A transverse flux machine (TFM) includes: a rotor configured to rotate about an axis and having a plurality of pairs of permanent magnets, with flux concentrating and flux diverging cores alternatively placed between the permanent magnets, each of the pairs of permanent magnets arranged to generate a magnetic flux in a circumferential direction into the flux concentrating core and away from the flux diverging core; and a stator including a transverse flux core configured to direct the magnetic flux in each of a radial direction and an axial direction. The rotor further includes a non-magnetic material located between the permanent magnets of each of the pairs of the permanent magnets, adjacent to the flux concentrating core and opposite from the stator, the non-magnetic material having a thickness (TH) in a radial direction. A steer-by-wire system for a vehicle includes a handwheel actuator including a TFM coupled to a steering wheel.
