Gasgoo Munich- Suzhou Vaxor-motor CO., LTD. (VAXOR MOTOR) announced on June 4 that it has secured tens of millions of yuan in a Pre-A funding round.Led by Shenzhen Capital Group with participation from Tianqi Capital and Zhuoyuan Asia, the capital will primarily drive the mass-production ramp-up of next-generation micro axial flux motors, the construction of coreless motor production lines, and the fulfillment of supply chain obligations for top-tier global clients.Founded in August 2024, the company is led by founder and CEO Zhang Yang, a 12-year motor industry veteran who previously worked at Midea, Weifu High-Tech, and Seyond. He spearheaded the development of the world's first 1550nm automotive LiDAR scanning system, which achieved annual sales exceeding 150,000 units. CTO Han Jie brings a decade of R&D experience, having overseen the mass production of multiple main-drive and precision motors at Geely and Seyond.Image Source: VAXOR MOTORFocusing on the R&D and manufacturing of ultra-micro motors, VAXOR MOTOR aims to resolve persistent industry challenges such as the bulky size, long transmission chains, and poor reliability associated with dexterous robotic hands.Traditional dexterous hand designs typically rely on a multi-stage transmission structure combining coreless motors, planetary reducers, and ball screws. However, this approach has long faced bottlenecks in high-performance micro-joint modules. Addressing this pain point, VAXOR MOTOR has pioneered a global first: a technical roadmap combining PCB axial flux motors with cycloidal reducers.PCB Axial Flux Stator Process: Utilizing advanced IC substrate High Density Interconnect (HDI) technology for PCB windings, the company has produced a 48-layer micro stator measuring just 4.2mm thick. The copper fill rate has achieved a breakthrough of 51%—compared to roughly 35% for traditional winding processes—pushing motor efficiency above 80% and delivering torque density ten times that of similarly sized coreless motors.Micro Single Cycloidal Gear Reducer: Tailored for miniaturization, VAXOR MOTOR has developed an ultra-precision single cycloidal reducer that achieves a high reduction ratio of 50:1 within a height of just 2mm. The design offers high stiffness, low backlash (less than 20 arc minutes), and strong impact resistance.Innovative Dual-Stator Single-Rotor Structure: This design ensures high torque output while using symmetrical magnetic fields to neutralize axial magnetic pull, thereby enhancing operational stability. Additionally, an exclusively optimized cooling hole layout improves heat dissipation performance by 50% under identical conditions.VAXOR MOTOR has integrated deeply into the supply chains of top global embodied intelligence companies. In the consumer electronics sector, it has also secured positions with several giants, supplying products for high-end devices such as mobile phones and computers. A surge in order deliveries is anticipated in 2026.The company's smart manufacturing facility in Suzhou is now operational, offering a flexible annual production capacity of 100,000 units.About "Seeds Discovery":Gasgoo's "Seeds Discovery" column is designed to create a service platform connecting startups, industrial chain partners, investors, and local governments, providing deep empowerment across the supply chain.
