Abstract

This paper presents a method of improving performance of an electromagnetic clutch for the next generation tank gun. One of the most important things in the design of the clutch is to satisfy the requirement for the maximum torque even if the torque is varied. To achieve this requirement, it is needed to expand the operation range of the torque. Consequently, we have performed shape changes in order to cancel magnetic flux bottlenecks on the magnetic path. Simulation results from the finite element method show that the method proposed in this paper is proper for the clutch.
