Design of a Magnetic Gear Set with Low Torque Ripple

Article Preview

Abstract:

Non-contact magnetic gears have gained significant attention due to no mechanical fatigue, no lubrication, reduced maintenance, improved reliability, overload protection, physical isolation between input and output shafts, and potential for very high efficiency. However, it inherently suffers from a main disadvantage on the ripple of the transmitted torque that may causes vibration of the output shaft. This paper presents an external magnetic gear set with section-shaped magnets with low torque ripple. Finite-element method is used as an assistant tool for the magnetic field analysis and transmitted torque analysis. The effects of number of magnet poles on the maximum transmitted torque and torque ripple of the magnetic gear set are also discussed. It is of benefit to the further design purposes of magnetic gear mechanisms
