Abstract
A drive (A) for imparting rotation about an axis (X) includes an axial flux motor (4) having a stator (38) and a rotor (44), an output drive element (8), an epicyclic gear system (6) located between the rotor of the axial flux motor and the drive element. The gear system is located within and surrounded by the motor, thus rendering the drive highly compact along its axis.
