Conference
  • Session
  • Wednesday, 09 April 2014
  • 00:9 - 00:9
  • Duration: 17 mins
  • Publication date: 09 Apr 2014
  • Location: IETTV_Room, IETTV_Venue, Manchester, United Kingdom
  • Part of event 7th International Conference on Power, Electronics, Machines & Drives (PEMD 2014)

About the session

In this presentation, the torque density characteristics for an axial magnetic gear using a flux-focusing topology is studied when using rare-earth (NdFeB) magnets. The torque density is improved by conducting a basic geometric sweep analysis of the most important variable parameters. It is calculated that an extremely high torque density can be achieved with low torque ripple. The mechanical assembly is presented.
