Abstract
Magnetic gears offer several advantages compared to mechanical gears in terms of reduced maintenance, improved reliability, and inherent overload protection while having a high efficiency. This paper describes the principle of operation of a novel form of magnetic gear, which is particularly suited to applications for which a high gear ratio is required. The performance capability of such a magnetic gear is investigated, and it is shown that it transmits a ripple-free torque and that an active torque density of up to 150 kN · m/m <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">3</sup> per stage can be achieved when high-energy permanent magnets are employed. Simulation results on this novel gear are verified by experimental measurements on a prototype.
