Permanent magnetic gears are magneto-mechanical devices that are widely used to replace the ordinary mechanical gear and to transmit torque without the mechanical contact. This study investigates the characteristics of touch free permanent magnetic gear according to the employing systems. The effect of the magnetic torque is analyzed by using 3 dimensional Finite Element Method (FEM). To estimate the transmission torque of FEM model, the numerical results are compared with the experimental results. The influences of geometry size, magnet number on transmission torque are obtained. As results of this paper, it is confirmed that the transmission torque behavior is associated with the configuration of the magnet numbers and the air gap between the two permanent magnetic gears.

The magnetic gear, which amplifies the torque by filtering the magnetic field generated by the low-speed permanent magnet with a modulator, can exclude gear contact and can be effectively applied when there are environmental restrictions. In this paper, we discuss the magnetic force characteristics of a magnetic gear using a magnetic focusing array that replaces a general permanent magnet array magnetized in a radial direction along the circumferential direction. The torque increasing effect of the discussed array, known as an arrangement that increases the principal component by focusing a radial magnetic field, is compared with that of a general magnetic gear. In particular, in a magnetic gear using such an array, the sensitivity of torque according to variables is analyzed to see how various variables known as factors affecting torque have an effect.

Recently, there has been an increasing interest in the non-contact power transmission method of magnetic gears. Since there is no mechanical contact, noise caused by friction can be reduced, and even if a sudden large force is applied, the impact of the gear is close to zero. Further, since the power is transmitted by the magnetic flux, it has high reliability. However, there is a problem that a loss due to a magnetic field due to use of a magnetic flux. The loss caused by the magnetic field of the magnetic gear is a joule loss called eddy current loss. In addition, the eddy current loss in the magnetic gear largely occurs in the permanent magnet, but it is a fatal loss to the permanent magnet which is vulnerable to heat. Particularly, magnetic gears requiring high torque density use NdFeB series permanent magnets, and this permanent magnets have a characteristic in which the magnetic force decreases as temperature increases. Therefore, in this paper, the eddy current loss of the permanent magnet according to the permanent magnet attaching method is analyzed in order to reduce the eddy current loss of the permanent magnet. We have proposed a structure that can reduce the eddy current loss through the analysis and show the effect of reducing the loss of the proposed structure.

In this paper, the characteristics of the coaxial magnetic gear according to the shape of the same gear ratio are analyzed using the two - dimensional finite element analysis. The rotor shape is SMCMG, CPCMG and RCMG. After this we analyzed the characteristics according to three shapes. Also, the amount of permanent magnet used in each shape was compared. Next, characteristics analysis of the magnetic gear according to the shape at the same torque was performed. And the total weight and efficiency of the magnetic gears were compared and verified.

This paper deals with torque analysis of magnetic spur gear with radial magnetized permanent magnets based on analytical method. The analysis is implemented in three parts: First, on the basis of magnetic vector potential and a two-dimensional (2D) polar-coordinate system, the magnetic field solution due to permanent magnet of source gear are obtained. And by using derived magnetic field solutions, the analytical solutions for external magnetic field distribution which affects load gear are obtained. Second, by using coordinate conversion, external magnetic field which is on the primary coordinate system is converted to the secondary coordinate system. Finally, the load gear is reduced to equivalent current densities, and the torque is computed on these currents in the external field of the source magnet. These analytical results are validated by comparing with the 2-D finite element analysis (FEA).

The reduction ratio of the magnetic gear is determined by the ratio of the number of poles between the high-speed permanent magnet layer and the low-speed permanent magnet layer. In general, it is known that the greater the least common multiple of both poles, the smaller the torque ripple called by cogging of the magnetic force generated in the magnetic gear. However, little is known about the effect of the harmonic modulator that filters the magnetic field in the magnetic gear to magnetically couple the high-speed side and the low-speed side except for the number of poles. In this study, torque ripple characteristics according to changes in modulator shape such as opening ratio and tooth thickness are analyzed using a finite element analysis tool.

기어비 변환을 목적으로 설계한 전자석 마그네틱 기어는 영구자석을 이용한 마그네틱 기어와 비교해 낮은 토크 밀도를 가져 토크 밀도의 개선이 필요하다. 이를 보완하고자 기어비 변환 시 각각의 회전자의 자화 방향이 일정한 치를 확인하여 이에 영구자석을 부착해 부족한 토크 밀도를 높이는 연구를 진행했다. 하지만 영구자석이 고르게 부착되지 않으면서 발생한 자속밀도의 불균일로 인해 토크 리플이 증가하는 현상이 문제점으로 발생 되었다. 따라서 전자석 마그네틱 기어의 토크 리플을 감소시키고자 진행된 선행연구를 토대로 폴피스 브릿지, 필레 방식을 적용하여 기어비 변환을 하더라도 각각의 토크 리플을 개선할 수 있는 최적의 방법을 모색하고자 한다.

마그네틱 셔터 기어는 원주상에 마주하는 영구자석 레이어간의 자기장을 고조파 모듈레이터를 통해 동기화시켜 동력을 전달하는 장치이다. 이러한 장치는 기계식 감속기에 필적할만한 토크를 발생시키기 위해 과다한 희토류 영구자석이 이용되기 때문에 본 논문에서는 영구자석간의 자기 경로를 변화시켜 영구자석의 양을 기존 마그네틱 기어 대비 50% 수준으로 감소시킨 새로운 방식의 축형 마그네틱 기어를 제안한다. 제안한 시스템의 토크 크기는 공극 자기장의 고조파 분석과 유한 요소 해석을 통해 기존 시스템과 비교된다. 모듈레이터 두께와 개방비가 전달 토크의 크기에 영향을 미치는 주요 설계변수로 고려되어 민감도 해석이 수행되며 고속측과 저속측의 영구자석 극수에 의해 결정되는 기어비에 따른 코깅의 크기가 분석된다. 기계적인 접촉없이 커플링되어 동력을 전달하는 고속측과 저속측 사이의 동적 지배 모델이 유도된다. 2관성 공진계의 동특성을 갖는 유도된 모델을 기초로 하여 선형 제어기를 설계하여 고속측의 계단 입력 위치 제어를 수행하였다.

The coaxial magnetic gear with the flux concentrating structure is known that it has the torque performance advantage over the coaxial magnetic gear having surface mounted permanent magnet, thanks to the flux focusing effect. But, if the solid cores are used in the modulating pieces and rotor cores to consider the mechanical reliability and cost reduction, the operating torque of the flux concentrating coaxial magnetic gear can be significantly diminished because the iron losses at the solid cores affect the actual transmitted torque. Furthermore, the modulating pieces and rotor cores have different characteristics of the iron losses from one another, because the space harmonic components of the magnetic flux density, which cause the iron losses, are different. Thus, in this paper, we focused on the analysis of the characteristics of the space harmonic components of the magnetic flux density and resultant eddy current losses in the surface mounted PM and flux concentrating coaxial magnetic gears, when these coaxial magnetic gears have the solid cores at the modulating pieces and rotor cores. The characteristics of pull-out torque (static torque), operating torque (dynamic torque), and efficiency are also researched, and compared by the 3D finite element analysis (FEA) and experiment.
