Abstract:This paper presents three-dimensional boundary element analysis for coupled magnetic field and moving problem. The method is applied to improve transmission characteristics of a magnetic gear and the usefulness is demonstrated. The gear has two movers consisting of permanent magnets and they rotate with different velocity. The double gap moving problem is very time consuming, because the mesh has to be regenerated at each time step or prepared many patterns previously. The use of the boundary element method is… Show more
“…So, many problems, which the wear, the dust and the noise are occurring by the contact of the ordinary gear tooth, can be removed. About transmitting a torque, many reports have studied on reduction of improvement of the maximum transmission torque and the cogging torque [1][2][3][4][5][6][7]. Also, the magnetic gear steps out when the exceed torque is inputted.…”
A magnetic gear can transmit a torque and a motion without the contact by the magnetic force. The torque just before the gear idling defines the maximum transmission torque of the magnetic gear. The maximum transmission torque of the magnetic gear is defined by the strength of the magnet and the gap between gears at the stage of design. In this paper, we focus on the adjusting method of the maximum transmission torque at the time of use. The adjusting method is to change the facing length of the magnetic gears by shifting the one of gears in the axial direction. Thus, we reveal the relationship between the torque and the facing length and the relationship between the torque and the gear gap. The limit torque can be assigned on the basis of the obtained relationship.

About transmitting a torque, many reports have studied the cogging torque and the maximum transmission torque [1][2][3][4]. But the relationship between the transmission torque and the number of teeth has not been reported.…”
A magnetic gear transmits torque without contact. The torque just before the gear idling defines the maximum transmission torque of the magnetic gear. Today, many methods are studied well to increase the maximum transmission torque. But no attention is paid to the number of magnetic gear teeth. In this paper, we focus on the relationship between the number of teeth and the maximum transmission torque. In experiments, three types of the developed gears, which have the different number of teeth, are checked for the maximum transmission torque. As experimental results, we reveal influence of the teeth number to the transmission torque.
