanent magnets for speed and torque control at a constant speed. The performance of the system is evaluated with experimental measurements; proving the effectiveness of the design, obtaining torques of up to 1784 Nm without extra mechanical couplings and maximum speed regulation errors of 8.43%.
