MAGNETIC GEAR STRUCTURE FOR GEAR MECHANISM

摘要

The current invention describes a novel magnetic structure for a non-coaxial gear mechanism. The gear mechanism has several magnetic poles on the surface of one or more movable rotors. The magnetic poles can be formed on the surface either by attaching the permanent magnets over the surface or by having a winding in the rotor and by exciting with an external source. The magnetic poles on the surface of the rotors are alternatively arranged 3 and 4. The movable rotors are magnetically linked with uniformly separated iron pieces called as flux linkers 5. The number of flux linkers 5 is decided by the number of alternating magnetic poles on the surface of the movable rotors. There is further no physical contact between the rotors and the flux linkers 5. The gear mechanism described has a single input 1 and multiple outputs 2, 6 and 7. Figure 3
