Revolutionize Your Racing Experience with Thrustmaster’s Axial Flux Motor-Drummed Sim Racing Wheel
Introducing the Thrustmaster T598: Revolutionizing Sim Racing with Axial-Flux Technology
The world of sim racing has just taken a significant leap forward with the introduction of the Thrustmaster T598, a direct-drive wheel that harnesses the power of axial-flux technology to deliver unparalleled realism and immersion. This compact, high-performance sim racing wheel is designed to provide a true-to-life driving experience, with its advanced motor and proprietary cooling system allowing for smooth, quiet, and precise control.
What is Axial-Flux Technology?
Axial-flux motors have been used in high-performance hybrids and electric vehicles for years, but Thrustmaster has now brought this innovative technology to the world of sim racing. By placing the magnetic flux parallel to the shaft, axial-flux motors eliminate the "cogging" effect associated with traditional radial-flux motors, providing a smoother, more responsive driving experience.
How Does it Work?
The T598’s axial-flux motor generates a consistent 5 Nm of power, which can be boosted to about double this level for extreme inputs. This is made possible by Thrustmaster’s "controlled overshoot" technology, which harnesses the power of the motor’s natural resonance to provide even more realistic feedback. This means that, unlike other direct-drive wheels, the T598 can produce vibrations and shifts in force feedback without the need for additional haptic modules.
Key Features
- Axial-flux motor for improved precision and responsiveness
- 5 Nm of power, tunable to double for extreme inputs
- Compact design with active cooling system for quiet and efficient operation
- Compatible with both PlayStation and Windows PCs
