A Low Assembly Cost Coaxial Magnetic Gearbox

摘要

This paper presents the design investigation and experimental testing of a flux-focusing magnetic gearbox with a three piece laminated rotor structure. Each rotor is made of a single lamination stack held together via thin lamination bridges. It is calculated that mechanical bridges reduces the torque density from 156Nm/L to 139Nm/L (a reduction of 11%). The experimentally measured torque density is shown to be only 95Nm/L because the magnets were demagnetized during testing.
