what is the difference between a 2 pole, 4pole or whatever pole?

that would explain the Neus being so expensive, double magnets AND double coils;)

edit: I was reading the above link and am wondering, how Novak got away with three sensor wires, the pic on link shows 4 sensors

Well it doesn't really make them more expensive having more coils, as it's generally the same amount of copper inside the stator as a 2 pole. I am just a little confused right now with the 'terms' various manufacturers are using, and the article Serum posted... we know how these motors work, it's just kinda lost in translation right now. :032:

IMO, I am pretty sure the Neu's have double the coils as a 2 pole motor, otherwise why would the turn count be so low. We should get to the bottom of this kind of stuff and make a sticky thread, Serum?
