Method of designing optimal bi-axial magnetic gears and system of the same

摘要

A method for designing an optimal bi-axial type of magnetic gear system that uses magnetic coupling for transmitting torque in order to be free from the defects caused by using a conventional mechanical gear system. A non-coaxial rather than a conventional coaxial type of magnetic gear design is considered for this invention. For the non-coaxial magnetic gear system, the size of torque will depend on the number of poles magnetized out of the strong magnetic material around the magnetic gear. Therefore, the optimum number of magnetized poles must be carefully selected for a set of specified conditions such that the largest torque can be obtained. An optimal magnetic gear system can be produced by the method in this invention.
