TORSIONAL COMPENSATOR BASED ON MAGNETIC RELUCTANCE

摘要

A torsional compensator (300) for an internal combustion engine (310) is provided. The torsional compensator comprises a rotor portion (304) and a stator portion (306). The rotor portion is in driving engagement with an output of the internal combustion engine. The first rotor portion comprises at least one of first magnetic array (316) and a first ferromagnetic array. The stator portion is disposed about the rotor portion. The stator portion is coupled to at least one of the internal combustion engine, a transmission (312), and a compensator housing (308). The stator portion comprises at least one of a second magnetic array (320) and a second ferromagnetic array. In response to rotation of the rotor portion within the stator portion, a magnetic reluctance force is generated. The magnetic reluctance force applies a torque to the output of the internal combustion engine to dampen a torque ripple of the internal combustion engine.
