Magnetic gears have the same characteristics as mechanical gears, and each rotor does not come in contact, which is advantageous over mechanical gears in friction noise, heat generation, and maintenance. In addition, when the rotor using the coil-winding is applied, it is possible to control the output of the gear as well as to cut off its own drive in the emergency situation and to change its gear ratio. So the application of the magnetic gear is infinite. However, when the coil-winding rotor is used, cogging torque due to the attraction force between the permanent magnet and the iron core appears, which leads to an increase in the torque ripple component causing the rotor vibration. Therefore, in this paper, various shapes of the coil-winding rotor are analyzed to reduce the torque ripple of the rotor, and the optimum shape for reducing the torque ripple of the magnetic gear is presented.

Available shafts with gears at each end of the cylinder-shaped steel are widely used as power train components for automobiles. In order to automate the production of a geared shaft, there are problems to be solved. After one side of the cylinder is cut in gears, one of the problems is to determine the position of the cylinder which has been already cut. The shaft is then to be fed ahead with geared position to the chuck with jaws in geared shape. The other problem is to acquire information on an angular position of the shaft to fit to the jaws of the chuck. This paper deals with the magnetic detection sensor of gear position. Coils are installed in two places. Self-inductances of coils are detected by the changes of reluctance and are then compared. The magnetic analysis also has been carried out by the finite element analysis (FEM).

A magnetic shutter gear is a device that transfers mechanical power by synchronizing the magnetic field between permanent magnet layers facing circumferentially through a harmonic modulator. However, magnetic gears uses many rare-earth permanent magnets to guarantee comparable torque density to that of mechanical reducer. Hence, we propose a novel axial magnetic gear with a dramatically reduced number of permanent magnets and a closed magnetic path. The torque of the system was compared to that of an existing shutter gear through a harmonic analysis of the air-gap magnetic field. The modulator thickness and open ratio were considered as the primary design parameters, and the cogging effect was analyzed for variation of the reduction ratio. A dynamic model between the high-speed side and low-speed side was derived, and position control was performed for a constructed hardware implementation.

Magnetic gear can transmit torque without any mechanical contact among rotational parts in rotating mechanical systems. Especially, magnetic gear using rare-earth PMs can be used in variety of industry application because of their great power efficiency. Thus, recent trend shows that magnetic gear can be replaced with common mechanical gear. This paper deals with comparison and torque analysis for magnetic gears with parallel and Halbach magnetization according to various design parameters. Using a two dimensional (2D) finite element (FE) analysis, suitable gear ratio is selected. We performed analysis for magnetically connected inner and outer torque with respect to various design parameters including thickness of inner and outer PM, steel pole angle, segments of Halbach array and magnetization pattern of inner and outer PMs. Finally, we can obtain improved design model having parallel and Halbach magnetization with larger torque, compared with an initial design model.

Mechanical gears driven by direct contact have problems including noise, vibration and heat. In order to, solve these problems, magnetic gears having a non-contact magnetic coupling have been proposed. Through various studies on magnetic gears, we found that losses are changed when the number of magnetic poles varies in the same gear ratio. For this reason, research team expect the iron loss of the magnetic gear and the Eddy current loss of the permanent magnet will have a certain tendency depending on the number of poles. This paper identified the magnetic gear's loss tendency according to the number of poles, and laid the basis for efficiency improvement design.

감속기가 사용되어지는 경우 부하의 변동이나 구동부의 상태변화에 따라 모터의 토크, 회전수 등이 변하는데 이러한 값들을 모니터링 하면 부하의 변동이나 구동부를 진단할 수 있다. 본 논문은 유성기어를 이용한 기어드 모터를 제작하고, LCD를 포함하는 간단한 사용자 인터페이스를 통해 전달 Torque, 전달회전수(rpm), 전달동력을 확인할 수 있는 소형의 표시기가 있는 감속기에 관한 것이다. 일반적으로 전달 토크를 측정하는 장비는 크기가 크고 고가이며 계측기를 연결하고 측정하는 과정이 매우 번거로울 뿐만 아니라 지속적인 유지보수가 필요한 단점이 있다. 본 논문에서 제안하는 유성기어를 사용하면 간단히 모터의 토크 및 회전수를 측정할 수 있고 측정값을 표시하는 표시기를 모터에 부착할 수 있다. 측정 및 표시기는 기존 가격에 비해 매우 값싸게 제작할 수 있고 유지보수가 필요 없으며 검출 값을 시스템 제어부에 피드백 시키면 자기진단이 가능해진다. 특히 블루투스를 이용한 무선 통신기능을 부과하면 원격 모니터링이 가능하고 복수 모터유닛의 네트워크 구성이 용이하며 인터넷을 통한 데이터 통신으로의 확장이 가능하다.

Magnetic gears are magnetically coupled to the input side and the output side of the rotary machine to transmit power without mechanical contact. The magnetic gear consists of an inner rotor, an outer rotor and pole pieces. Torque ripple occurs due to the difference in reluctance between the two rotors and the pole pieces during power transmission. Torque ripple is a cause of the noise and vibration of the rotary machine, so it is necessary to minimize it. In this paper, we propose a shape that cuts the corner of the pole piece and apply a fillet to reduce torque ripple. We used a two-dimensional finite element analysis method to compare and analyze the torque ripple of the magnetic gears according to the change of the fillet parameters and to find the pole piece shape with excellent torque ripple.

In a concentric magnetic gear, which replaces the teeth of a mechanical gear with a permanent magnet, the polar ratio of the magnet that determines the reduction ratio affects the behavior of the magnetic gear dramatically. This study analyzed the density of transmission torque, the efficiency of torque considering the solid loss, and the torque quality, including the cogging characteristics using finite element analysis. When the pole number on the driving side was changed from two to five, it was confirmed that there was an optimal pole ratio, in which the transmission torque was maximized. Because eddy current generation density is proportional to the magnetic field, the transmission efficiency also shows a similar tendency to the transmission torque density, and the efficiency is more than 95% at a low gear ratio. The cogging characteristics due to the interaction of the permanent magnets with the limited number of poles are inversely proportional to the least common multiple between the number of magnets on the drive side and the number of modulator teeth. A test model was built for the transmission torque evaluation.
